NIS America Confirms Rodea the Sky Soldier Delay

I saw the date on my preorder slip. No big deal. It's been a long wait for this game. A little bit more won't hurt.

I think it still looks like a solid game and hopefully a truly good final game for the Wii... oh wait those Skylanders games keep coming out on Wii, don't they?

The only people in the world who look at Might No 9 and think "I like their style."

Will get the 3DS version whenever it gets released.

I played the Japanese version on 3DS and hated the flying controls in it. I should probably put it back in and give it another shot.

That's unfortunate to hear with another delay but hopefully the extra month will help in the end.

As much as the lil' extras are tempting though, I don't think I'll be picking this up till next year, especially with Rise Of The Tomb Raider coming out the same day (& playing my way through the new Adventure Time, Shovel Knight & Gravity Falls on 3ds too).

Still think it'll be great & a real hidden gem, but feel that it'll be unfortunately lost & overlooked in November with the big games coming out on the PS4 & XB1 at the same time.

And here I am... being self-bombarded with ideas too much to get working on my game... Better settle on something soon. In relation to this game, some of the mechanics remind me of modern sonic games(modern as in when the homing attack was new)

@DiscoGentleman

Ah I see. Certainly liked what I've seen so far from the footage over the past few months so definitely keeping an eye on this anyway.

This is awfully vague for game that is out already. ""due to ongoing technical difficulties"

why is it delay in europe and america? wasn't the game release in japan on april this year!

I have way to many games I want to buy to even consider picking up this game!
Mario Maker, Yoshi Wool, Xenoblade, StarFox, Mario Tennis...

So, um, is anyone actually seriously looking forward to this game..?

@CB85 I am, this looks like an fun enjoyable game

@CB85 Me too. I've had the limited edition preordered for a while now. I'm not going to worry about a delay since a have a backlog to keep me occupied as long as it takes.

For some reason, i always thought it was coming in November. So, all is as I predicted?

This game looks fun, so the delay is disappointing, but could be worse

A reversible cover is one thing, but it'd be nice if they produced an -extra- cover so I could have the Wii and Wii U versions in separate boxes.

@Royalblues agreed! Watching the vid totally reminded me of Sonic Adventure back on the Dreamcast.

Doesn't look like there is much going on in this game gameplay wise. Still it looks intriguing.

Already preordered; don't mind a small delay. This is going to be awesome to have a new Wii game. Way to go, NIS(A).

the gameplay looks like a mix between sonic and star fox adventures

@FLUX_CAPACITOR It's already out in Japan, so it's not vaporware-ish like The Last Guardian, FFXV, and KHIII.

So many delays for so many games lately. As long as it still comes out this year, I'm ok with it.

@CB85 Yeah dude! Some people look at this game and think, 'the graphics look crap, blah blah graphics, blah graphics'. And some go,' gameplay looks fun, different. I like the art direction, character designs'.

@EllenJMiller Why do that when they can give you an incentive to buy a second copy?

Probably to keep packaging costs down, though I would have expected they would have done that with the Limited Edition, complete with a white Wii case.

OH THANK GOD (for Jim)! That week or two was set to be jam-packed for big releases, and I was getting worried I could even keep up. Now I've the wiggle room for the Disgaea 5 set.

As long as I get my Wii version, I'm happy. I'm excited for this. Just picked NiGHTS and Christmas NiGHTS as well, so I'll be playing some Naka games throughout the wait anyway.

Q) Are you still planning to pick this one up on Wii U and/or 3DS?

A) I pre-ordered my copy of the Wii U version of Rodea the Sky Soldier long ago. In fact, it's one of the only games that I've ever pre-ordered from somewhere other than my nearest GAME store. I'm glad I did as it turns out that the GAME store version doesn't appear to have the Wii version included with it.

Now then, in regards to the delay, I'm not concerned about it. I've already pre-ordered the game, so I don't have to worry about going out to get it on any specific day nor save up further money for it. The only nuisance that this delays causes is that I'll be trying to play Star Fox Zero, Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water, and Rodea the Sky Soldier... all at the same time.

I'd also like to note that I love both box arts that have been presented. I feel the Wii U version shows off the concept of the game better, but the Wii box art does look cool, and I'll luckily be able to have both.

Currently Rodea the Sky Soldier stands as the Wii U game I'm looking forward to most this year, and this delay doesn't change that.

I would not recommend the 3DS version, tbh. I've played it and...well, it's visually very disappointing. You might think, "Well, obviously, cuz it's 3DS", but seriously, it looks like they shoved the Wii version onto the 3DS without optimizing it much for the handheld and then just released it. Low framerate, trashy graphics, and overall just a disappointing port. The game still plays decently well, but I would definitely stick with the home console version if you can.
