Topic: "Zen Pinball 3D" is here!

im gonna wait for more revies. not THAT interested in pinball games...

I rather like that I am (or, was) ranked 10th in Australia, one place ahead of Ben AV, who must be the same guy as on this forums, in the Pro Score acrosss all four tables.

Highest ranking I've ever had in an online leaderboard

Ben, if you read this, we should Friends each other, so our team score can get up there

hi, have you tried Pinball Pulse from DSiWare yet? i loved that game.. i actually was up til 2am.. playing that.. last night.. i need sleep!!!

I have and I love it! Unfortunately, it is one of the few DSiWare games that did not make the transition to 3DS. I don't play my DSi anymore so Pinballl Pulse is sadly no longer a good option

This page is misleading.. Nintendo took off Pinball Pulse and thus disclaims that it is now possible to transfer the game. But obviously its not.. this annoys me so much

Actually, they have just recently made Pinball Pulse available in the eShop and thus, possible to transfer. I was helping my little sister set up her 3DS and while we were transferring her DSiWare, PP was possible to transfer. I was like What??? So jumped on my 3DS eShop and sure enough, there it was available for 4.99. So I transferred mine and am very happy. You know what? I think I'm gonna make a thread about this!

Thanks for letting me know that Pinball Pulse is out. If I hadn't read this I wouldn't have realized for a while. How long was it up?

Dunno if I should get it though. Really should save my money, and Zen Pinball is already around the corner.

P.S. Isn't Earthwork Jim already out on Eshop??

Sorry to doublepost but Zen Pinball 3D has been officially priced at $6.99 in NA, coming on the 12th.

Anybody want to swap friend codes for the team score?
So far my pro score is only 26, but I'm working on it....

Zen Pinball arrives tomorrow in NA. Is it worth the purchase?

I know I'll be getting it the second its available! Definitely worth the purchase for me since I really enjoy video pinball and find it great for pick up and play situations. I've been waiting a while for this one and I'm stoked my wait will finally be over tomorrow!

Its a really good pinball game (within the limitations of playing pinball on a screen) and looks smashing. The online leaderboards are a big plus for replay value. The action can be hard to follow because the graphics are quite small as they only use the upper screen for the playfield representation but the gameplay is excellent.

Don't let the bad quality eShop trailer fool you. The game looks amazing.

Make sure to set the camera view at 6

I got it and love it! I find that camera view 5 works best for me after tooling around with all of them. It really is a great value. I don't see how people call 7 bucks for this "expensive." It comes out to slightly less than 2 dollars per table (And they're all very well made!). Throw in achievements and full online leaderboards and you have a fantastic package for just 7 bucks! I can't wait to really dig into each table in fine detail and start really scoring big on the leaderboards! BTW, my name online is "Brendon D."

i must admit that the eshop trailer is very rough around the edges. I thought i was because that i didnt have 3d enable for that app though(didnt turn it on with parents controls because i had 20+ downloads to do).

Why does it seem only Mutant Mudds was able to produce a 3D eShop trailer with graphics equal to or close to that of the game?

I'm also really enjoying this. I've just been in Excalibur for now since I like to stick with one till I know it inside and out. I also prefer 6 over 5 for my camera but 5 works well. I did find over pinball pulse the ball seems a little bit more weighted! Just had to get use to it. Any who its time to keep knocking off all my friends one by one!

@tovare There's a camera option that follows the ball? I was completely uninterested in buying this until I heard that. I liked pinball games back in the day, but this didn't seem worth it. I might consider it now.

@joevox316, there's 8 different camera options and some follows the ball so I'm sure you'll find one angle you like. I use angle 5 mostly.

Yeah, angle 5 is good. I really like this game. Excalibur is my favorite table. I find the Shaman table to be really cheap. I can't get a high score on that table because the ball always manages to go down the outlane. The tables all have so much going on that it is difficult to understand what you are supposed to do. I'm starting to get an idea on the Excalibur stage but it takes a while. Even reading the explanations isn't much help at first. All the sudden I got on a pinball kick and I bought this game and ordered Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Edition online. I can't wait to compare the real pinball tables in that game to the fictional tables in Zen Pinball.

But you know what pinball game really rocks? Pinball on the NES. I could play that game for hours. I like old school video game pinball that isn't trying to be like a real pinball table. Now I want to track down a copy of Metroid Prime Pinball. I should have got that when it came out.
