I've had 700 nintendo points for a long time now. I've been waiting for a good 200-500 pointer. I thought about DQW but that may be a little too complex for me and I know I'd get my but handed to me online, lol. The official discription of pinball sounds pretty good though. I may get it depending on the review. I'm a little sad that I'll likely have to go according ONLY to NLife review as it doesn't sound like a game other media outlets (ala IGN) will care about.

I'll see once I read NLife's usually thorough review. If it doesn't sound appealing, I may just wait for Bomberman and myNotebook.

Bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech... Where did this game come from?!

Branbonbwii... I totally agree... October is halfway over and MyNotebook still isn't out. What about PopCap's rumored titles Bejeweled and Bookworm? They were supposed to had been out already, too. I'm sad that NoA feels the need to continually lie to us and get our hopes up about games that should have come out already, then releease something odd like this. I think we have 5 titles that were rumored to had been released already for DSIWare and we still don't have them... sad

I'd just like some screenshots, even more than impressions. The official description left it completely open as to what graphical style the game has (2D? 3D? Hybrid? Zooming, or fixed perspective? etc).

Twitter is a good place to throw your nonsense.

Luckily for me, I'm more excited about pinball than any of those previously announced games/apps. Surprises ftw! I really hope the game reviews well or at least decently, or I will be sad.

I am way too lazy to think of something clever.

Looks okay from the screen shots, but how many boards are there? Anyone know?

For a 500 point game I would assume 1-2 at most

@brandonbwii: Get DQ Wars. Don't even worry about it being "far too complex" because it's not. You'll get into it easily.

I'm only seeing one board so far... the one with the creepy Zeus head in it... I'm thinking I might download this but if there's only 1 pinball table/screen I could be pursuaded to wait another week for something better...

Well if that's the case I'll let you know where my curiosity ends up on this one. I just love Pinball, and 5 bucks for a pinball game isn't too bad. But yeah I am a little scared that there may only be one table. That wouldn't be too good...

I love pinball, too, Mr. Cheez. I'm holding off to see what others think, but it would be nice to have a quick, fun pinball game loaded on the DSi.

OK, just about 20 mins away till the update reaches here. I'll take about as much time as I need and give some impressions. I really do like the arcadey-ness of it, though. So far it seems the game LOOKS good, and it also looks like there isn't really that much content packed into it. But we'll have to see how the whole thing unfolds :)
