A bit more on the revival of Rodea: The Sky Soldier
During a recent event for Rodea: The Sky Soldier in Japan, a bit more was shared on the revitalization of the title.
As many of you know, Rodea was first announced for Wii and 3DS back in January 2011. It disappeared after a few months and it wasn’t until November 2014 that it resurfaced again. People didn’t believe that Rodea would see a release before the game re-emerged at the time.
Yuji Naka, director of Rodea, kept thinking: “I wonder if the game won’t be sold yet again!” Naka still jokes that he doesn’t believe a release will happen until he sees the game on store shelves. When Nakamura Yuichi, the voice actor of Rodea, was asked to do additional recordings after three years, he said: “Oh, isn’t the game out yet?”
Bringing Rodea: The Sky Soldier to Wii U wasn’t originally in the cards. However, when the console launched, it was decided to make a version for that platform as well. Although creating the game for three platforms made the process longer, it was thought that more people would have a chance to play the game.
Rodea: The Sky Soldier hits Japan on April 2 for Wii U and 3DS. The original Wii game will be offered with the Wii U version as a first-print bonus.
