The reason why Pinball M is separate is because it would raise the age restriction on pinball fx. It's something they want to avoid.

@IDreamofIndie 7 ай бұрын

That was kind of my thinking as well, that's a shame!

@Fighterfan69 7 ай бұрын

I don't think it's specifically stated but I've read somewhere that was the reason for a separate platform. The different modes seem kind of neat. I know in FX they offer different challenges and such but a mode where you specifically play Multi Ball is a welcome addition. Perhaps 5 tables isn't enough right now. If you have been following Zen and Pinball FX, They have many more tables coming next week (Dec 7th). A Star Trek-themed 3 pack. Legacy tables Excalibur and Epic Quest. Snoopy Xmas Pinball. (Enjoyed the Peanuts table in FX) and another 3 pack that is based on Board Games, which I find very interesting. I play Board Games a lot and to have a pinball based on some of them I find intriguing. I know most want tables based on real-life ones (I'm one as well) Anything new, is welcomed.

Good review! I've been waiting for a Duke Nukem table like this since playing Balls of Steel back in the day. The M in this game is for Mature and not horror so I would expect the theme to expand to other genres later.

@IDreamofIndie 7 ай бұрын

Thank you! I kinda thought about that after the fact and the M for mature makes sense lol. Though it is mostly horror themed so I could see the confusion.

@joeabernathy5402 7 ай бұрын

Do y'all really not understand why this was a separate package? Changing the age rating on an existing title is a nightmare. You gotta implement content filters to appease the pearl clutchers.

@FixerUK 7 ай бұрын

Us Pinaholics have been wanting some more adult themed tables for years, but consoles especially were very strict on age restrictions, so Zen have finally been able to deliver by separating the game to its own individual title, therfore the M for mature. Very fair review but sadly as I'm a very seasoned Zen Pinball player, I've found numerous bugs mainly on The Thing table upto now and unfortunately from recent experience they have not been fixing bugs but seem intent on just pumping out new tables.

ok.. Paid 20.00 for 5 tables... Yeah, I know one was technically free, but I thought for all the variety, it was a pretty good value. I also have Pinball FX and a lot of the tables, but these tables are very nice... Dead by Daylight and Chucky are my favorites, but I do like the Duke Nukem one as well.,.. There was a game called Balls of Steel some time ago that was also had a Duke table, but this one really takes it to a new level... I am curious what tables will be added later... I watched an interview with the Devs... They wanted to add some Mature themed tables to Pinball FX, but the ratings would have affected that platform, so they just created this title. It appears they have been quite busy as several more tables are coming before the end of the year... I have not seen what's coming for the mature game, but it should be fun... I am enjoying this game so far... it does feel SIMILAR to Pinball FX, but different and stands on its own as well... Great video, by the way... well done.

Fantastic in depth review! I get that they wanted to have them separate due to age rating (Even though South Park is on FX3??), At least if you're playing on modern day consoles you can have both games running at the same time and switch between them fairly quickly I guess

This game is named M for Mature and that is the reason it is a separate entity. Parents can lock rated M games.. this game has mature subject matter.

Hmmmmmmmmm the idea is absolute brilliant and something really new and funny, but the franchise decisions are a bit akward and strange. Duke Nukem, Dead by Daylight etc - instead they should focus on the big movie horror franchises like Freddy Krueger, Aliens, Stephen King iconic creatures. And why is there no Alien Pinball until now? Alien is the hottest most-wanted Pinball table ;) Best make one Alien Pinball for the regular Pinball FX, and a more hard and creepy Alien Pinball design for the M-rated tables.

Best part about the Switch games is that their going back to the old FX3 physics!

@IDreamofIndie 7 ай бұрын

@hyperboreen4854 6 ай бұрын

On other platforms people have the choice between the 2 physics, it's just that on Switch it will be FX3 physics only. The new FX physics is way better by the way, it allows you to have much greater ball control. You can't Live Catch or Post Pass with the FX3 physics for exemple.

@SallyMangos 6 ай бұрын

@@hyperboreen4854 The new physics is better, I know. It just that it runs terribly on the Switch though with constant frame drops and muddy visuals. So unless it's improved for the next update, the FX3 physics for the Switch is far superior.

Do u think Zen pinball (which ever platform) would be way cooler if u could play against people live and speak with opponents, and actually watch tbeir game on your screen - like an online hotsest mode, instead of just playing against a submitted score - where you dont have the human interaction. Pinball would then become a lot more addictive and fun because of the social aspect. What do u think?

Because you don't get it. Pinball takes you in the FUN ZONE/FLOW STATE, like any good arcade game. You have missions to accomplish, objectives, and with some practice you start to gain more and more control over the ball. It's very rewarding to tame the chaos and get big high scores.
