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.
