Is it free? I mean, I like Pilotwings, but I wouldn’t pay any amount of money for it. Maybe $5 tops.

>>6216327
Sure. Its better than Pilotwing 64

Both PW and PW64 are worth getting. Classics.

>>6216338
>Both PW and PW64 are worth getting. Classics.
The right answer. Get the original carts and you're in peak correctness territory

>>6216334
A-are you me? Seriously dude, I get so tired of seeing Pilotwings 64 nostalgia all the time, like no one remembers the original. It's fucking classic, man.

>>6216361
PW64 has whacky controls though not gonna lie.

>>6216376
Its called N64 worship. 64 graphics automatically make it the Greetist of All Tiame.

>>6216376
I don't even see that much nostalgia for PW in general. If anything, I think both are praised equally, but not as much as they should.
Let this thread be a Pilotwings thread, not a SNES vs N64 one.

>>6216379
How so? Which vehicles?

>>6216385
Shut the fuck up. N64 was a better system but Pilotwings was a better game than PW64

>>6216385
Even the 3DS game is really good, though soulless, unfortunately

>>6216392
Jetpack goes from 0 to 1000 mph in just a push of a button. The gyrocopter has terrible turning. Other things I could add as well.

>>6216394
I liked both, pal.
PW64 has the moon jump and the birdman missions which are among my favorites (well, birdman is just free flying, more than an actual mission, but I still love it, max comf)

>>6216406
Wait The original doesnt have Birdman? It does

>>6216408
I don't remember the Birdman misssions in 64, but you might be thinking of the bonus stages in the original. Specifically the one where you play a stork/albatross and fly as far as you can.

You know what I love most about SNES Pilotwings? There's a lot to love, but what I love the most are the instructors. Their distinct personalities, the way they each have their own freak-out face if you score too high. I actually a childhood notebook somewhere in my house with fan art I drew of these guys (Shirley was one my first videogame waifus), and at one point I even planned on drawing my own fan comic about their day-to-day lives teaching students how to fly and dealing with terrorists at the EVIL Syndicate.

>>6216327
The music is comfy as fuck.

>>6216486
I just want to say that whatever Nintendo was paying Soya Oka, it clearly wasn't enough.

She should still be working at Nintendo today, composing music in her uniquely comfy style. ;_;

>>6216435
Goddamn I forgot how satisfying it was when they flipped out. If only Shirley would react to my penis like that

>>6216327
the game that caused my inverted aim.

In a nutshell yes.
It actually feels better than the realistic pc sims of the time which seem really bad after playing modern sims.

>>6216509
Hell yeah. The Queen of Comfy.

>>6216376
Nah I'm with ya. My best SNES friend turned me onto it. The cool one that had Super Scope, Stunt Race, Star Fox and Mario Paint. Good times.
Also based Soyo Oka soundtrack

PilotWings-demo-sequence is broken depending on if the cart has the DSP-1/-1A-chip (good) or the bugfixed 1B-chip (broken).

Man FUCK that stupid hang glider shit, I never managed to figure out how to even consistently land the damn thing

>>6218073
About a couple years ago I was playing Pilotwings and thought I'd try to land the hang glider on the rocket belt target and my mind was blown when I got a bonus stage I had never seen before. Thought for the longest time the jump one and penguin dive were the only ones.

Such a great classic.

>>6218098
Hah I just found out about that bonus stage a few months ago when I watched the TAS

>>6217634
Broken how?

>>6216509
>that interview where she's sad because koji kondo was getting all the fan mail

>>6218073
Hang glider's the most fun vehicle in both games

>>6216327
I liked it but it's certainly a game for its time. probably not worth playing today unless you like wonky "physics".

>>6219386
I find Pilotwings to have the right balance between sim and arcade gameplay. I don't find the physics wonky at all.
It's a kind of timeless game for me, can pick it up and play it anytime and enjoy it every time.

>>6216376
Pilotwings 64 had the boon of being 1 of the 2 N64 games at its release.

>>6218330
in the demo the plane does a landing.
with dsp1/1a, the landing works, with 1b it doesn't.

Nooo, are you serious? Link?

>>6216382
Don't let your irrational N64 hating put you off a good game.

>At times I envied my senior, Koji Kondo-san, for receiving so many fan letters with pictures (from the children). (laughs)

>>6216327
yes its max comfy

>>6221656
Damn, I actually fell for that. Nicely played.
