Zen Pinball 3D arrives on the 3DS in North America on the eShop on the 12th of January. There is seventeen minutes of footage from the game that you can watch after the break in the mean time.

    This pretty much confirms that the Wii is dead.

    • ranulf

      the wii is pretty alive. there has been a number of games confirmed for the wii. dragon quest online will probably be the last game as it launches both on the wii and wii u(like with zelda tp on gc and wii).

      The Wii may still be alive, but here in America, it’s coming close to being outsold by the Xbox 360. I’m happy the Wii U is coming, because it gives people a fresh new console from Nintendo. It also gives me the chance to go back to playing a home console because i barely ever play my Wii anymore, probably because i haven’t gotten Skyward Sword yet XD

      I play the Wii all the time. I don’t have many new games for it, as I don’t have any recent games besides SS, but I still play it regularly for Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, Galaxy 2, NSMB, and a lot of other stuff.

    I bought this a while ago on my 3DS (I live in the UK) and I wish I never bothered. Awful game in my opinion.

    • hogofddyn_

      Really? What makes you say that? I love it!
      Though I would say that the graphics are a bit too detailed for the 3DS low-res screen.

    • FreudianLemur

      I did so too, and I found it quite addictive and fun. I’ve never been a huge pinball fan, but it’s a fun little time waster and I’ve now sunk quite a few hours into it. The tables are surprisingly deep, with lots of different little tasks to complete. As for hogofddyn_’s comment about the low res screen, the game has some pretty smooth anti-aliasing on all the time (even in 3D). Whilst that doesn’t make up for the low res screen, it makes things a bit easier to see. And there are various camera angles, some which are zoomed in quite a bit, so seeing detail really isn’t a problem.
      I would reccomend it, but that’s just me.

    • hogofddyn_

      Yes! Sorry. I didn’t go into much detail as I was in work.

      The graphics are great – some of the best I’ve seen on the system. Two of the tables are pretty much a direct copies of the 360 versions in Pinball FX 2. There is anti-aliasing and it works well, as do the camera angles.
      However, there’s still slightly too much detail on the board art and things (imo) as they were evidently optimised for higher res screens.
      That’s definitely not a deal breaker though as it’s easy to adjust to.

    This is stupid.. I would pay 2.00USD max for this because pinball ain’t that great!!

  • Shobz

    addicting game but the view angles kinda weird and not good at all. (No top view like w/ Microsoft Pinball game)

  • Toko

    This is a really bad recording. Zen Pinball has 8 camera views. The one that follows the ball would have been much much better!

  • Zeem

    Its hard to beleive people are still waiting for this to come out. =/

  • Owen

    This game isn’t even good. We in UK got it ages ago, and I bought it, being a fan of pinball, but I regret the decision. I don’t know why there’s such a big hype about the game. Isn’t worth the money, in my opinion.

  • Geddings

    no offence but its a pinball game……fun for a while but not something i would hope one would put 40 hours into.

    Honestly im a bit unimpressed by most of the eshop content looks more like stuff for kids and such rather then full games that are interesting. the 3d classes are not even in widescreen anymore and only a handeful of virtual console stuffs.

    • daniel

      TROOLLLOOOLLLOOLLLOOL!

  • Derrick

    It says it is GOING TO COME out on the 12th of January. He posted this on the 13th. It’s already out. TYPO!

    got it for the online records and how its almost like a free ad when you use online stuff like this, but the game sucks. seriously the aura aura climber dsiware game for $2 is better then this and this is a 3dsware $7 game. but really, aura aura climber was actually pretty awesome. it was one of the good games in the entire ware shop.

  • Szayel

    I love this game. I remember playing pinball on the computer when I was little, and this just brings back all the memories. IMO, it is a really good game. But if you don’t like pinball, DO NOT GET IT. This game is for PINBALL FANS ONLY.
    So stop hatin. <3

  • DareDevyL

    This pinball game is 3D. The 3D feature of this game makes it come alive! Really, I did not watch the video above, but I’m telling you, this is a really well done pinball game, worth my 7$.

  • epicgameturtle

    The 5th camera angle is the best one!
