Topic: PilotWings Resort Concept Art

Pretty promising, but needs more birdman

Hey guys, does anyone rememeber in the pilot wings on N64, you could get wings and fly around looking for stars?

Any info about that in the 3DS version?

What do you mean in the 3DS version? Like if there are bits of the N64 game in there?

no i guess i should have been clearer, i meant in pilot wings resort

This. The only thing I see that's different about them is the fact that this is clearly art and not what's rendered in game. So clearly it looks HEAPS better then what you get on the Wii and likely 3DS aswell in terms of textures, lighting etc. They look no more 3D than any other game art.

I'm really wanting to get this at launch but I'm skeptical abut the 3D effect. A lot of hands on that have been floating around have said this is one of the games where the 3D effect is a bit difficult. Causes eye strain, ghosting and loss of focus. That said, I'd be more than happy with what I've seen even if it was only in 2D! I'm torn between this and SSFIV............

When I tried the free-flight mode, it had a time limit, just like in WSR. LOL.

I think the only 3DS flight game that won't have a time limit is Star Fox 64 3D as Kid Icarus Uprising will also have a time limit.

they were always 3D but notice the shading and light points; textures. on the wii they were just shiny little avatars, now because they kinda have to, they've got more depth. did that help?

Well here is the official North American announcement trailer. Since Animal Crossing isn't a lunch title I guess this will fill the niche.

I'm perfectly fine with using Miis and even with using Wuhu, which is a well-designed place to which I'm glad to return after Wii Fit Plus and Sports Resort, but I do share the feeling that this seems a little slim on content. I'm hoping they'll surprise us with something unexpected, rather than just packaging a set of missions in the form of what we've seen in the current trailer and videos.

The original game had amusing instructors, so they could bring that back to make a huge difference. They could also simulate the different areas of the original by simply presenting Wuhu in different seasonal settings (snowed over, autumn leaves, etc) and use other creative methods to expand the island's replayability. I find it hard to believe that Nintendo would just phone it in and put together a few basic flying missions with nothing more to sell it as a package, given their first-party track record, but who knows.

This all seems pretty likely to me.

I hope it will include a online multiplayer Dogfight mode.

And there better be a free roam mode on every vehicle.

Thanks

I don't see this game having a dogfight mode. That simply seems very much out of the question especially considering the fact that we have Star Fox 64 3DS and Kid Icarus Uprising.

@Xkhaoz, I think its safe to assume that PilotWings Resort will have free roaming for the different vehicles.

Online mode which lets us compete for:
shooting targets
going through rings
Capture the flag mode

Something like that would REALLY make this game well worth it. Is there anything on Online multiplayer? Less they can 'update' it or something if it's requested enough...

Though, that's a bit of a stretch

Nintendo and Capcom have both been discussing "DLC" for the Nintendo 3DS and I hope it eventually happens.

I also agree with you that 'Capture The Flag' would really be nice for PilotWings Resort. I really enjoy 'Capture the Flag' on the Ratchet and Clank Size Matters PSP game.

Isn't concept art always like that?

I just hope the game turns out good! I haven't played a Pilotwings game since the SNES days!

I wish this was on Wii.
