Scratch That Pilotwings Itch With Pilot Sports, Coming To Switch Later This Year

That looks colorful! I may keep an eye on this one for my friend's daughter.

The physic looks mehhhh... espacially with parachutes, hand glidings and jetpacks... :/

I love the original Pilotwings but this looks like something you'd get for 50p on the app store.

"No specific release date or pricing has been revealed for the game just yet, although it has been confirmed to be arriving "later this year". "

But the trailer specifically says September?

@chardir Ha ha ha, yeah well spotted

I'm surprised at how negative the other comments are. I actually really like the look of the game and it definitely looks like it will scratch that Pilotwings itch I've been having. Guess it's just a trailer at this point though.

There is something sightly off with most of the models and environments. The planes look and move right - but the people and the close-up environments are a bit...wrong. The worst offender is the hang-glider (my fav. in these kind of games) - it looks bad (more like a sports kite) and doesn't move anything like a hang-glider does.

I hope they fix it as I love Pilotwing type games. Come on Nintendo - make the real thing!

@Cobalt agreed

@wazlon I'm not surprised, certainly not after the poo show that was the comment section on the Share Price article yesterday

The last Pilot Wings I played was on N64, so this looks great to me. I'm also more interested in it for my friend's 10-year old to enjoy, so there's an entirely different expectation in terms of graphics haha.

Yeah !!

That's all I was dreaming of. Just give us more than 1 island this time and it'll be awesome !

I love this kind of games, always loved pilot wing... It will be mine.

@HobbitGamer
Kinky

Somehow no Pilotwings after SNES ever really caught the same feel to me. It was kind of magic for its time but it lost part of itself even on N64.

@Gold_Ranger What?

@Cobalt agree....I think this could be a great Pilotwings type of game, but these games are all about the physics...if this improves definitely it´s a buy for me.

Hmmm, not a big fan of the art style, especially the characters. Too “caricatured”. I always preferred the more realistic look of the original Pilotwings than those that followed.

Also aircraft physics are questionable; may be simplified 2-axis motion instead of full 3-axis. Thats an immediate dealbreaker for me.

How I wish Nintendo had let Lucasarts do their proposed 1950s/60s set Pilotwings.

This could scratch my flying itch until (hopefully) a new Pilotwings is announced. I wonder if it has free flight with multiple islands though?

If you like the look of this game check out Air Mail.

That video is weird. You never have more than 2 seconds shots.
As if they are trying to hide how small that island is.

Typically the wait-for-review kind of game.
I might pick it up if it's good and cheap.

Looks pretty epic, but if Nintendo somehow miraculously announces a new PilotWings, I'll have to neglect this one. Otherwise, it will indeed get a sale from me.

@brunojenso The movements are a bit "stiff" or too arcadey, for lack of a better word. There's a certain lack of "float" when you go sideways or down. They move a bit fast and stiff-like while maneuvering.

Otherwise, the game looks pretty fun. I hope they fix the above issues.

We already have better flight games on the Switch

@JayJ I agree - but would you name the one's you'd personally recommend? Just interested to know the best ones.

@HobbitGamer But that was completely different. Here people are critiquing important aspects of an upcoming game - the physic and visual design. We need such critique. The shares article was just full of people jumping on the whole 'we have a drought', 'Nintendoom', 'how could Ninty do this to us' nonsense.

@brunojenso Skies of Fury and Sky Rogue are the two best flight games right now IMO. Manticore Galaxy on Fire is a good space flight shooter if you enjoy that sort of thing.

@JayJ Cheers buddy - I forgot about Skies of Fury in particular

@brunojenso I suppose. I don't see an issue with the visual aspects of the game. But, I also don't have high expectations for a studio I've never heard of.
