Zen brings Pinball FX3 to the Nintendo Switch just in time for the holidays. It’s been awhile since I checked out their new tables and looks like some impressive licenses: Aliens, E.T., Back to the Future, Bob’s Burgers, and Archer to name a few; all  of which are available on Switch.

Another spiritual successor, this game is from former Rare employees that worked on the Banjo-Kazooie titles.  It received mixed reviews for being too true to it’s old skool Nintendo 64 roots and not bothering to modernize. Will be interesting to see what the new generation of gamers think.

This title was one of the last games to ship on the PS2 when the PS3 hit stores, so while it had much critical acclaim it never sold very well.  Now 10 years later it's hitting like the latest gen with 4K resolution for the PS4.
