Custom Robo
Nintendo Classics We Can Go Without Ever Seeing Again
There are currently five games in the Custom Robo series, though you’d be forgiven for not knowing that. The games do much better in Japan than they do with Western audiences but that hasn’t stopped them from releasing everywhere. Custom Robo sees players using robots to compete in arena-based battle contests. The games fall into that age-old collect, customize and battle gameplay loop, with the aim of the game being to collect all of the different Custom Robos.
The last entry into the series released on Nintendo DS to positive reviews, but definitely highlighted just how convoluted the series’ narrative can be. It was a noticeable step-up from the GameCube iteration though, but seemingly not enough to warrant any new games since then. Probably for the best.
