Released in the United States in 1986, Chubby Cherub was quietly dropped by Bandai, which kept its print run low and drives the steep price of complete copies today. A Western reskin of Japan's Obake no Q-Taro, whose licence could not travel abroad, the title saw little distribution and faded fast. Its standing rests on scarcity rather than play quality, the game being regarded as one of Bandai's weaker NES outings.
