==Franchise Description==
''Pilotwings'' was developed by Nintendo EAD alongside ''{{iw|supermariowiki|Super Mario World}}'' and {{uv|F-Zero}}. A similar tech demo titled ''Dragonfly'' was shown off to the press at trade shows in 1988. The idea of the game was to show how the Mode 7 graphics system can simulate 3D imagery by manipulating flat images to create a field of depth. The game was released in Japan on December 21, 1990 and was a launch title for the {{iw|nintendowiki|SNES}} in other territories throughout 1991.

A sequel, titled ''Pilotwings 64'' was released for the [[Nintendo 64]] as one of its three launch titles. Continuing the legacy of its predecessor, this game was made to show the console's ability to display large, high resolution landscapes with minimal load times and pop-in. The game also utilizes the analog stick to simulate the controls of real flight craft with realistic rise and descent physics.

After going dormant for fifteen years, Pilotwings returned with ''Pilotwings Resort''. Released in 2011 as a launch title for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. Alongside the portable nature of the game, ''Pilotwings Resort'' stands out among the series for using the 3D effect to further immerse the player in the game as well as applying the built-in gyroscope as a more intuitive control scheme. The game takes place entirely on [[Wuhu Island]], as it was released at a time when [[Nintendo]] wanted to make the island a character in and of itself.
