Looks like Japanese companies have registered lots of trademarks recently. Siliconera got a list :

Bandai-Namco

Galaga Defense
Galaga Bandits
Galaga Wars

(probably some mobile games)

Kadokawa Games

God Wars Frontier
Rodea : The Sky Soldier (renewed)
The Last Child

Marvelous AQL

Dungeon Fever.

So... Rodea the Sky Soldier isn't dead?

Please trademark me and lock if old.

RODEA LIVES!

djplaeskool · May 20, 2014

Wow.

Edit:
Rodea was near complete last year. In some strange release limbo.

mikefizzled · May 20, 2014

Don't think any of these are the beloved studio that Microsoft has working on an exclusive. Could be wrong though.

Shizzlee · May 20, 2014

When's Rodea? I'm getting tired of waiting.

kuroneko0509 · May 20, 2014

And I thought Kadokawa already forgot about Rodea. Guess I'm wrong.

GhostTrick · May 20, 2014

I wouldn't be surprised if Rodea has been moved from Wii to another platform. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if it moved from Wii to Wii U to another platform.

Rodea : The Sky Soldier is basically's Kadokawa Games' very own The Last Guardian

last story sequel?

AcademicSaucer · May 20, 2014

Free Rodea mofos, how many years has its been since it was announced ?

Faustek · May 20, 2014

No Beast's Soul yet

But funny that Rodea might still be alive.

No, it's a new game based around Aerosmith.

Rodea : The Sky Soldier (renewed)

I guess Wii version is gone though, luckily I got a 3ds in the meantime

sixteen-bit · May 20, 2014

Yeah, I doubt it'll make Wii

Asd202 · May 20, 2014

WTF is Rodea?

Tripon · May 20, 2014

More like Rodea is still stillborn.

This.

I believe there's also some gameplay videos on YouTube... though they're probably outdated.

this by Naka

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodea_the_Sky_Soldier

we saw also a Wii video of the game, but then they dropped that version and completed the 3DS one.
I'd like to see this resurrected.
being on Wii U would be just a dream I know, but at least a 3Ds version would be good

DJIzana · May 20, 2014

Bet you those Galaga games are being made in their new studio, here, in Vancouver.

Anyways... nothing really interesting for me here. =/

Vylash · May 20, 2014

Really hope it ends up on Wii U somehow

Mr-Joker · May 20, 2014

I just want to play Rodea: The Sky Soldier, don't know why Kadokawa Games is just sitting on it when the game is complete.

CrimsonFist · May 20, 2014

Oh yeah, I'd almost forgotten about Rodea, I hope the 3DS version at least gets a release and localisation, it was looking decent.

It was fully complete way back in 2011 on Wii according to Prope. We don't know about the 3DS version since it was being ported by a different developer.

Given their relationship with Prope and the game's status as a spiritual successor to Nights I think Rodea would be a good candidate for Nintendo to pick up themselves for a Wii U upgrade.

rjc571 · May 20, 2014

Will buy if it's on Wii, or Wii U with Wiimote support.

Ahh. Evidently, Kadokawa commented that the 3DS version was nearing completion last summer, but then went silent after that.

Wow, forgot about the Shadow of the Colossus clone elements in this game :/

Huh? I thought the game was still in an alpha state back then. Unless I'm mistaken?

one of the two versions was declared almost completed a couple of years ago, but without any firm deal to be published. don't remember which one..

It was the Wii original which Prope developed and it was fully complete. They weren't handling the 3DS port.

That was the Wii version. Yuji Naka (I believe) said the game was 100% complete, and they were still waiting for Kadokawa to... well... do something.

70% complete, with the Wii version finished.

"more information will arrive in the near future." haha.

Looks like Kadokawa Time is even more frightening than the infamous VALVe time
