Product description

The brainchild of Yuji Naka and Zin Hasegawa, Rodeo the Sky Soldier brings speed and adventure together in this new journey through the sky. 1,000 years ago, Emperor Gerardo 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 Rodeo, a machine soldier who promised to protect Garuda, Emperor Gerardo'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 Rodeo. Stunned to find himself in the future, Rodeo 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, Rodeo takes to the skies to defend Garuda from the Naga Empire once again.

Received A First-Run Copy Still | 08-2019

Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2019

Verified Purchase

I ordered this in August of 2019 and was still able to receive a first-run copy, brand new. There is no guarantee you will receive one, but they are still out there. Why look for the first-run? For the little "Bonus Game" sticker on them. See, during this titles development it was originally going to be a Wii game. Then, the Wii U was coming out before the game was released, and the Wii version was turned into a 3DS title. The 3DS title was later ported to the Wii U. Why is any of this important? Well, the Wii version had copies manufactured already, so they put those into the first-run of the Wii U titles. So the fabled, lost Rodea build for the Wii can only be found by getting a first-run copy of the Wii U version. The Wii title is considered the definitive edition and scores in the 7-8/10 compared to the Wii U and 3DS versions 5-6/10. It also is the only version that includes motion controls.

Good game, not great

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2018

The seller was great, but the game is not the best. I think it would be most fun with a Wii remote plus, and I use the pad or general controller. It's a bit of an adjustment to move around the game.

The Wii Version is Fantastic

Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2015

Verified Purchase

The Wii version of Rodea the Sky Soldier is a fantastically fun game; it is a shame that almost no one is going to play it. The Wii U version is a port of the 3DS game, and I honestly can't recommend it. However, the original Wii version is a project by Yuji Naka, creator of Sonic the Hedgehog and one-time head of the Sonic Team. Naka-san was frequently mentioned in the same breathe as Shigeru Miyamoto way back in the nineties. He was kind of a big deal. I am a huge fan of his previous work: Nights into Dreams, Burning Rangers, and Sonic Adventure. I grew up a Sega kid so I couldn't let this one slip by without a play through; i don't believe you should either. Is this objectively the best game I have ever played? No, it isn't. The story is cheesy, the graphics are sub par and mastering the motion controls takes some practice. However, if you are like me and grew up with a Genesis, Saturn, or especially Dreamcast, this game should strike a real chord of nostalgia. This game feels like it is ten years late, it looks like it could/ should have been a Dreamcast game, but this is exactly why I find it charming. If you gave Sonic a jetpack, this is how I imagine the result would be. If you can get over a few minor issues, there is a a lot to love here.

Grab it while you still can!

Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2015

Yes, I'm going to hop on board too by saying the Wii version is what you should play, and since buying this during its first print run is the only way how, I could only express my cravings for the genuine game here. Before I get to talking about the game itself, however, I would like to mention the troubled history behind this; remember how Rayman Legends got delayed by several months (and onto the same month as GTA 5 no less) even though it was completed? Yeah....That game had it easy compared to this! That game was at least virtually the same on all consoles and didn't have to wait around FOUR YEARS! Unless Prope can fight it and put their Wii game onto the eShop, the only way this version of Rodea the Sky Soldier can be played is buy purchasing this during its first print run (or the lucky eBay purchase when the time comes) as it takes the backseat to Kadokawa's inferior takes on the title. Since I've given the Wii U version to my little brother instead of played it, I won't be discussing it, but after seeing comparison footage, something tells me not much of what I will say here will apply to it.

That said, Rodea the Sky Soldier is the long-awaited Wii brainchild of Yuji Naka and his "indie" development team, Prope (before they got shafted to the side for the Wii U/3DS versions anyway). Seeing a Wii game be released in late 2015 is pretty surreal enough, but seeing that it's also pretty darn good makes it all the better to see that the Wii will be finishing off strongly.

If there's one word I could describe this game as, it's "imaginative". Holy CRAP, the floating worlds are some of the most beautiful things I've seen on Wii since Nintendo's own Super Mario Galaxy planetoids! The fact that the framerate could mostly wind up being a smooth 60fps (although it's not without certain framerate bumps in certain places) makes swiftly flying across the sky and aerial combat even more exhilarating! Not to mention, for a game whose controls only focus around pointing and clicking with the Wii Remote, Prope sure knows how to produce a quality action title with an almost arcade-like feel to it! The whole thing as a result tends to feel like a Dreamcast-era game - kind of a savory combination of Nights and Sonic Adventure.

The game may have a linear structure to it in terms of progression (though of course there's plenty to explore in the levels themselves), but Rodea still tells a story throughout in a similar fashion to games like Kid Icarus Uprising, in which there will be "cutscenes", actual cutscenes, and spoken dialogue during gameplay. While the story itself is interesting enough, and even has some lighthearted humor, the voice acting........is pretty clunky, to put it nicely.

Another thing that could've been improved is the camera - While the point-and-click formula works finely enough, there are a few instances where I feel like the Wii Remote is doing more than it could handle, since I also had to use it to turn the camera around for a better view. This won't happen too often, and it's not a dealbreaker despite how it sounds, but I do wish I was able to use the Nunchuck to turn the camera with its analog stick.

Voice acting and slight camera issues aside, I simply adore this game! Kadokawa and NIS better make sure my $60 go to Prope, because this Wii Rodea the Sky Soldier is why I bought this, and they deserve it for their work on the quality pseudo-Sega experience it provides. It's a real shame that it's doomed to become a rare hidden gem (unless they all make the wise choice to put it on the Wii U eShop). I know I for one will hold onto my copy. Thank you, Mr. Naka and Co.

personajes carismáticos, buena historia, controles decentes y funcionales (solo se juega con wiimote) cámara algo torpe, el estilo de juego es como Nights(es del mismo creador ) , esto hablando de la versión de WII que vienen dentro del empaque , por que la versión para WII U es una vil por queria, es verdad que se ve mucho mejor y a una resolución mayor, pero los estúpidos controles adaptados al gamepad/son un horror, y lo peor es que no tiene opción de jugarlo con el wiimote que es como se juega el original de WII,, no lo entiendo , sinceramente no lo entiendo, en fin, si lo compran piensen que el de wii U no existe y el primer disco que deben poner al abrir la caja es de de WII , ese es el bueno.

Éste va a ser uno de esos juegos que se convierten en gemas sin descubrir de las consolas, el juego tiene detalles de gráficos y control al correr en Wii U, pero al jugar la versión de Wii, te das cuenta de lo intuitivo y divertido que es, la historia en sí es algo trillada, pero no deja de ser interesante, en cuanto al envío el producto llegó en excelentes condiciones desde amazon.
