Yuji Naka wants his game published.

The creator of Sonic the Hedgehog has just completed developing his new game, Rodea the Sky Soldier, with Silconera for the Wii and 3Ds. His problem? Naka is waiting for the publisher Kadokawa games to announce a release date for his title.


“Rodea the Sky Soldier has been finished for awhile now. My part at Prope has been done. Now it’s up to Kadokawa Games to decide on the release strategy whether it will be come out for North America, Europe, and Japan.”

"It’s finished as Wii title and as of now we have no plans to bring it to Wii U. Rodea was made specifically for the Wii so players could enjoy it by flicking the remote. If we tried to incorporate those controls into the large Wii U controller it wouldn’t be the same. I would really like for people to play and enjoy it on the Wii as I had originally intended.”

Sounds like Yuji wants to get this get out overseas but if the publisher has yet to tell him, this could mean trouble.


His new game will feature fast paced flying action that requires quick reflexes to avoid attacks, and collect power ups. Haven't heard much about since it's been on the down-low. But it should be promising.
