GameFreak: I have never been the biggest pinball player, but I have always known that Zen Studios was the team for pinball video games: their titles have always been praised for realistic physics and clever table designs. I actually know very little about Marvel or its various superheroes, but Zen's impressive history with the genre made me too intrigued to ignore Marvel Pinball 3D forever. After dumping countless hours into its tables (and saving quite a few quarters, thanks to the bargain price), I can say without any trace of doubt that MP3D will please pinball fans... but it's the hardcore Marvel nerds that will rea+lly appreciate the signature style and classic superhero themes.
"Mel Kirk of Zen Studios spoke to BeefJack via a brief email interview, elaborating on Star Wars Pinball 3D as well as the team's rationale behind the postponed release and DLC plans."
Following the official launch of the Virtual Console platform on Wii U last week, Nintendo are pushing the retro content on Nintendo 3DS with a ‘Download Play Special’ this week. Selected Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console videogames that incorporate Download Play functionality, which enables those owning these selected titles to play two-player with a friend, without that friend having to download the videogame as well.
Brash Games writes "Having already produced one of the strongest pinball games on the 3DS and also one of the strongest download games in general, Zen Studios take their established formula and game engine from Zen Pinball 3D, give it a lick of paint from the comic book company Marvel and re-package it for the 3DS. But is it a hero or a villain of a game".
