Rodea the Sky Soldier (天空の機士ロデア Tenkuu no Kishi Rodea?) is an upcoming action video game developed by Prope and published by Kadokawa Shoten for the Wii console and Nintendo 3DS.


Rodea the Sky Soldier was first alluded to in a 2010 interview with Yuji Naka by ComputerAndVideoGames.com, calling it "a very original action game based in the sky."[1][2] ComputerAndVideoGames.com especially has "high hopes for this one".[3]

According to an interview with Naka published by Siliconera, the game's development has finished, and he is waiting for Kadokawa Games to publish the game.[4]

XSEED Games has expressed interest in localizing Rodea the Sky Soldier for North America.[5]


For the Wii version, gameplay consists of controlling the game's protagonist Rodea by aiming with the Wii Remote at solid objects and pressing the B button to have Rodea fly in parabolic arches.[3]

Rodea the Sky Soldier has been a project in development purgatory, or so it seems to us here at Nintendo Life. For a couple of years infrequent updates have confirmed that the game is still set for Wii and 3DS, with the title being strung along every step of the way; for his part Sonic the Hedgehog co-creator Yuji Naka said his part in the game was finished nearly two years ago, putting the emphasis on publisher Kadokawa Games.

It seemed to be too late for the Wii version back then, and yet amazingly Kadokawa Games' President, Yoshimi Yasuda, has come out and said that the game is still on its way to release, stating that all went quiet due to a loss of media interest — which was probably caused by the lack of updates and progress — and that the controls for the 3DS version didn't feel as tight and optimised as the studio wanted. The 3DS version is said to be 70% complete, while we assume the Wii version is practically finished, as it supposedly was back in 2011.

It's hard to know what to make of this latest "update"; there may still be an optimal time for the 3DS release as the handheld continues to gain momentum, but the audience actively buying new Wii games — not to mention retailers actually willing to stock and distribute new releases for the system — is surely decreasing with every passing month. If the Wii release does still arrive in the future, we don't expect sales to be at all impressive, though with good marketing and distribution the 3DS entry should have a fighting chance.

It's a shame that this project has had such a difficult road to the market so far, as the original trailer below is so full of promise.

Thanks for the update. Note that the Wii tag is [WII] not [Wii], so please fix that.

Rodea the Sky Soldier, formerly a Wii and 3DS title, is now coming to Wii U and 3DS in spring 2015, the latest issue of Famitsu reveals.

The Wii U version will cost 7,200 yen and the 3DS version 5,800 yen.

In Japan, the game was previously known as Tenkuu no Kishi Rodea. It is now called Rodea the Sky Soldier. However, Japanese blogs list the first-print Wii U version of the game as including the Wii version of Tenkuu no Kishi Rodea.

The Prope-developed, Kadokawa-published action game features free 360-degree movement throughout the skies and colossal-size boss battles. It puts players in the role of Rodea, a machine soldier who lost his memory and is discovered and reactivated by Ion. Both characters, as well as a mysterious girl named Cecilia, appear in Famitsu.

The game is produced by Kadokawa Games’ Yoshimi Yasuda and directed by Kadokawa’s Zin Hasegawa, who was formerly the producer. Development is 85 percent complete.
