DID YOU KNOW? - 'CUSTOM ROBO' HITS STORES ON MAY 10

May 7, 2004 -- Set your strategy, build your robot and challenge your friends to the ultimate robot battle. Custom Robo™ lets you and up to three friends create your own customized robots from nearly 200 unique parts and then turns you loose in a virtual arena to find out who is made of steel and who is just a bucket of bolts.

Custom Robo is set in the not-so-distant future, where mankind solves conflicts by battling customized robots on virtual battlefields known as holosseums. In the "arcade" and "versus" modes, players will choose robots, check out information on opponents and holosseums, then customize their robots from specialized parts to maximize their chances of winning.

Mix and match body types such as homing pods and feather legs to come up with the ultimate winning machine. Battle modes are varied, too. Players can have one-on-one or two-on-two competitions, team up for Tag-Team Battles and one-on-two brawls, or pull out all the stops in three- or four-player Battle Royal.

Do you have the mettle to test your opponents' metal? Enter the holosseum when Custom Robo, only for Nintendo GameCube™, hits stores on May 10, 2004, at an MRSP of $39.99. Additional titles for Nintendo GameCube will be showcased in the Nintendo booth at the upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo E3 in Los Angeles, May 12 to 14, 2004.
