10 Lesser Known Video Games That Should Be Remade

1. Custom Robo Arena

The reason Custom Robo is relatively unknown by a large amount of its potential audience is something that many franchises suffer from. The series didn't see release outside of Japan until 2004, with the GameCube edition of Custom Robo, and even then was only released in North America.

And such, if you were a European interested in the franchise, you'd either have to import the games (and possibly learn a new language), or wait until 2007, a whole eight years after the first instalment initially came out.

This delay meant that the franchise didn't quite manage to have the impact it could have - not helped by the fact that to many it likely seemed like an unholy twin of Transformers.

But Custom Robo Arena, despite all this, is legitimately fun to play. Customising your robots to fit your fighting style is endlessly interesting, and the fights themselves feel way better than you'd expect any DS game to be capable of being.

Jazz up the story a little and update the graphics, and this could be the kind of game the Switch was born to host.
