Rodea: The Sky Soldier is one of those games that had seemingly become vaporeware. Originally announced in 2011, the game has more or less been missing in action since.
Thankfully, we now have a confirmation that the game hasn’t been cancelled. Japanese publisher Kadokawa Games assured gamers in a new interview with 4Gamer that the 3DS version is still on the way and is 70% complete. The team had attempted to replicate a similar control scheme on 3DS that was planned for Wii, but they weren’t able to get things right initially.
