Custom Robo

Noise, the developers behind the Custom Robo series, a very popular group of robot simulation games on the Nintendo 64 and Gameboy Advance, has revealed on their new website that they are working on a new game for the GameCube.

Due out sometime in 2003, no additional information was given except that it would fit into the genre of "Robot Action/RPG," a moniker that is certainly befitting of their previous efforts.

According to the update, the new title will be released in Japan, North America, and Europe during the Summer of 2003. The two Custom Robo games released on the N64 in Japan were never localized for the domestic market, even though they both sold well in their homeland.

Regardless of whether it is a new installment in the series, a new action/RPG for the GameCube, particularly from Marigul-subsidiary Noise, should elicit more than a little anticipation. We'll have a follow-up when the developer reveals more information.

Marigul Management, Inc.
Recruit- and Nintendo-funded development conglomerate, comprised of numerous studios, including Param, Noise, Clever Trick, Ambrella and Saru Brunei. Marigul was founded to allow smaller design teams to focus their energies on original game design -- rather than worrying about creating big-time sellers.

Hey You, Pikachu!

Fuck yeah...I haven't gotten around to playing the GBA installment yet, but I loved the N64 games...can't wait.

THat would be cool.. if they added online play.

Yah.. i heard this game is alot better than virtual on.. especially since you build your mecha. so cool..cant waint..

Woo-hoo! :)

Hopefully the GBA game sees release here after it was announced.

Custom Robo is a fantastic game. I remember a long time ago Custom Robo V3 was rumored, and now it seems like its coming true. awesome!

Very cool. This badly needs online features though.

Yeah, right... and we're also getting Doshin the Giant, Fire Emblem and Magical Vacation. :p
