IGN firing up Nintendo 3DS and playing its games. First up, Nintendo's own Pilotwings Resort.
Some game endings are good. Most are bad. And a few just sail out of the blue. One example of an unexpected game ending is the conclusion of Pilotwings for the SNES.
Tynan Muddle at Aussie-Gamer.com writes: "Co-founder of development studio Monster Games and programmer for Nintendo’s PilotWings Resort on Nintendo 3DS David Pollatsek has passed away at the age of 38."
Pollatsek co-founded United States based development studio Monster Games in 1996 which went onto working on Wii titles such as ExciteTruck and ExciteBike: World Rally. The studio was hired as an international partner in the development of PilotWings Resort, a launch title for Nintendo 3DS. One of Pollatsek’s hobbies included flying airplanes."
