SNES Pilotwings Lesson 2 Rocketbelt

Looking up the definition of "classic game", Pilotwings for the SNES should be one of the reference titles. My 3rd cart for the Super Nintendo, I have finished and played this over and over, always feeling a fresh experience due to its unique way to take on the several flight lessons. It was many months later I found out about the hidden bonus stages like the one on the video. I do hope Nintendo brigs htis back to Virtual Console, both SNES and N64. Let's dream with DS and even Wii versions!

lol im sorry but my 3DS version is so much better =(

but this is classic, and without 3DS version wouldnt exist =)

@GenralosityXL I also have the 3DS version but there will always be a place in my memories for the original (my 3rd SNES cart, no less). A bit unfair to compare something from 1990 to something from 2011. The Nintendo 64 version is still the one that offers more variety, tough.

it was luck

[ShiryuGL]

@bcourter82 In my experience, there is no such thing as luck.

I miss the 2 dimensional games sometimes.

Man, I love the music from this! And Shirley could be bitchy, but she was kinda cute too!

Use to hate the rocketblet level. I always ended up in the water and pissed off Shirley.

@GenralosityXL Heh, I played Pilotwings Resort once, and I have to say it reminded me more of Pilotwings 64, than it did the SNES version. Have to say I still prefer the original 2 games, over Resort. (though Resort isn't terrible) Nintendo blew it by not making a Pilotwings for either the GameCube or Wii, plus actually adding a lot of features(a la the jump from Pilotwings to Pilotwings 64) to make it truly memorable and fun. Maybe one day, Nintendo will make a new Pilotwings game for Wii U.

Just started using the original ROM in the zsnes emulator in Ubuntu.

I literally cried when I finally loaded it up and memories from the days when I was just learning how to read flashed right before my eyes....

I never thought I would find this ever again because I forgot the title. This and Super Battleship are serious overdoses of nostalgia for me. Oh, and Donkey Kong Country as well ;D

OK, You're doing OK, but you could do better !

I love this game.
