New Pilotwings set for appearance on Rev?

Wii News | US mag suggests so.
The latest issue of US games rag EGM has dared to suggest that there may be a next-generation Pilotwings game in the works for Nintendo's forthcoming Revolution console. Printed in the rumours section of the magazine, we should probably point out that this is just that for now - a rumour. Still, Pilotwings 64 remains a staunch PALGN favourite, whilst the preceding SNES version could certainly eat up a good number of hours, so any new version would be warmly welcomed by us.

We're remaining doubtful for now though - after all, we seem to recall similar rumours of a GameCube Pilotwings circulating just before the Cube released. Hopefully though, E3 will bring us news of a genuine reunion with Goose and co.

"We're remaining doubtful for now though - after all, we seem to recall similar rumours of a GameCube Pilotwings circulating just before the Cube released"

It was actually a few years after it was released. 2004 I think. Nintendo mentioned in January that year that they were working on the project with Factor5, and then in 2005 Factor5 went out and said they weren't making anymore games for the GameCube. Whether that means they shifted the project right there and then to the Revolution, or what? Don't know.

So its exsistence has always been there. Not really a matter of whether this is true or not, just a matter of when and by who.

I'm certainly praying for a Pilotwings appearance on the console, it's been far too long.

Pilotwings was a great game, I think it would be pretty cool on the Rev and to see how they intergrate it with the controller

Considering the amount of times Nintendo has mentioned the idea of using the controller like a kid pretending to fly a plane with his hand when talking about the Revmote, I'd be really, really surprised if that method wasn't used in a new Pilotwings game.

They should make another PilotWings. The N64 version ruled.

Factor 5 were rumoured to be making a cube version.

But they make PS3 games exclusively now, so there's no way the project was shifted.

Pilotwings on Revolution would be sweet, sweet, SWEET!
