Why doesn't Pilotwings get more love?

Nostalgia is a huge marketing tool. Hollywood is the worst offender at the moment, but gaming isn’t far behind. Nintendo has cashed in on the same recognizable franchises for decades now, yet ignores Pilotwings. Kirby, Yoshi and even Bomberman get new games, but a franchise that helped launch both the SNES and N64 has been left behind.

Why did you mention Bomberman like Nintendo owns the IP?

porkChop2896d ago

Yeah that's a bit weird, isn't it? Nintendo has no control over that franchise.

Pilotwings was my vietnam. Such a terrible game! Can't believe people ask for a remake.
IF we talk about N64 games to be remade - What about Extreme G?

JAMurida2895d ago

Weird, I was nostalging (new word?) to this game last night listening to Pilot Wings 64 OST - Birdman. Always loved that song.

Muadiib2895d ago

That, Wave Race and F-Zero need a come back.

RosweeSon2895d ago

I always hoped they would add the N64 island to 3ds version as a bonus or DLC but never happened ;(

Square makes some very weird decisions.

This is really stupid and just baffling, the explanation for it is also a big non answer, very disappointing.

its pretty obvious they lost the source code

they are so going to try to sell the extra content later down the line.

Square Enix has really gone down the drain. Even FF7: Rebirth, while being an incredible acheivment seemed very sloppy in some areas... namely performance. These folks wonder why their games don't sell but aren't putting in a decent effort.

It's been like that for a while, they've just gotten progressively worse over time, this game is a bit of a monkey's paw situation. You get the remaster, but you don't get the War Of The Lions content in exchange.

They seem to be suggesting that people didn't like the new stuff in WotL, hence it's non-inclusion, but they're probably secretly planning to add it as DLC down the line, they just don't want to tell people that because they think it'll get an even worse reaction. When they do eventually add it, they'll be like, "We listened". Of course, it won't be free though, so they'll still get flak for it. On the other hand, maybe I'm too cynical.

I could see that happening actually.
