So how hard is it actually to get platinum ranks in this game? That's actually all that matters to me. If it's hard enough, it's enough reason for me to buy it.

Many smaller Nintendo titles drop in price, though obviously it's retailer dependent and not an official price drop. Metroid Other M being the biggest, but also there was Zelda Spirit Tracks.
I could see this and Steel Diver price dropping.

Oh Gawd. Are you serious? Ch... I'm not paying $40 for Politewings. Nintendo, do you think I shit money? It's okay to sell games at that price, but you gotta give me content...

This and Steel Diver at launch. I've been wanting a new Pilotwings for over 10 years! It's about damn time Nintendo!

sigh. Pilotwings 64 is one of my favorite games of all time. This just sounds a like cheap cash-in. :/
Ill pick it up but only because I'm a huge fan of the series and want to give it support. It really is a shame Nintendo took the easy way out and gave us Wuhu island again.
That is very unlike Nintendo. I mean weren't ALL previous PW games launch games? Yet they were content full games, like most of Nintendo's games, launch or not. So it strikes me as unbelievable that they would leave out Content like varied environment to explore
To go from PW64 to PW Resort is a HUGE step backwards for a franchise.

Well, we really don't know. Third parties did it for Wii, but only for small things like songs and such. The 3DS is a whole new system that comes with a 2GB one out of the box, so we might see it happening. It's just that if you judge by Nintendo's history, it will be rare.

Are you suggesting that Pilotwings is going to bomb as hard as Other M? I just don't see that happening.StevePharma said:

they could have at least added the option to use Pilotwings characters instead of Mii characters :'(
still, played it yesterday at best buy and the music and gameplay was classic pilotwings, can't wait to get it.

I would say fairly easy from the few hours I've played so far. Some of them you do in your first run.

Taxes?! Isn't this the line for Metallica?
I am disappointed by how long this game is. I really don't want to buy it at full price for a few hours of gameplay.

free flight with time limit? WHY... WHY... WHY...
its like an artificial way of making it hard to find the collectibles because the world is small and it would be easy without it?

Resort may have fewer locations, but it has more missions than 64.Bizzyb said:
I'm a huge Pilotwings fan. After playing the 3DS demo, I'm definitely skipping the 3DS version. It's not just the amount of content that is bothering me, though.
For one, the controls felt a little off to me. They're simple enough, and maybe I just have high expectations given the series' history, but I thought they could be better. This does not feel like a Nintendo game. Maybe of their "lesser" teams made it?
Second, the whole Mii thing is a huge turn-off. Yes, it was a neato idea on Wii. It ran its course, though, and Nintendo is unable to let it go. We don't need five years of that shit.
And that's on top of all the content issues.

But each mission is about 3-4 minutes at the most.

I've only played about half of 64 quite recently, but those missions were about the same. Can't comment on Resort, I only know it has 40 missions in comparison to around 30 in 64.Vinterbird said:

agreed, it sounds like a pretty lazy effort, but the nostalgia vibe is strong. Remember gazing through a window in awe at pilotwings on the SNES. Mode 7.....just.....drool..
'just' a port of the 64 version with refreshed assets would have been fine - it has a lot of variety and content.
virtual console isn't doing N64 games on 3DS is it? Just wii.. might need to look up an N64 emulator
It tried it out this weekend at Nintendo World in NYC.
It is exactly what I wanted it to be and definitely the best 3D showcase among the games I played.
I'm sure I will get addicted to this. Very fun. I've played through the first game many times and at various different points in my life. I actually only won it for the first time in somewhere around 2004.
I also really enjoyed the flying mode in Wii sports resort. Maybe 10 hours or so. I just loved it. Having said that, I never really enjoyed the motion controls for flight. For me, it's worth buying this just to re-experience flying around Wuhu island with analog control.

I'm a bit surprised at all the hate for Nintendo's decision to only include one location.
At no point playing through Wii Sports Resort did I every become bored with the location. I definitely enjoyed the environment more as I became more familiar with the Island.
Have ya'll read Miyamoto's explanation of the "Island Concept"?

I think that segment should be in the opening post of this thread.

It just occurred to me that a lot of the music from the 64 version sounds like its from a porno.

Thanks, added to OP.Naked Snake said:
I forgot about that practice mode, added to OP. Hopefully it's available to all vehicles. One downside that you did mention is that prompt that keeps coming up, but what can you do.EvilMario said:
No it's got to be a different game completely. Factor 5 definitely was working on a Pilotwings game though I'm pretty sure, there was some art and 3D models that came out after they went under.FullMetal said:
And yes I am bummed about the timed free flight mode and having only one island to explore, but beggars can't be choosers. It's been 15 years since the last Pilotwings game and no one else makes anything that even comes close.

Thinking about cancelling my order for this and going with SSFIV3DE. Static backgrounds bother me a lot less than zero replay value.
Edit: And I hate to come into a thread for a game and crap it up with "cancelling my preorder lulz yall have fun!", but I was really excited about this game the most. I'm very let down by the supposed lack of content.

After following the reviews for this I am really doubting my preorder on this....40$ for (ill be generous for the reviews I got) 5 hour gameplay and 1 location. I already got SSF4 ordered but I don't own that for any console so I know ill get my money worth out of that.Lego has meh reviews but if I go by content and personal experience off all the past titles I'll get my dimes worth out of that. This I just dont know.
