I remeber seeing the ads....

And at the time I read quite a few articles...

But I've still never really known...

What was the robot the Nintendo released with the SNES all about?

Did it actually do anything?

Or was it just a large chunk of plastic that esxaped from 'Short Circuit'?

If my memory serves me correctly... of which there is nothing...


Rob the robot was released by Nintendo as a "kid with no siblings/friends" device, so you could play agaisnt someone. But he only worked with several games, and he was crap at them.

I'll dig up a link for you.

R.O.B... Thats the one... was he on the NES?...

Wasnt he supposed to help play some games, like that duckshoot, etc or somethings?

I always thjought the NES was behind the times until I discovered it was released in 1983 :)

I don't think he came with every NES but was part of a special package.

I never got a robot with my NES!

Have I missed out on one of the gaming worlds great achievements, or should I be relieved that someone made the error of not handing me one with my proud purchase?

Do you mean ROB.

He came with the NES, not the SNES.

I'm not sure if he did anything though!

Maybe he could remove one game, and put another in for you or something?
