Never played any Pilot Wings games myself, but Weltall I do suggest you at least try out PW64 before condeming the series entirely. If F-Zero is any gauge, I believe this series isn't like the rest of those you listed where the suckage does indeed spread across them all.
What I mean by F-Zero is that while I enjoyed the SNES version, it wasn't enough to really sell me on racers until F-Zero X, with true 3D gameplay, came out and really blew me away. I think maybe PW64 may compare with PW in that way, but as I said I base this on no actual evidence except that the 3-headed monkey over there told me so, having never played either game. I'll likely start out with the new GCN game, assuming it actually is being made.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
