Forums - Nintendo - Rodea the Sky Soldier delayed again (November) due to "ongoing technical diffiulties"

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.

The game wasn't that big or known to begin with. The only sales it was going to get were from people that glanced at it and for some reason thought it was more interesting then current wii u games.

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.


I think they showed it off at E3, don't remember anything from Gamescom though.

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.

I think you're forgetting just how badly it did in Japan:

44./00. [WIU] Rodea the Sky Soldier (Kadokawa Games) {2015.04.02} - 2.725 / NEW

3DS version didn't chart.

Even if it were a megabomba for NISA (and I think it will be), it's going to outsell Japanese sales.  But I guess it depends what your definition of "perform worse" is :P

I think it's quite sad what's happening with this game.  It looks good.  But it doesn't seem to be attracting any Nintendo fans, and the NISA-faithful either don't own a WiiU or 3DS or just don't seem interested in it since it's not their usual kind of game.



This game doesn't look like it will do very well, especially with these delays..

Don't think there will be enough copies out there for it to reach the discount bin.... I can see this game becoming rare very quickly

Rare and in demand are two different things.  If the game fails as badly as it did in Japan, stores will be begging people to take their extra copies after awhile.

Except the development of this game began over 5 years ago.

Seriously, how much can you work on a game in just one month? Seems kinda pointless to me.



damn november is a harsh month for a small title like this

While I'm not a massive fan of another Rodea thread turning into a discussion about Gravity Rush (and I know you didn't start that!), I don't understand this comment.  Gravity Rush started development 7 years ago.

Is that a common thing?

I'm just saying that I'm fairly certain that Rodea's development isn't a ripoff of Gravity Rush. They're entirely separate.
