Welcome To Jurassic Pinball, Launching 25th May On Nintendo Switch

I've sunk like $80 into Pinball FX3. That's more than enough Switch pinball for me.

Plus FX3 actually has licensed Jurassic Park tables.

The table looks so basic. With so many options available from the masters of the genre ,Zen and Farsight Studios ,including a trio of Jurassic Park tables I'm not sure why anyone would bother with this.

One table? Just one?
What is this? The Jurassic age of gaming?

Yeah this looks pretty bad... First off the playfield art is just the translite image re-used and isn't integrated with the playfield design at all. The theme is ridiculously generic and uninspired. Also, I'm pretty sure the DMD is just displaying Unity's default font and isn't actually using dots. This is only going to be about as good as all the mediocre pinball games on mobile devices at best.

This looks far worse then Zens original stuff. Still, if it's really good (which I doubt) I probably pick it up.

Curious about the feeling and the feedback... One good table may justify a 2 / 3 € price...

This has to be the most boring Pinball Table i've seen in quite some time.

Wait! Didn't this table already exis-

OH, WAIT! Wrong table.

I’m sure some pinball fans would buy that for a dollar. Not worth much more though.

2-3 bucks tops doesn’t look as good as the 3 pack of Jurassic tables!

Whoa, that table looks awful. There's basically nothing to it. You're better off with the FX3 tables.

So sad... even for $2... why would Nintendo allow this?

I hate to be that guy, but what makes this table any worse than the convoluted messes that are FX3's tables? Sometimes, simpler is better. I honestly don't like most of what Zen offers. (Honestly, they were going to forget about patching Pinball FX3 doing 60fps handheld until there was a stink.) I'm finding The Pinball Arcade much better, especially with classic tables like Black Hole.

@Iacobus I'm with you. Pinball Arcade is awesome. I'm willing to give this a shot for the price. FX pinball is neat but I ultimately prefer real tables.

Too bad you can’t grab the Bally/Williams tables on the Switch anymore!! But on PS4 and Xbox we still have till June 30th!!

Meh... this looks bad, and besides: there's already a WAY more Jurassic Pinball game, that I used to play on the A1200:

Not sure what all the complaining about, it’s a recreation of an actual table. Lol@ only one table being included though, that is weird.

Well $2 is not a bad price considering it's only ONE table, and we already have Pinball Arcade, Stern Pinball Arcade, and FX3,, but really, I'll buy it with TATE mode.

$2 is not a bad price for a table, so if it has TATE and its good enough I'll pick it up, especially since TPA lost all the bally and williams tables.

But... I can't find any information on this pinball table? Is it REALLY a recreation table?

@JHDK I know, exactly!

@Iacobus True, some of the more convoluted FX3 tables are really just kind of a pain in the a**

I immediately thought, "What? But the FX3 Jurassic tables have been out for a while now" Buy this is literally just one JP table? Odd.

Weird thing is Pinball Arcade is out on the eShop worldwide now. and it's FREE with a pretty great table, Frankenstein. Yet Nintendo Life has a blank page for it Odd...

Looks bad and I love pinball

I'm fine with sticking to Pinball FX and Pinball Arcade.

This table is made by a 5 year old kid who just learns how to program. Comparing Zen Studios' tables with this atrocity is like comparing the Parthenon with a shack.

This shouldn't cost more than $5 and even that's asking for a lot, considering it's ONE table and FX3 is tough competition.

Maybe I'll get those Jurassic Park (and World) tables in PFX3 after all; the lack of licensed music was putting me off, but there's nothing stopping me from playing the actual soundtrack at the same time.

I like dinosaurs and simple pinball games, so I may get this since it's cheap.

Does it come with the other game in the background?

One table, a recreated original, for 1,99€.
It seems we've come along way since Pinball (NES) for 5,00€.

@JHDK Yeah I bought the FX3 Jurassic pinball tables on Switch already for the $10 which is good enough for me.

|sf>I bought this today and after a lot of attempts, I reached 12.42 million to take the fourth Worldwide position (I know people will bump me lower, but it's awesome to be so high on there for now).

I welcome any versions of pinball machines that appear on a console and occasionally I've bought hardware (such as a Lynx) in order to play released pinball tables. To me there's plenty of room in the shop for every pinball like The Pinball Arcade, FX3, or even Nintendo's Pinball.

As for my reactions to this table, the credits to this table do not list a physical table that it's based upon. Instead, it appears to be inspired by old school style tables. There are two sets of drop targets on the left and right of the table. There are two ramps near the top of the table. There's also a dinosaur on the left who 'moves' and makes sounds which reminds me of the figures from "Attack from Mars" on TPA. There's a spinner near the ramps that can also be used to score points.

Honestly, I think it's a pretty fun table, even if it's not as sophisticated as some of the Zen or TPA tables. It's certainly better than several of the eShop 3DS pinball titles that don't have Zen in the title.

@Iacobus I'm right there with you. I liked Zen's tables on the 3DS. On the Wii U, initially I liked some of them but I quickly found myself enjoying Farsight's real tables more. Looking at what Zen has in their collection for Switch, I think they totally lost me. I decided to give Jurassic Pinball a try. It's basic and it's hard to get excited about one table, but if you like "real" pinball, I guess it may be worth $2. But I'd say save you two bucks and put it toward buying the Farsight Pinball Arcade.
