YMMV / Rodea the Sky Soldier

• Awesome Music: True to the game's arcade influence, the soundtrack is composed by Takayuki Nakamura of Virtua Fighter fame.
• Cargo Ship: Wherever you ship Cecilia or Ion with Rodea does it end up like this as he's a robot.
• Porting Disaster: The 3DS and Wii U versions (the latter strangely being a port of the former, rather than the Wii version). In addition to washed out colors, the game mechanics were changed for seemingly no reason: instead of taking a Mario-like approach to damage where you lose powerups as you get hit, you get a standard health meter, powerups become permanent inventory items, you have a limited flight meter (whereas in the Wii version you can go through an entire level without touching the ground if skilled enough), and the controls are just awkward overall. Yuji Naka even asked people to "please play the Wii version" on Twitter, which comes as a bonus with all copies of the Wii U version.
