Remember that NIS title called Rodea the Sky Soldier? As of today, NIS has announced that the game will be releasing on September 22nd for North America while Europe will follow suit on the 25th of September. Rodea the Sky Soldier will be launching on both Nintendo Wii u and the Nintendo 3DS.
For those who are interested in the title and pick it up when it initially launches, they will be able to obtain the Wii U version that will be packaged with the Wii version when it launches. For those wanting to get it on Nintendo 3DS, they will be able to pick the game up will be able to get it in both physical and digital formats. The title is the brainchild of Yuji Naka and Zin Hasegawa, and will forge both speed and adventure together in a unique twist as players journey through the skies in this upcoming release.

Ah I haven’t seen this formula used in a game for awhile I must admit its kind of a gamble for nis america to bring the ip over here to the states since the wii u isnt exactly super popular. At first glance though I thought the game was a nod to skies of arcadia which made me excited but now after watching the vid I gotta sadly bow out and lost interest in it not really into this sort of thing.
Sorry for the delay in a response, John. Us fellows here at B.A.T.G.R. have been extremely busy trying to get a few reviews done at once. With that we’ve even had to put news on the backburner to ensure that we can get our reviews to date. While I’m excited for this game since it has a tribute to Skies of Arcadia (which I’m a huge fan of and would love to see remade in HD) I feel this game could be rather interesting if the approach is taken carefully enough. If we have time we may try and give this game a review based on the Wii U or 3DS version depending who is free for a review.
While the game looks exciting, I’m still a bit on the fence about it, but will be giving it a shot for personal reasons since I love Wii U games.
