On this week’s episode: Star Fox 64 3D, BIT.TRIP SAGA, BIT.TRIP COMPLETE, Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 2, Star Fox 64 3D Launch Party and The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass.


You remember Rodea the Sky Soldier, right? It was that very promising NiGHTS-like game that was set for a dual-release on Wii and 3DS.

Although we haven’t heard anything about the project since it was announced earlier this year, development has progressed well. In fact, Yuji Naka has said that the title is complete “for awhile now.”

“Rodea the Sky Soldier has been finished for awhile now. My part at Prope has been done. Now it’s up to Kadokawa Games to decide on the release strategy whether it will be come out for North America, Europe, and Japan.”

Naka was also asked about a possible Wii U version. At this time he explained why there are no plans for that:

“It’s finished as Wii title and as of now we have no plans to bring it to Wii U. Rodea was made specifically for the Wii so players could enjoy it by flicking the remote. If we tried to incorporate those controls into the large Wii U controller it wouldn’t be the same. I would really like for people to play and enjoy it on the Wii as I had originally intended.”
