Pinball fans with a Wii U do have some options to scratch their itch courtesy of Zen Pinball 2, though Momonga Pinball Adventures from Paladin Studios is aiming to shake things up a little. Originally confirmed for the Wii U back in 2013, it's now got a final release date for the system.
It'll roll its way onto the eShop in Europe and North America on 15th October, priced at €5.99 and US$5.99 respectively. There's a story mode with nine levels and three minigames - Panda's Dream in which you float through the sky, the Pachinko-inspired Guachinko, and finally Arena for 'survival-mode pinball'. The latest trailer is below.
It's looking rather promising; will you be keeping an eye on this one?

Just in time for my birthday! Will wait for your review first, but I rather like what I saw in the trailer months ago.
This needs to score rather high for me to consider it. To me it doesn't look that interesting.
Pinball with an actual 'story mode' .. One to watch methinks, physics look slower than I'm used to but sure that will make the sweet shots easier.
Definitely looks like it's worth a look for $5.99.....
As fun as this looks, I think i have enough Pinball games on my Wii U (Zen Pinball 2)
Reminds me of Armillo, which is a game I enjoyed. Will definitely keep an eye out for it.
I'll double dip on this one! A nice little game. I played it on the iPad, but it'll be much better and more fun with controller buttons.
I've always liked these pinball themed adventure games like Sonic Spinball. I've always found it to be a creative idea that not enough people utilized.
This is a great game, will buy again.
Very much looks like Flipper Critters... which was fun on the DS, but hard to figure out what to do...
I hope it is good and I hope it does well.
I'm a big fan of these Pokemon Pinball like games. I'll be grabbing this one
Best pinball game I have ever played, blows the others right out of the water The characters voices tended to get annoying, but doesn't ruin the story much. Testing your precision in each level is a blast, each level gets more difficult, and the final boss was pretty damn hard. Graphics are amazing too.
@Spin I agree. I'd also like to see more creative pinball games in the future. It seems like there's so much potential to evolve pinball beyond a simple game of high-score chasing, yet there have been so few attempts to do something new. It would be cool if Zen Studios tried to tackle adventure-style tables in the future. They've done a fantastic job modernizing and adapting pinball for consoles.
I love this concept and I'm on board! This looks like what I'd hoped Mario Pinball Land would be, but was not.
Aw. Yiss.
I love the design in this game, and I read Paladin's "making of" article back then, which was very inspiring. Definitely going to get this.
Oooh. So I wasn't interested but I watched the video out of boredom and now I'm very interested! It looks really well made and not at all what I was expecting
@Spin I was just about to comment that Sonic Spinball is the only pinball game I ever truly enjoyed. I wonder how everyoe would react if this were re-tooled as Sonic Spinball 2
Don't have a Wii U anyway, but I'm sticking to normal pinball. Games with 'story modes' and stuff always have crappy layouts.
Pinball is my thing, so i will buy it anyways. To be honest it looks like an aldskool gamecube title but well for 5 euro,. it's ok
@AshFoxX I highly suggest you take a look at games like Alien Crush, Devil's Crush, Dragon's Revenge, 3-D Ultra Pinball Thrillride (an amazing example of a single screen pinball game done right), and there is even Metroid Pinball on the DS that's pretty good.
