Remixed Pilotwings Soundtrack Takes Flight

Music to your ears?

by James Newton Thu 26th Apr 2012

SNES classic Pilotwings had a pretty good soundtrack, and it sounds better now it's been remixed.

Pilotwings: Take Flight is a seven track project from OCRemix-ers halc and group Insert Rupee, available for free download now.

We'd recommend it on the strength of its track names alone — You Don't Talk About Flight Club and The Birdman Cometh, for instance — but halc's "9-bit" audio stylings are worth the price of admission. Which is, of course, free.

You can download Pilotwings: Take Flight now. It's free.

This one is pretty awesome, grabbed it yesterday. I have myself covered "Pilotwings" a couple of times in "Shiryu's Arcade" Volume 5 last Christmas ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaRqWf8Gwm0 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIx8zSQIV1c ). The SNES outing is still my favourite, but the N64 version sure had some nice touches. Maybe a real new "Pilotwings" on the Wii U, Nintendo? Please?

You know, I loved Pilotwings Resort. It's a great game. Also enjoyed PW64. Never played the original. I hope a sequel to PWR comes along with online play- flying around the island with friends and taken on challenges would be sooo fun...

@ mario300: Your comments made me smile. This is remix of the soundtrack to the original pilotwings for the SNES. Those "3D looking" images are pictures of the old SNES game. Although, come to think of it, this does seem like a no-brainier candidate for a "3D Classics" remake. I think the effect would work really well.
