The original concept for the game was conceived way back in 2010 by Yuji Naka, lead programmer and eventually producer on many Sonic the Hedgehog titles.

About The Game
1,000 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 1,000 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.
Key Features:
- Touch the Sky – Complete each mission by traversing the aerial kingdom of Garuda while solving puzzles and demolishing enemies! Upgrade your flight capabilities and take full control of the air to discover secrets of the past and hints of the future.
- Delightful Tinkering – Explore each level and shatter enemies to collect Gears and Gravitons which Ion can use in her workshop to upgrade Rodea with new abilities and weapons, from upgrading his stats (such as health, attack damage, and speed) to powerful weapons.
- Colossal Battles – Engage in battles on an epic scale as you combat the massive automatons of the Naga army. Dodge and weave in acrobatic combat as you evade the behemoths' attacks and locate their weaknesses.
- Endless Hours of Fun – Replay your favorite levels to better your time and uncover numerous hidden objectives and items. Upgrade your functions to set new speed records and increase your score.

the trailer looks really good and on the 3ds it'll be awesome.
Interesting, to say the least.
not my cup of tea but i still hope this will be a great game and the people who buy it have lots of fun
you can really tell its made by one of the creators of sonic, very similar to the new sonic games
that is wii gameplay
When I saw the gun, my first thought was Sin and Punishment, and having that for the 3DS will be pro .
@4 yes, you really can tell that it is made from the creators of sonic when it says so on the top of the page...-.-
I'm still waiting...
Is this game in Limbo or what?
Really hope it gets an actual release date soon, or shows at least some sort of signs of life.
Kadogawa Games trademarked Rodea in May so it should still be alive in some form.

The game is finally getting released in April in Japan. I really hope Kadogawa Games will release it also in Europe & North America.
The price is a bit insane in Japan, especially for the Wii U version.
Yes!
