Rodea: The Sky Soldier, 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.

Problems

Character Dialog desync

The game occasionally desynchronizes the character voice acting and the dialogue text.

Emulation Information

Language Region Mismatch

The Wii language setting must match an acceptable language for the region of this title being played: Japanese for SB4J; Korean for SB4K; English, Spanish or French for SB4E; English, French, German, Italian, or Spanish for SB4P; and Traditional Chinese for SB4W. Due to region checking built into the game, if an unacceptable language is set emulation hangs.
