Looks like we're already getting some Famitsu leaks, and there's a nice surprise in this week's issue... Rodea : The Sky Soldier is apparently coming out next spring in Japan. It is indeed coming out on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS.

No further details for now, though a first scan is arleady floating around (scans are not allowed here, so I won't post it).
Some details from Famitsu:
The action game begins on the floating continent of Garuda, in the ruins of which a curious girl named Ion discovers and reactivates Rodea, the legendary “Majin” machine soldier, after a 1,000 year slumber. Rodea lost his memory and is found with his right arm completely destroyed. All that remains of his memory is a “fierce battle from the past” and “a girl with facial features similar to Ion.” He and Ion join forces to fight against the machine empire of Naga, who are approaching Garuda with the aim to capture the continent’s “Gravity Energy.

Some notes:
-The Japanese name has changed from Tenku-no-kishi Rodea (天空の機士ロデア to Rodea The Sky Soldier (ロデア・ザ・スカイソルジャー. Meaning in English is the same, they've just gone with a katakana title.
-3DS version is 5,800 yen (pre-tax), and Wii U is 7,200 yen (pre tax).
-First print of the Wii U version will apparently come with the bonus of the Wii version (but non of the blogs I've checked seem to know exactly what this means).
-Bosses are huge, many hundreds times the size of Rodea himself.
-The three characters here are all pictured/mentioned.
The game is currently 85% complete according to the Famitsu article. There's definitely be some sort of staff reshuffle though. Previously the game was only being produced by Kadokawa Games with Zin Hasegawa serving as producer, and Yuji Naka as the director/lead game designer. But now it seems Kadokawa Games is co-developing the game as well, with Yoshimi Yasuda serving as producer, and Zin Hasegawa as director.
