Although recently being delayed, Rodea The Sky Soldier is now available to pre-order on Nintendo's UK Store for both the 3DS and the Wii U version, the latter of which comes bundled with a Wii copy of the game as well.
Strangely the only version that's available for each console is the limited edition that comes with a key-shaped pendant and an official soundtrack amongst other charming bonuses. It's not clear whether or not the game alone will become available for pre-order in the future or not, but here's hoping. We've got enough nondescript merchandise in the office already.
Are you hoping to pick this up or are you simply not within Nintendo UK's delivery range? Let us know by cobbling some words together in the comments section.

I have just recently pre-ordered two copies of the Nintendo Wii U Version and Nintendo 3DS version of this awesome game.
Not sure whether to get this on 3DS or on Wii U...
Well this is a surprise, being published by NIS America I thought their store would have exclusive rights, unless Nintendo has gotten in on the publishing.
I believe the limited edition was avalible on the publisher's site as well but they took payment right away. This is much more welcomed as I can pay for it when it's dispatched.
Annnnnnnd ordered.
@Rhydas As far as I'm aware, the Wii U version's extra Wii Version disc is limited to the first print run of the game, so that's probably the version to pick since I'm sure the Wii disc version will probably be a sought after collectible in the future for both Wii U and Wii game collectors.
I'll gladly wait for a review. Didn't this bomb in Japan? If it's god then i cant ignore it though.
@Angelic_Lapras_King I should be able to get two of the Nintendo Wii game disc versions then.
I played the Japanese demo...was pretty crappy...
@Angelic_Lapras_King Ah, thanks for the heads up! I didn't actually think about that. And I suppose if I really wanted to, I could give the Wii version a try too - if selling it in the future never becomes a thought.
Not to mention nothing says I can't get the Wii U version first, and if I like it enough, buy the 3DS version later~
@manu0 Really? The review made it out to be pretty solid. What's your take on the demo specifically?
Also, don't forget a demo is a demo and more often than not doesn't equate to the final game. So I think it's worth keeping that in mind.
@Rhydas I didn't play it for very long. Terrible frame rate paired with terrible graphics (extremely low res textures) and the guy was hard to control.
Looks interesting, but gonna wait for a review. Besides, I have other priorities such as Xenoblade Chronicles X and Yoshis Wooly World.
Asked NIS America to cancel my pre-order of he Wii U ltd bundle. I really hope the normal 3ds version comes up otherwise amazon it is. I just don't need two special editions really. Unless i just sell the spares but that's a last resort.
For anyone in the EU outside the UK, you can pre-order the SE on the NIS European Store: http://store.nisaeurope.com/
I had this pre-ordered on Amazon UK ages ago but am really not sure if it's something I'll actually go threw with and get. There's something about it which isn't clicking with me.
On the other hand, if Nintendo UK restocks Project Zero I'll buy that!
I watched a vid of this for the WiiU a few weeks back. I lost interest pretty quickly must say.
I'll keep an eye out for the 3ds version, maybe.
The Nintendo Wii U version of Rodea the Sky Soldier Limited Edition has now seemingly sold out.
@readyletsgo The Nintendo 3DS Limited Edition is already available to pre-order.

@TulipWaltz £60!? I'm not going to pay €85 for this game, even if it's a limited edition.
So I'm confused now... is the special edition with the key and soundtrack the ONLY version to come with the Wii game bundled? I've pre-ordered from Amazon (the regular version, without the extras) and although it doesn't implicitly state the Wii disc is included, I was under the impression it WOULD be as a first print copy. Can anyone clarify?
@ottospooky Yeah, all first print copies, limited or otherwise, will come with the original Wii game and a reversible cover sleeve, which NIS America has been quick to state every single time this question has come up on their official Twitter feed.
I've had the non-limited version of this game on Wii U pre-ordered for a while now, but the appearance of this game on the Nintendo store is tempting me to pick up the Limited Edition of the 3DS game, considering I did the same for Persona Q's limited edition. I don't really care for NIS America's actual storefront, so it's nice to see their limited editions turn up elsewhere.
I ordered with NISA Europe and I'm keeping my order there. Now, the real question is if I dare to spend £9 quid more and order Devil's Third from the Nintendo Store for that Ivan t-shirt. Currently got it pre-ordered for £30.99 from base.com.
The problem I have with this game is I'm only interested in the original Wii version and not the 3DS version or the Wii U port of it.
@FX102A Persona Q LE was also available on the Nintendo UK store.
There's lots of other games I want coming up so maybe in 2016. Come on Mega Man Legacy Collection!
@EllenJMiller I know what you mean. Other than gameseek I've only seen the game on preorder for around the £39.99 mark so canceled my preorder with shopto and went with the Nintendo store for the shirt. But now I'm starting to wonder whether I should cancel that and go for the cheaper option at either gameseek or base.com as you mentioned. Do I really want that t-shirt?
@tudsworth
Thanks for the clarification. It's what I thought but you cleared that up for me. Phew!
@ottospooky Pros: Great shirt to go to the beach in.
Cons: IVAN!
Preordered Since Feb here in America on Amazon. Can't wait. I'm sure this will be an amusing game, and the novelty of a new Wii game is far too much to skip.
Looks like a poor game that might end up being a sought after collector's item years from now. The idea of getting a Wii disc copy is unique, the reversible cover is neat, everything about this package looks like a premium product, except for the game itself...
@greengecko007 So it was a wise idea for me to preorder two copies of each?
Q) Are you hoping to pick this up or are you simply not within Nintendo UK's delivery range?
A) I am hoping to pick this game up, but due to concerns that other stores and sites were not going to include the first print extra of getting the original Wii version of the game along with the Wii U version, I pre-ordered from NIS Europe earlier on. This game has me quite excited, in fact, I'd say it 's my most anticipated Wii U game coming out this year (specifying this because the Wii U game I'm most hyped for currently is Genei Ibunroku #FE); which is kinda funny considering that I want Rodea The Sky Soldier moreso for the Wii version than the Wii U version.
That said, I'll probably end up trying out the Wii U version first, simply because of Miiverse.
