But SNES was before N64 - this person (me too!) wants a Pilotwings 64 sequel!

  I was commenting about the SNES version of Pilotwings also not having a proper sequel. Been wanting one since '92 or so, don't remember when I beat it for the first time. Also, my copy of Pilotwings the Biplane crashes, always thought it was weird that the demo would do that. Guess I'm gonna have to find a copy with the other chip.

    Oh! I was assuming the N64 version was a sequel of the SNES version. Never thought of them as unrelated.

      Pilotwings 64 was a sequel. I'll be honest I never played the SNES version as I had a Genesis instead of an SNES around that time so maybe the SNES version had different mechanics that the previous poster missed in the N64 version and he doesn't consider it a true sequel. Not quite sure...

        All of the Pilotwings games are great. But the later 2 (64 and resort) have a different look and feel than the original. For me the difference is 2d flight sim from the 16bit era vs the much more advanced 3d polygon driven flight sim of the later games. Think Mario World vs Mario 64. The original Pilotwings has a charm of its own that isn't in the other games. --- > I had a Genesis instead of an SNES around that time One thing I miss from that era of gaming, households were typically one or the other, at the time I didn't know anybody that had both Nintendo and Sega. I had to sell my NES to upgrade to SNES (I was 7, it was a big deal to me).

      They are related in name and activity, but they don't have the same look and feel. If you called Pilotwings 64 a reboot of the original Pilotwings you wouldn't be wrong.
