What the heck is going on with Rodea: The Sky Soldier? Even Prope founder Yuji Naka isn’t entirely sure.

When asked about the status of Rodea, Naka once again said that the Wii version was completed almost an entire year ago. Oddly enough, the 3DS edition is what seems to be holding up Kadokawa Games, who is developing and publishing the title for Nintendo’s handheld.

“I want to ask the same question! We have finished developing the Wii version and we have already submitted it. That was around a year ago. But it seems like they are still considering the [details of] the 3DS version.”

Naka said that he isn’t positive on what will happen with Rodea, but hopes fans will be given an opportunity to purchase the game. He estimates that a 2013 launch could be possible.

“It might be close to being finished, but we havent spoken to Kadokawa in a while, so I’m not sure. Kadokawa never said they’re not going to sell it, so I would guess they’ll release it sometime in 2013 or so. That has to get cleared up. Because of that, I’m not sure what’s going to happen to the game. However, I’m very confident we were able to create a new type of action game. I really want a lot of people to play this game.”

There is one major concern on Naka’s mind: the Wii U. He has no issues with the console itself, but explained why the console’s introduction could impact Rodea:

“One unfortunate thing about the Wii U announcement: It doesn’t come with a Wii remote, so Rodea and all the other Wii titles I created, people won’t be able to play it with a Wii remote. They’ll have to use the Wii U GamePad. I created the game specifically for the Wii remote, so it’s going to turn into a totally different experience. I’m really down about that because Rodea is a really good game.”

Again, Naka has no qualms with the actual Wii U hardware. In fact, he made a few game concepts after the system was revealed.

“Whenever there is new hardware, I feel like creating something for it. Following the announcement of the Wii U, I’ve been writing a bunch of game concepts. I’m hoping to be able to create a game for Wii U. Any new piece of hardware always looks fun. Kinect looks interesting, as well.”
