Rodea the Sky Soldier gets Sept. release date

Fans of Nights rejoice! From Developer Prope’s much delayed Rodea the Sky Soldier, finally gets a solid release date for the Wii U, Wii and Nintendo 3DS on September 22 in North America and September 25 in Europe.

NIS America also confirmed that the first batch copies of the Wii U game will come with the original Wii version of Rodea the Sky Soldier, so dust off that Wii!

This adventure/platformer comes from fan favorite creators Yuji Naka and Zin Hasegawa.

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.
