About The Game
1,000 years ago, Emperor Geardo of the Naga Empire sent an army of machine soldiers to invade the sky kingdom of Garuda. Thanks to the efforts of Princess Cecilia and Rodea, a machine soldier who promised to protect Garuda, Emperor Geardo's assault was thwarted.
In present day, a spirited inventor named Ion discovers an abandoned robot that has fallen into disrepair in the heart of a scorching desert. Upon completing her repairs, the robot stirs to life and reveals itself to be none other than Rodea. Stunned to find himself in the future, Rodea learns that the Naga Empire is no more and that Garuda has known peace for 1,000 years.
But this peace was not meant to last, for the forces of Naga have returned to wage war against Garuda. Remembering the promise he made 1,000 years ago, Rodea takes to the skies to defend Garuda from the Naga Empire once again.

You and me both...
Where is this game... I remember reading that the development of this title has been done already a few years ago...
Really hope it arrives on Wii U and/or 3DS. Wii version at this point is not going to happen.
Always puzzled me why did they not release the Wii version three years ago?

So awesome, the game is finally getting released. Japan will get it in April and the Wii U version will include also the original Wii version that has been done and ready for about three years already!
