Pilotwings Island was developed by Hudson Soft, and was released for the Game Boy Nitro in 2007. The game featured a single island, Wuhu Island, an environment designed for use in several Nintendo games. The game featured three vehicles, a plane, glider, and rocket belt, and included a local multiplayer option that allowed for both competitive and cooperative play.

Reception
Although one of Nintendo's more minor series, each installment in the Pilotwings franchise has received at least a million sales. Furthermore, the games have received generally positive reviews, though Island had some mediocre reviews.
