Now, Zen Studios has launched their Pinball FX3, and, with it, a slew of new tables, with more promised on the way. The World Cup Soccer machine from 1994 still stands out in my mind as one of the finest tables I’ve ever played, and I would be remiss if I didn’t admit to a little thrill from playing a Playboy table at the age of 12, like I was getting away with something dirty (my mom was not happy but couldn’t successfully argue against me playing pinball). Long before I could enjoy pinball in the comfort of my own home, I was playing tables at the laundromat and pizza parlors around my hometown, and, even now, still have plenty of fond memories.
For those who aren’t aware, we’ve just unleashed a furious storm of pinball games onto the Nintendo Switch, so get ready, because I fully plan to review each and every table that gets thrown at me.
