This one has slowly been in the works for a very long time and finally, with the help of former Factor 5 members, I've been able to finish it! Here is your world exclusive first look at Factor 5's Nintendo Wii Pilotwings pitch and the game it eventually became, WiiFly/WeFly. The video contains our first ever gameplay footage from the project, concept art, game assets, and more. There's even insight from ex Factor 5, Inc. president Julian Eggebrecht and info on a lost Nintendo peripheral. 

Thanks so much again for your support. Without it, videos like this would not be possible! We will be doing a new podcast discussing this video and more this weekend, and work on the next video has already begun.

Pilotwings: A Lost Open World Reboot - Unseen64

Looks like it would have been an amazing title, even outdoing Nintendo's own integrations of various Wii functionality. Throughout their history, Nintendo have always had strong partnerships with key third party developers. In recent years that willingness for cooperation has only increased (Hyrule Warriors, Star Fox Zero, Samus Returns, etc.) I suspect that if this title were pitched to Nintendo today, they would have backed it.

Oh yeah. Definitely agree. I bet Nintendo would LOVE to have this now if they were pitched it. Unfortunately, their board was hugely arrogant about certain pitches during the Wii era. They thought they could do everything better themselves and were very dismissive of ideas to try new things with their franchise.
