Review Pilotwings 64 - A Real Gem, Sparkling In The Shadow Of Mario 64
Top flight
This review originally went live in 2013, and we're updating and republishing it to mark the game's arrival in Switch's N64 library via the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack. Releasing alongside Super Mario 64 when the Nintendo 64 launched back in 1996 (1997 if you're European), it was somewhat inevitable that Pilotwings 64 was...

Is this better than Pilotwings for SNES?
Wasn't this a Nintendo 64 launch game? It still isn't up yet.
I'd download this for sure if it ever came to the VC.
I wonder if this will come as a hype-up to Resort next month, or so?
@Bass: Agreed.
Yes it was better than the SNES version. Infact, it was one of the best N64 games released. So much so that I am so sick of waiting for classic games like this to be released on the VC that I have gone to Ebay and bought an N64. To be honest, I wish that I had never sold my classic system collection but there you go I did so let's not talk about it ever again! I just picked up Quake for 99p and am bidding on Pilotwings and Jet Force Jemini right now.
My N64 turned up yesterday with Shadows of the Empire and when nI plugged it in to the kitchen TV a warm wave of yesterday washed over me. Forget the VC and just by the original consoles!
I'm gutted that my SNES appears to be ill and won't display any video- oh well I'm sure I can pick one up cheap and finally play Unirally again as it seems that is another title never to be released on VC.
Sadly, I never got to play this game on the 64. I mastered the SNES one and the 3DS one. This really needs to be released on the VC before Nintendo stops supporting it altogether in favor of the Wii U.
