Description
R.O.B. (Robotic Operating Buddy) is a robot that could substitute for a second player in the Nintendo Entertainment System games Stack-Up and Gyromite. The short-lived accessory did not prove to be popular, leading Nintendo to cancel it. In the following years R.O.B. would remain alive in Nintendo's video games, however, appearing as a playable character in Mario Kart DS and Super Smash Bros. Brawl and making several cameo appearances in titles such as StarTropics, the WarioWare games, Pikmin 2 and more. As a kid, R.O.B. was pretty nifty; but, he did get really old really fast. I feel as though if Nintendo had given him more functionality, he would have been a much better add-on to the NES (granted he was free with your purchase of Gyromite and technology wasn't exactly at its peak). I'm glad he has recently reignited the flames of his career and has become a popular character once more!
