Rodea The Sky Soldier

Another feature unique to the Wii U and 3DS versions is the usage of a fuel system, which limits the length of Rodea's flight time and forces the player to land when the fuel bar runs out. Although Rodea pleads with Cecilia to give him the order to allow him to protect her, she sadly decides to teleport him away in order to enact her plan to protect the Key of Time, Garuda and Rodea himself. Upon coming back online, Rodea behaves in an emotionless manner while failing to recall what transpired in the last 1000 years. Rodea the Sky Soldier started with an allusion by Yuji Naka in 2010, where he described "a very original action game based in the sky." After some development CVG praised the game's early build, drawing comparisons to the game with other games developed by Naka, such as Nights into Dreams... While stating that the Wii version "does not quite reach Super Mario Galaxy levels of visual fidelity", he praised the Wii version for not having "ugly visuals, unyielding frame-rate and a nightmarish control scheme that do not do Yuji Naka's project justice", in reference to the Wii U and 3DS versions. Famitsu gave the Wii U and 3DS versions each a score of 30/40.Destructoid's Chris Carter rated the Wii U version a 7/10, stating the game "really hits that sweet spot when it comes to evoking the wonder of flight, but the troubled developmental process is tangible in the final build.
