Topic: pilotwings resort 3DS longevity?

(did i spell longevity right? )
I bought pilotwings at launch. I've only played 2 hours 38 minutes and 46 seconds of mission mode and i have 3 stars on all missions. Including diamond missions. I've played roughly the same amount of free flight mode and I've almost finished that too. Is anyone else disapointed that this game was so short? If they made another 3DS pilotwings game I would definately buy it though. If they included at least one new area (maybe a place from another video game?) and twice the amount of missions and free flight collectables. Is there anyone that beat theres earlier, and is still playing it?

Yeah, I thought it sounded like a barebones game. It's like Nintendo is purposefully not doing the best they can so that third parties will get a lot of the action. If that's what they're doing, they're doing it right, when I get a 3DS I'm getting SSFIV.

Yes I'm sure this is exactly what was going through their head! /me dramatically rolls eyes

THERE... ARE... 4 LIGHTS!

I think Nintendo wants 3rd and 1st parties to sell, I mean we still have bad games on the 3DS

I have played or 10 hours on Pilotwings (according to my activity log). According to my game I have roughly played 4 hours on free flight and and 2 on mission, it is a short game but in my option it is a great game.

Correction! It's supposed to be 3 hours instead of 2. Oops. But still. Thats really short. I don't think nintendo is really trying to downsell their own games. That's just a bad idea. I think they were just lazy in making this game because they were focused on the console itself. I mean they ported the whole world from another game! All they did was make some balloons and colloectables and add 5 aircraft with a measly 40 missions. Still really fun, but it's a bit of a let down because they could/should have done so much more with it.

I've played for 18 hours...lol.


I also found an Easter Egg yesterday. Go in free flight mode with a jetpack at night and fly towards the little huddle of houses next to the windmills. The info bubble will say something...(I won't give it away) and if you fly over to the only house with the lights on, you'll hear something...

Hey, heres an article that might make you think a little different....

http://www.gamesradar.com/f/pilotwings-resort-isnt-2-3-hours-...

I have clocked up 15hours and 18mins (according to activity log) or 10:31:50 (according to pilotwings)
Have 3stars in everything, and perfect's in novice and bronze. I'm missing one stinking gold ring in free flight and its driving me crazy!!

I dont think the game is too short, I think its just right myself. Have a read of the article though and see what you think.
I'm off to try that easter egg now ha ha!

Yeah very true, its a short & sweet experience for me. I don't mind that it's a bit bare, because overall I just love to play the game to relax.

I have around eight hours in it, according the 3DS log. Just recently three starred all missions, now looking to 'perfect' them. Also I'm still on the hunt for a couple gold rings and a mii statue. I'll probably never ever find them!

Cool easter egg! It's just the mission mode that seems short. I have no idea when I'll get tired of free flight.
"short but sweet" seems a perfect way to describe this game.

Try getting a perfect score on every mission before you claim the game is "too short". I've clocked 20 hours and I haven't even gotten 3 stars on all of the missions yet. Oh, and those 300 something collectables also take some time

This is a signature.

I don't know many people now a days that care about high scores anymore, especially high scores you can't post online, like an leaderboard.

It's not about high scores. It's about 'completion'. Pilotwings and Galaga are two different games.

I've logged about 15 hours so far and I still have a couple of things to pick up in Free Flight Mode.

It may be short, but it has quite some replayability.

Am thinking getting this?

But can anyone tell me after you unlock everything! conquered all missions 100% done and dusted!

Will any of you return to free flight mode to just simply enjoy the ability to fly around in day,night,sunset???

Because id probably just do that past time enjoy flying around for fun of it!

plus i hear there are other little ilands to like wedge island.

But because i dont own game i wondering how many people will do this after they done everything?

If we knew how small we were are problems wouldn't seem so BIG!

I've given up on the missions long ago and just spend my time in free flight mode now. Evening is my favorite time to fly. :3

If you add me, I need to at least know you or I won't add you back.
