I'm mainly interested in the Marvel tables and Plants vs. Zombies, but because of the lack of demo'ing in the iOS version I honestly haven't a clue so I'll be trying them all out to see what I like.

Well,, the 1/24 release list is up and no Zen. I honestly can't say that I'm surprised. I think this is further away than we are lead to believe.

CONFIRMED VIA TWITTER: They should have a date any day now.

Here's my version: If they don't get the date before monday Europe is screwed over for the Jan. deadline.

On Jan 14 they Tweeted "Hoping to confirm our release date this week " My money is seeing it come out the same day as the Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate demo (Feb 21)

I doubt it'll be THAT long. Last week they were saying "We'll be finishing it any day now and will get a date". Now they say "We should have a date any day now"

I think the opposite actually. I think the ball has more weight to it on Zen where as PA seems more floaty. I guess it comes down more to preference!

All right... They STILL say it's coming out in EU and US this month, but no date.

The PR appears tomorrow

It's coming january 31th, they just released the european line up.

here's the official trailer, any clue of the off-tv play feature?

If it's not the case I think I will purchase some tables on my PSVita, since I know from past experiences I don't even bother to turn on a home console for playing pinball

It's suppose to have off tv play so you should be good to go!

Now I really want a NA Release date... I have 39 dollars waiting for this game!

Finally! It's available on the European eShop now, i bought the classic pack DLC with four tables. Plays like a dream, looks fantastic!

I'm sort of interested, but I'd rather have DLC tables for Zen Pinball on 3DS to play in 3D. If you buy tables on the PS3 I think you get them for PS3 and Vita for one price, but I'm assuming we would have to buy tables twice to get them on both the Wii U and 3DS since the eShops aren't linked. I don't want to buy tables on the Wii U only to find out later that I could have got them on the 3DS instead.

It came out in EU today...

I want it in NA ASAP, looks amazing!

The DLC purchasing leaves a lot to be desired. Although there are buttons to purchase/trial tables, both just pop up a screen saying you need to go into the eShop to purchase or download table demos - even the Wii was slicker than that. When you do go into the eShop you need to tap through a few screens to get to the list and then you're limited to five items to purchase/download - um, why? I picked the max number of trial tables nearly 30min ago and it's still downloading them. Honestly I could have had all of these downloaded on my iPad by now and I wouldn't have had to leave the app.

Very confused about why this is so clumsy...

I just relayed that to the Zen forums! If you don't mind?

So, to everyone who's interested and doesn't have access to the Wii U version, here's the promised list of tables.

These are available from day one:

1. MARVEL - Marvel's The Avengers
2. MARVEL - World War Hulk
3. MARVEL - Fear Itself
4. MARVEL - The Infinity Gauntlet
5. MARVEL - Civil War
6. MARVEL - Captain America
7. MARVEL - Fantastic Four
8. MARVEL - Ghost Rider
9. MARVEL - X-Men
10. MARVEL - Thor
11. MARVEL - Moon Knight
12. MARVEL - Spider-Man
13. MARVEL - Wolverine
14. MARVEL - Iron Man
15. MARVEL - Blade
16. From Zen Pinball 3D - Excalibur
17. From Zen Pinball 3D - El Dorado
18. From Zen Pinball 3D - Earth Defense
19. From Zen Pinball 3D - Shaman
20. Tesla
21. V12
22. Mars
23. Paranormal
24. Sorcerer's Lair
25. Epic Quest
26. Plants VS. Zombies
27. EMPTY SLOT
28. EMPTY SLOT

As far as I know Ninja Gaiden, Ms Splosionman, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Nightmare Mansion, and Street Fighter II are not available here (they're exclusive to other platforms, or Zen Studios don't have the rights to them anymore, I don't know, but the developers already announced more tables for the Wii U version.

I also don't know if the Pinball FX games (Speed Machine, Extreme, Agents, and Buccaneer & Biolab, Pasha, Rome, and Secrets of the Deep) are part of the ZEN series.

I have heard that R & B and I believe Nightmare Mansion were doomed to die on the Xbox 360. It's running on older hardware and they don't have the time to update them. Too much time and money I believe. That's straight from the Zen forums and a Zen rep! As for the rest I'm not sure about.

Thanks for the additional information.

Now where's the fantroll and his list of PS360 tables?

From what I can tell the only difference between the two is the lack of Ninja gaiden and street fighter due to PS3 Exclusivitity

Actually Civil War was not on the original list. I believe there is only 25 tables!
