90’s Arcade Racer was never a sure-thing for Wii U, but creator Pelikan13 had shown interest in the possibility. Today, Pelikan13 posted a new update on the official Kickstarter page that strongly hints at a version for Nintendo’s console.
The message reads:
“Since the project went live there have been some very exciting developments that I can’t talk about yet but the game could be heading for the TV. This is not a one person project anymore and I hope U Wiil stay tuned for more news.”
Take a look at that last sentence – specifically “U Wiil”. Get rid of the “l” and switch “U” and “Wii”. What do you have? Wii U!
RALEIGH, N.C. – (January 29, 2013) – Gamebase USA, a subsidiary of Gamebase Co. Ltd. announced they are now an authorized middleware developer for Wii UTM. Acting as an authorized middleware developer of Nintendo, the Gamebryo engine offers support for Wii U development.
“We are determined to stay on the cutting edge of all new hardware as it becomes available,” said Gabriel Liberty, Technical Director of Gamebase USA. “The Wii U is powerful enough to take advantage of all of Gamebryo’s features including our advanced lighting techniques and multicore technology.”
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.”

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”.
