NIS America has delayed Rodea the Sky Soldier once again. The game, originally planned for September before being delayed to mid-October, will now launch for Wii U and 3DS on November 10 in North America and November 13 in Europe. 

The company cites “ongoing technical difficulties” for the delay and is pushing back the release “in order to give players the best experience possible.”

The launch edition of the 3DS version will include a limited soundtrack in a collectible box, while first-print copies of the Wii U version will also come packaged with the original Wii version of the game and a reversible cover.

Find a rundown of the game below.

About

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.

Key Features

Wonder what technical difficulties there could be.

In other news, NISA seem to be really struggling this year. Their output is already notably down since last year, but they've taken up even more European publishing. I hope they're not thinking of cutting back on their gaming localization work and shifting more towards anime/European distribution.



this game might not sell well, no marketing hype plus a lot push backs. not sure if NIS even showed it in E3 or gamescom.



This is disappointing. I was kinda looking forward to this game, but oh well, another month isn't too bad. I just hope that because of these delays, the game is bug free at launch.

They are making it better due to all the delays like adding options in such as dual audio

Even with these delays, I have to wonder if it's possible for the game to perform worse outside of Japan than it has in Japan. I mean, Japanese sales of the game have been abysmal. Bad bad bad, crash and burn bad.



 

Well at least it's not a bad delay, only one more month...



Nah, its already out and its pretty good. Its called Gravity Rush. You can play it on Vita.



This went from pre-order to cancelled. My backlog is going to be too big in November for me to justify the purchase. I'll get it when it hits the discount bin.

This delay is going to kill sales.
