Noise has been fairly quiet since releasing Custom Robo Arena in 2009. Similarly, Nintendo hasn’t announced anything new for the series following the DS game’s launch.

It sounds like there’s still quite a bit of interest in the IP, as noted on Noise’s official blog. In a new post, the studio wrote that it often receives emails asking about future Custom Robo titles, but “with the changes around the game industry, I felt that it would be difficult to continue to create these games exactly as they had been in the past.”

Noise is currently mulling over “in what form we could use this important property.” But for now, the team “cannot say when or in what form something will appear.” Noise additionally thanked fans of the series and noted: “I hope that one day I will have something good to report for you.”

Read on below for Noise’s fully translated blog post concerning Custom Robo.

Nintendo will probably never allow Wii U owners to play 3DS games on their televisions (or GamePads). But that doesn’t mean we can’t imagine the possibility!

Dave Delisle created a “DSU” concept that would permit users to plug a 3DS game into a small box, which is in turn connected to a Wii U. The hardware would beam the the 3DS’ top screen to a TV and the bottom screen to the GamePad. Of course, you’d lose the 3D effect.

This isn’t real. But it’s kind of neat. It may remind you of that lovely Game Boy Player for GameCube!

Square Enix nabbed a few new Japanese trademarks. The first, Drakengard, may have been registered to pave the way for digital re-releases in the future. Square Enix also registered “Princess and the Legendary Ring”, which Siliconera suggests could be the subtitle of a new Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles project.

SEGA filed a new trademark of its own known as “Chaos Heroes Online and Red Blood”. And last but not laest, Namco Bandai now has the name “Unison Chronicles and Unisonant Pack”.

Crytek’s new studio in the US will be primarily comprised of staffers from the now-defunct Vigil Games. The company essentially closed its doors following THQ’s auction of assets last week.

In a statement, Crytek confirmed that 35 developers are joining its new division in Austin, Texas – including former GM and co-owner David Adams.

“We can confirm that the 35 developers are former Vigil Games employees.”

Separately, Crytek’s Jens Schafer said that the studio is “more like a new start for [the team at Vigil].”

XSEED VP Ken Berry opened up on a number of interesting topics in an interview with Digital Trends. Berry discussed its support of Wii, its “deal” with Nintendo for The Last Story, the company’s sales expectations for Pandora’s Tower, and Retro Game Challenge 2 localization.

Sadly, XSEED has no plans to localize the DS title – nor will it consider an eShop release. The first game “was an incredibly expensive project”, but it didn’t sell well at all. As a result, XSEED can’t take a similar risk with Retro Game Challenge 2.

Head past the break to read up on all of Berry’s commentary.
