glasfen Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Yesterday, Game Informer posted an article on the Pilotwings franchise, trying to entice Nintendo to produce a Wii generation version. At the very end, they mention the style of music which should be included in a new rendition of the series, highlighting OCR's very own (and only Pilotwings mix) Midnight Altitude. Congrats for the exposure, jcd! Here's a link to the article. Quote
DarkeSword Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Oh man I love that mix. Pretty cool. Congrats to mixer jcd. Quote
Eino Keskitalo Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Nice catch - too bad they don't link to OCR! --Eino Quote
Toadofsky Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 I love that song, and I really liked the article. I've been waiting for a new Pilotwings, c'mon Nintendo, what gives? I need to fly a gyrocopter with Goose again!!! Hmm, maybe E3 will show or say something about it. Quote
Strike911 Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 I'm being completely honest here... When I'm feeling down, just a few minutes of Pilotwings is enough to put me in a good mood. Specifically when playing as birdman. Man, and if there is one franchise that I think would be perfect for the Wii, it's Pilotwings. I enjoyed the SNES version, but the N64 version had a lot of style going for it that the original lacked. Did Pilotwings sell well on the N64? Quote
Hy Bound Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Didn't Scott Peeples do a remix of that song on here? I could have sworn he did. :-/ Anyway, thats pretty cool, i remember Pilotwings being a pretty cool N64 game, i'd like to see it on the wii... I may actually play my wii now. Quote
JH Sounds Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Didn't Scott Peeples do a remix of that song on here? I could have sworn he did. :-/ Yeah, "Birdman ClearSkies". It got removed, but it can be found here: http://www.doulifee.com/Storage/OC_Removed/ Quote
NNY Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 That's probably one of my favorite remixes. It's too bad Nintendo didn't buy Paradigm from THQ. They coulda done something great. Quote
Liontamer Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 I tweeted about it. Thanks! http://twitter.com/ocremix/status/1447118905 Quote
glasfen Posted April 4, 2009 Author Posted April 4, 2009 Did Pilotwings sell well on the N64? 1.12 million copies. I don't know how good that is. It seems to be on the low end for N64 games (using the same site), but so are a few of my other favorites! And thanks, Liontamer! Quote
Sole Signal Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Cool stuff, man. I loved Pilotwings and its soundtrack back in the day, especially the Bird Man, Hang Glider, and Gyrocopter themes. Quote
KyleJCrb Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Definitely wouldn't mind a Pilotwings revival. The Birdman theme is one of my top favorite game soundtrack moments of all time. Such a relaxing tune. Quote

jcd Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Hey thanks all (esp. glasfen and LionTamer)! I was pleased to be asked to be a part of the article. I was assuming they were also going to link to OCR, but I guess not. I've been coming to OCR for years. I'm so happy to be a part of the community, OCR is the place to be. Quote
