The latest issue of EGM has confirmed that Nintendo is indeed working on a sequel to Pilotwings, which last graced the N64. A lot of us were holding out for a Cube version of Pilotwings, but we now know that the chance for that has come and gone. As with any magazine articles, if anyone could manage to get a scan of the article in question for final proof, it would be very appreciated.

I've never played a Pilotwings game before either, but I'd probably give this one a go - according to reports from the people who've had a go with the Revolution controller, the 'paper aeroplane' tech demo, which this game may be based on in some ways, worked really well.

i'd say it was a given already....

 

one of the rev control demos was flying a bi-plane through delfino plaza after all.

 

but to see the game start to actually materialise is good news - especially given it's absence from rumours so far.

 

W00T!

I hope it's more like the SNES original rather than the N64 version.

 

Pilotwings on the SNES was such a great chill out game, mainly due to the fantastic soundtrack, which they really ruined on Pilotwings 64 with that cheesy music. But 64 did have some nice ideas, I liked flying through the Little States (it was way too ambitious though) I remember the borders took up like 40% of the screen and even so the frame rate was still pretty bad.

 

Anyway, a new Pilotwings game is long overdue. Can't wait for E3! :bouncy:

I hope this one'll include regular airplanes (preferrably jets), and maybe a few ground vehicles...

 

I used to take the gyrocopter and drive arround on the ground till the fuel would run out... The surroundings looked so great even THAT close!

I owned an N64 late in its life and i've never had chance to play this game... lets hope this news is true.

I dont think this is confirmed as the scan is taken from the Rumour Mill section of EGM. I hope its true though but looking at some of the rumours. Another DS redesign? (I hope they are talking about the lite)
