Pilotwings Soaring to Wii This December?

[bignige]

US retailer, Gamestop, has recently listed Pilotwings under the Wii section and is scheduled for release this December. There has been no confirmation that Pilotwings is even in development, but Gamestop have been pretty accurate with previous listings of late, Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition is a fine example. The original Pilotwings, a classics Super Nintendo title, saw you taking to the skys in either a plane, gyrocopter, skydiving and more in an attempt to perfect your flying skills. 1996 saw the sequel, Pilotwings 64, released on the N64, and so it only seems right that a new version should be released on the uber-popular Wii. As soon as any confirmation is announced, we'll keep you posted.

Really hope this is true as the SNES and N64 versions were sublime.

Gotta happen - Wonder who'll be dev this time though ???

Hopefully Nintendo themselves. Gamestop can't possibly know this (it's merely speculation in order to round up more attention for the console), but I'd be surprised if a Pilotwings doesn't come out for Wii at some point. I bet it's been in development for a long time at NCL.

this and Waverace are two of my faves of all time.

just hope it stays true to its heritage and they don't make it Pilotwings Street Extreme - DK Edition.

Yeah, I want the chilled-out atmosphere found in the originals. No hip-hop, no over-the-top characters, just relaxing, fun times.

Jazzy music please!

I can't think of much I'd like more than a new Wii Pilotwings done to perfection. The SNES original (where is it on the VC?!) is one of my all time favourite games.

[Bada Bing!]

I was dumbfounded that there wasn't aGamecube version.

[Ratso]

First the SNES and N64 versions to VC please (preferably properly PAL optimised) and then a full new game to the quality of those in time for Christmas, cheers Nintendo.

(Never gonna happen).

[Rossco]

This really needs to happen. Maybe thats why they never released it on GC, to hold out for the Wii all along!

[beecee]

as this is Virtual console news, it'll be the Snes or N64 version in December ?

[Yoshimax]

Nope - it's just either Nige has posted in the wrong place (should be headlines) or it has been moved in error - As its a retail store reporting it then we must assume this is a full-on Wii edition !
