Rodea the Sky Soldier has had a troubled history, delayed frequently before its eventual release - and commercial flop - in Japan. It seems that troubles have followed its localisation, too, if the status of Amazon orders are to be believed.
We're been sent a copy of a pre-order notification for Amazon in the US - thanks Zach - which has pushed back the estimated delivery of the Wii U version to 16th-20th November, with the email saying the following.
We have received new release date information related to your pre-ordered video game in the order you placed on *******. The release date for the video game listed below has been changed by the publisher.
That's the extent of the information, and points to a delay of around a month.
Hopefully this will eventually stumble out of the door, as we rather enjoyed some recent hands on time with the game.
Are you hoping to pick this up?

I've had the limited edition preordered for a while, and I have no problem with waiting a bit longer. It puts off when my credit card is charged, and it isn't like I don't have a huge backlog that will keep me more than occupied in the meantime.
Meh, September is busy enough with Mario Maker, Mighty Number 9 and yet more Amiibos, so I'll take that November date.
I have the limited editions preordered on NIS America's site (both Wii U and 3DS). Would be great to play them soon, but considering the release heavy months coming, it'd actually make more sense if they delay until after the holiday/Christmas season.
@mineralrich
Are those still available? And I think the Wii U CE comes with the Wii copy of the game, right? But does the standard release?
And is there a separate CE for 3DS or a master CE with all 3 versions
@JaxonH Last time I checked there were plenty of preorders available for both limited editions (3DS and Wii U). Preordering the Wii U edition does guarantee you the first-run copies of the original Wii edition. Both 3DS and Wii U limited editions, from what I see, give you the same limited edition goodies - only difference your choice of platform.
I believe that the standard Wii U release will still get you the Wii version. So if you want to save money and just get the standard version (from Best Buy, Amazon, etc.), they should also include the Wii version.
@Angelic_Lapras_King mighty number nine has also delayed
@faint Even more ideal, I'm off on holiday to Mexico in October away, lol. XD
A shame but oh well, I got plenty to play until then. Hope it'll be worth the wait.
Until then I guess I should buy the world's greatest hoodie! (I swear that is the one thing that CONSTANTLY comes up on the Sponsored Links here)
For the PAL version the NISA Europe website names October, 16th as release date.

We'll see what comes.
Sucks that it gets delayed AGAIN, but maybe then I could use my money on Super Mario Maker in September as opposed to Rodea. I suppose it all works out better in the end.
Is mighty no 9 delayed to 2016 also?
I'm more surprised when something isn't delayed these days. Someone should make a game called Delay just so we can have the headline "DELAY, delayed".
Being in Australia I worry the WiiU version won't come with the wii copy. I have the WiiU version preordered but do you think the 3DS version is worth picking up too?
Works for me...October was getting really crowded for me. granted....November is more expensive with less games (Fallout 4 CE plus new GPU...cuz mods must melt my tv)
With Disgaea 5, DQ Heroes, Tales of Zestiria, and Yoshi coming out in October this game has very little priority for me and I question if it's worth buying since it will likely just end up in my backlog indefinitely. It's a shame they can't make September anymore, because this game just won't do well going up against the stuff coming out in October and Holiday season. Seems doomed to poor sales D:. At best the game will be another example of "Amazing game that sold poorly" otherwise known as "Platinumitis" or more colloquially as "the Kamiya infection".
I forgot this was coming out this year
With how long we've waited for this, a month or two more doesn't hurt.
I was going to preorder the special edition from the publisher until I read their awful preorder policy. Will wait until nearer the time now.
@drkdtvngr It is a weird policy, but at least they do refund your money. Although, it defeats the whole purpose of pre-order, imo.
