Rodea the Sky Soldier’s Wii version to be packed in with Wii U

We’ve known for awhile now that the Wii Wii version of Rodea the Sky Soldier will come packaged with the first run of the Wii U in Japan, but we haven’t heard if that would be the same when the game releases in the West in fall 2015.

However, the game’s publisher, NIS America, announced last week that the first run of physical copies of Rodea will in fact come with the Wii version bundled with the Wii U game.

Rodea: The Sky Soldier is being developed by Kadokawa Games and Prope, and will be released in Japan on April 2.

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.
