PilotWings heading to the Virtual Console this Friday in Europe

August 18th, 2009 Posted in News, Wii, Written by Valay

A classic Nintendo game will be launching for the Wii Virtual Console this Friday in Europe. The company plans on releasing PilotWings, which originally came out for the SNES, for 800 points. There’s no word yet when the game will be available in North America, but it should be noted that the title was rated by the ESRB quite some time ago.

----------

Enough said. There's no way a new Pilot Wings is coming so soon though.

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

It's not out yet, but since Paradigm Entertainment (the guys that made Pilotwings 64) has been shut down, I don't know if it will have any impact on the chances of a VC release for Pilotwings 64.

I LIKE REDMOON ONLINE. IT'S TEH MOST AWESOMEST MMORPG.

Nonsense, Nintendo has abandoned the Virtual Console, don't ya know.

This would suggest that a new Pilotwings isn't coming to Wii. Otherwise Nintendo would release it alongside to drive hype.

They have only used that technique a few times right? They did it for Punch Out but what other series did they VC before a new version?

They released Metroid and Super Metroid shortly before MP3 launched.
