And as we sit just a few short months away from the release of Nintendo's new revolutionary handheld system, the 3DS, my money is on the games created by Nintendo to make the system a success. For me, Pilotwings Resort, with its colorful new take on a series that has been around for years, is one of those Nintendo titles that are well worth anticipating."

Some game endings are good. Most are bad. And a few just sail out of the blue. One example of an unexpected game ending is the conclusion of Pilotwings for the SNES.

Pollatsek co-founded United States based development studio Monster Games in 1996 which went onto working on Wii titles such as ExciteTruck and ExciteBike: World Rally. The studio was hired as an international partner in the development of PilotWings Resort, a launch title for Nintendo 3DS. One of Pollatsek’s hobbies included flying airplanes."
