Here’s that Rodea the Sky Soldier trailer you wanted

I wont let myself get truly excited for a game until I see it in action. Even though Rodea the Sky Soldier looks good in screenshots, and it comes from one of the few developers who has never made a game I didn’t like, I still found myself thinking “Is this game going to let me down?”

Now that I’ve seen this trailer, my mind is at ease. Don’t get me wrong, it’s far from perfect. The cut scenes are definitely low budget, and I’m still having a hard time wrapping my head around the controls, but that’s all OK, because I know I’m still going to love this game. For a die-hard fan of the classic Sonic and NiGHTS titles, this trailer feels like coming home.

Now I just need to decide if I’m buying the game on the Wii or the 3DS…
