Story:A thousand 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 a thousand 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.Show more

Rodea the Sky Soldier is the best Wii game of 2011 that no one played, because it only released as a bonus in 2015. Flying around the game (by aiming where you want to go and flinging Rodea towards it), is fun and feels great. Since this game is made by a group of ex-Sonic Team members (the developer Prope started with a dozen Sonic Team members from the mid-2000s), there are a lot of Sonic mechanics in this that still feel fresh with this new gameplay style take on it. You can do light speed dash through the main collectibles, the whole game is about using homing attacks as Rodea, there are item boxes, you get rewards for doing a lot of combos, there are power-ups that give Rodea the light speed attack from SA1/SA2, a gun to shoot enemies from afar and a spindash to roll up slopes and into the sky! The characters are so cute and charming! Without going into it too much, the story is like a mishmash of E-102 Gamma and Shadow the Hedgehog from Sonic Adventure 1 and 2. The Japanese voice acting is great! This game is just wonderful. If only this game would've come out in 2011, then there would be a lot more eyes on it today... Maybe it could get a second chance as a PC game with a GOG release.
(This game already plays fine in an emulator with a mouse and keyboard, I'd be okay with a PC port of the Wii game. But gyro controls for controllers that do support it would be great too. Please make sure to credit the staff behind this version, because they didn't get credited properly for the initial Wii release.)
Congrats whoever added the game to the vote-able list, you made me create a gog account
It's for the greater good though. This game deserved so much better.
Granted the controls feel... kinda weird on real hardware, and it has some teeny tiny issues compared to its Wiiu/3DS counterpart, but if emulated with a mouse for a pointer as the other comment said (I mean, it said EVERYTHING), it is pure fun to me.
This is a long shot but we need a re-release, for real. Maybe add an option to switch between original Wii controls and ported Wii u controls, because those weren't that bad either for some people, but those versions as they are have many problems.
A rerelease means potentially fixing the unavoidable crashes, the lack of checkpoints on a certain boss, the english dub breaking cutscenes and that's just for the Wii version, as the others had major graphical differences that in my opinion made the game look worse but who knows, that could be a toggle as well????
It's so charming. Please give it a chance.

Well, if there are two people you know to call when it comes to times of crisis they would be Bugs Bunny and ... Taz?
