NF Magazine rated the Wii version an 8/10 and stated strong support for it over the Wii U and 3DS versions by saying that people interested in the game should "Buy Rodea the Sky Soldier for Wii U, toss the Wii U disc into a nearby sewage canal, pop the Wii disc into your machine and let 'er spin!". Vandal Online's Jorge Cano rated the Wii version a 7.5/10 and said that "even though it feels a little bit outdated, it still is interesting and fun for those who know the game they're buying" while also reiterating support for the Wii version by saying it "clearly is the 'good one'."
