Oh my, when nastalgia for video games just arent enough.

Back in 1985 or so I thought NES Pinball was awesome, a pinball machine on your tv-fantastic...

I loved flip, flip, flippin my way to the mario bonus stage, I played and played for hours...

Man, was I young and desperate for entertainment I guess...

After purchasing NES Pinball on the VC for 5 bucks (500 wii points), I was saddened to realize how limited this game was,

Just a couple of screens, not much to do, no reason to play other than besting the high score, I cannot reccommend this to ANYONE, even pinball enthusiests, buy sonic spinball instead

1 out of 5

for those of you unfamiliar:

Pinball is a 1984 arcade game created by Nintendo. It was ported to the Nintendo Entertainment System later that year. In 1985 it reached North America as one of 18 launch titles.

Pinball also had a secondary Breakout-like mode; by hitting the ball into a bonus hole, the player is taken to a bonus stage where they control Mario carrying a platform. The object of this mode is to rescue Pauline (previously seen in Donkey Kong). The player achieves this by bouncing the ball off Mario's platform and hitting various targets, the destruction of which also earns them points. When the blocks under her are all gone, she will drop. Catching her on Mario's platform earns the player bonus points, but allowing her to hit the ground causes the player to lose.

and then you start all over again...

Sounds awful, thanks for the heads up

Well this kinda sucks ..good review.

Well yea, that sucks. but I would have chosen Sonic Spinball over regular Pinball anyway. To bad you can't return VC games.

yep, agreed, but i dont think i knew sonic spinball was coming at the time

Interesting...

I always saw it as a classic...

Ohh well, its your opion!

I never was around for the NES, thanks for the heads-up, drew!

Good review. ^^
