We now have confirmation – from the game’s official Japanese website – that the latter two sports will be launching individually on June 26th. Much like tennis, bowling, and golf, you’ll be able to purchase baseball and bowling as digital downloads. Interestingly, pricing is set at 1,000 yen for the collection of baseball and boxing.

Rodea: The Sky Soldier is kind of like the game that never was. The title was first announced in 2011 for Wii and 3DS, but still has yet to release.

Nearly a year ago, publisher Kadokawa Games said Rodea was still in the works. The 3DS version was in a “plus alpha” state at the time.

Unfortunately, there hasn’t been an update on Rodea since. But Kadokawa may still intend to bring out the title having recently re-registered a trademark in Japan. Perhaps one day we’ll finally see it launch!
