I've been waiting for a Pilot Wings Wii since I got the console. Please, bring it on and let it be good!

Good. Factor 5 games are pretty much all shit. Yes, even the Turricans.
No Pilotwings > Factor 5 Pilotwings

actually star fox was originally a collaboration between argonaut and nintendo as well,
frankly star fox for the wii would have been perfect if nintendo did the level design and factor 5 the graphics engine

I think Namco's GC engine was pretty good honestly.  Sure, Assault sucked overall, it went in too many directions gameplay wise and threw in too many annoying new furries (ie: Sonic Syndrome) but the rail-shooter sections were decent.  I wouldn't mind seeing them working under EAD again for a full space/rail shooter Star Fox Wii.

Well, I need more than them just saying the game is done before I can decide if I think it should get published or not. Release some gameplay footage and we will talk.

Heard about this on GAF last week I think.. Nothing new, Nintendo cancels games all the time if they don't think it's of a high enough quality.


This interests me. Do you have examples of games they have cancelled in the past for this reason?

Damn Nintendo for outsourcing franchises...they did it with Star Fox, now Pilotwings..any other?

The best Star Fox games were, voila, developed by one of Nintendo´s internal teams...look at the results when they started outsourcing.

There may be some game(s) they outsourced that turned out ok or great and I´m not aware of, but the way I see it is 1st party titles should never be outsourced, at least not if the original title was quite good and acclaimed (like SF and Pilotwings for the SNES), but hey what do I know right?

The FIRST Star Fox was outsourced.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

Well Miyamoto is famous for it, they call it upending the tea table or something in Nintendo? When Miyamoto decides a game isn't of a high enough quality to be released, it's upgraded or scrapped I think.

Only the coding.  Game design was 100% Nintendo EAD.

I'm surprised that they even made it. The sales on those games were never that good.
