Paradigm announced at E3 1997 that they were producing a Nintendo 64 sequel to "Pilotwings 64". However, even though Nintendo expressed interest in Paradigm's early presentations, the game was cancelled because Nintendo did not have the resources to aid in its development at that time. There were rumors of a sequel on the Nintendo GameCube and later the Wii, development courtesy of Factor 5, but no game was ever shown. After their briefing time at E3 2010, Nintendo announced a sequel titled "Pilotwings Resort" for the Nintendo 3DS, which was released as a launch title for the handheld console.
