Wow the first two pilotwings were awesome. Especially the snes game. I played that one non-stop.

Nintendo really should release Pilotwings 3 for Revolution. Or make it a NDS game.

Yes I know that there was a rumor that Factor 5 is making pilotwings, but I think it was BS.

This brings up a good question....How many games total has Nintendo internally developed this generation? All their games total (spanning all systems)

Just search for my and Meier's system LTDs, and subtract any that aren't (FFCC, FFTA, Donkey Konga).

 

[DSN2K]

great game, I could just spend hours flying around..

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Was it not a rumored Revolution game being done by Factor 5... ages ago?

 

[ToyMachine228]

[GaimeGuy]

Jarrod can I squish you?

 

[Mainline]

The Pilotwings games on snes/n64 were some of my faves, I hope they release a new one sometime soon too.

 

[Scalemail Ted]

Yay....Hooray for Jarrod.

Thanks

 

[jarrod]

Jarrod can I squish you?

Depends on where.

 

[cvxfreak]

:lol

 

[Sinatar]

God I hope factor 5 isn't working on it. I made the mistake of buying one of the GCN rogue leader games (I think its the 3rd one), god what a bloody awful POS game. Yuck.

 

[puck1337]

Pilotwings only really makes sense if the console can do things graphically that the others can't.

 

[TheGreenGiant]

eh.. I was going to say.. what about Factor Five's title - I really don't care too much about PW as a title - too relaxing I guess. I think the hokiness works when you were like 10-12.

So offtopic...

but what is F5 doing now? And what is SK doing?
xenon titles?

 

[olimario]

I really don't want to see Pilotwings if Factor 5 isn't handling the engine.
I want to see their engine in the game, but I don't want them touching gameplay.

 

[xexex]

I want Pilotwings on Gamecube or Revolution, or both.

 

[jarrod]

So offtopic...

but what is F5 doing now? And what is SK doing?

A PSP game and next gen R&D. Contrary to whatever IGN insists, they aren't making Xbox games.

 

[Do The Mario]

No chance of a new pilot wings game until there are several remakes of the last two!

 

[Shiggy]

Nintendo Finnland said, it will come to the GCN, but after I asked them, they said, they have to refurbish it.

 

[jarrod]

List updated... I'm a little amazed that Suzak was "allowed" to make a PS2 game. Maybe because it's EyeToy based?

 

[doncale]

Pilotwings Revolution (tm) should have a western developer handle the graphics. maybe even a western flight simulator developer rather than a game developer (like Paradigm Simulations who was not a game developer before PW64 unless i'm mistaken)

and of course, EAD should handle the gameplay. as they did with the original Super Famicom game. or if it wasnt EAD, one of Nintendo's internal teams.

 

[Great King Bowser]

I've never played, nor seen a piltotwings game in action.

Someone describe the premise to me.

 

[Enigma]

Pilotwings only really makes sense if the console can do things graphically that the others can't.

I don't care what the graphics look like, if Revolution uses gyration, it's a must launch title. Flight games would benefit as much as anything from this.

 

[doncale]

Pilotwings only really makes sense if the console can do things graphically that the others can't.

while it doesn't HAVE to be that way, I tend to agree since SFC and N64 could do things that other consoles couldn't do at the time of their release.

 

[Vlad]

I've never played, nor seen a piltotwings game in action.

Someone describe the premise to me.

Basically a sort of flight sim. The first one had you doing various tests with a biplane, jetpack, hangglider and skydiving. You were doing some fairly mundane stuff like flying through rings and landing, but it took a good amount of practice to do the stuff accurately and quickly. There were some other little side games involving stuff like diving off a high-dive in a penguin suit and flying around in a helicopter shooting at stuff, but the bulk of the game was the more "realistic" flying tests.

The N64 version was more or less the same idea, but the different tasks were more outrageous. There were wacky things like these jump boots that you used to get from one point to another on an island, and instead of a regular byplane, there was a "gyrocopter" which shot missiles that you had to fly around.

A lot of the fun was, as others said, just flying around and looking at the sights.

You bumped a 5 month old thread for that?

 

[doncale]

You bumped a 5 month old thread for that?

who cares if it was even 8 months old. I don't see enough talk about Pilotwings on GAF.
Pilotwings Revolution will hopefully be an important launch game. I bumped this thread rather than make a new one.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

The closest thing to this now would be Sky Odyssey, a criminally forgotten game. I'd love to see either one come again with beautiful graphic styles.

 

[missAran]

Rest assured, before Nintendo falls (if it ever does), every single franchise it owns will be exploited.

 

[aoi tsuki]

Nintendo, Nintendo, Nintendo.

Release another Pilotwings, Nintendo!
Stop milking franchises, Nintendo!
Make games that make me feel like a real man, Nintendo!
You're doomed, Nintendo!

 

[Deg]

Nintendo, Nintendo, Nintendo.

Release another Pilotwings, Nintendo!
Stop milking franchises, Nintendo!
Make games that make me feel like a real man, Nintendo!
You're doomed, Nintendo!

Another one:

Nintendo please make a game that will be doomed!

:lol

 

[God's Hand]

Paradigm did start work on a Pilotwings 64 2, showed their ideas to Nintendo, but it never got off the ground. The Factor 5 Pilotwings had the same problems.

 

[imastalker co.]

EVERYONE CHILL OUT AND RELAX.

good things come to those who wait. remember guys, IRD is getting back into game development, and that's all that matters right now. let's just take it one step at a time.

 

[Cold-Steel]

If Revolution changes the control method then I see no reason why Pilotwings shouldn't be a launch game.

What better way to demonstrate a new method of play? This franchise has REVOLUTION all over it.

 

[Ironclad]

As much as I would love a new Pilot Wings game, I want a new Kid Icarus even more. Chances are I will see a new Ice Climbers game before I see a new Kid Icarus.

 

[Screenboy]

What. A. Boxart.
