If you look on the right side of their site, it says it's coming soon to Windows:
http://marvelpinball.com/

Also, IGN has a page set up for the PC version and it's says the release date is "TBA 2012"
http://pc.ign.com/ob...113/113990.html

This is good news because it's pretty fun on 360/PS3, plus there are four new Marvel tables coming this winter, and it's coming to iPhone/Android/Vita as well.

One of us smells like a tart's handkerchief. Afraid it's me. Sorry about that, old boy.

But you bothered yourself to comment? rolleyes.gif

I just hope they are smart enough to make options for table rotation.

It's only $10 on 360 for 4 original tables (Wolverine, Spiderman, Iron Man, and Blade), which is a very good deal. Plus there are two extra tables you can buy for like $2.50 a piece (Captain America and Fantastic 4), and they're releasing 4 new tables this winter (so far they've revealed Ghost Rider as one of the four).

Agreed. That would be nice to see. These tables really are fun on the 360/PS3, the physics are pretty good, and you can disable a lot of the arcadey elements (ball trails, pop up scores, etc.). Personally I really like the character animations because it adds to the experience (the fight scenes are pretty amazing), but they may be too flashy for some people. I like the extra eye candy though.

Zen is bringing their pinball to iOS next week:

QUOTE (crackervizzo;17472)
Zen Pinball iOS will be available for iPad, iPod Touch and iPhone 4 starting next week!

If you are at all familiar with Pinball FX2, then you know how this will work: Zen Pinball on iOS is a FREE pinball platform download for everyone. Included in the download is a FREE table - Sorcerer's Lair - which users can play as long as they want, no strings attached.

All other tables will be individual in-app purchases.

Table selection will be a mix of Zen's original designs and the Marvel series. There will be a total of three tables at launch including Sorcerer's Lair.

Some key features:

- Achievements – powered by Open Feint
- Game Center enabled
- Leader Boards – Global leader boards and local high scores
- Rule Sheet – Each table comes equipped with a rule sheet providing tips and tricks to help you boost your score
- Hot Seat Multiplayer – Pass the game around to friends as you compete with each other for the top pinball wizard

We will let you know when the game is live next week!

Right now there no free pinball games for iOS from them. I checked. But can't wait next week though.

In my opinion Zen is creating way too much Marvel themed games. I would rather see they put their efforts in different themed tables.

Same goes for Stern Pinball too.

Yeah you're right on that. Maybe their rights can be purchased relatively cheap related to pinball? Luckely there are a few other pinball companies working on unique themed tables, like "The Wizard of Oz" (Jersey Jack Pinball), "Whoa Nellie! Big Juicy Melons" (Whizbang Pinball) and "Ben Heck's Zombie Adventureland" (Pinball Inventor (John Popadiuk)). I don't know how sure we can be about the last one of these three. Any upcoming tables missing? smile.gif

there was John Pop's Magic Girl, he made / is making 13 of those or something.


Avatar, Rolling Stones, Tron.... we were seeing a break from the superhero themes, marvel or not from stern. Then they threw transformers all in our face sad.gif

Zen is giving away Sorcerer's Lair for free on iOS, so it's good to see they're starting with a non-superhero table next week.

Also, it's coming to Android next week as well (as long as you have a device with a Tegra chip):

Tron: Legacy is a Marvel Comics title as well, just as Transformers and Iron Man. This means that 3 out of the 6 tables currently sold by Stern are Marvel Comics titles.

The Magic Girl table has already been cancelled and is being replaced by the "Ben Heck's Zombie Adventureland" project. A first backglass sketch for this table has already been made public. It could be a very interesting project, but we haven't seen too much of John Popadiuk in the last years apart from the Zizzle Arcade Pinball machines ... Furthermore it seems that Mr Pinball stays working on the remake of "Medieval Madness" in cooperation with Planetary Pinball Supply. The other two projects of Mr. Pinball, "The Crocodile Hunter Outback Adventure" and the remake of "Cactus Canyon" seem finally to be cancelled. Maybe we should have a seperate thread for upcoming tables? biggrin.gif

I guess I'll have to break down and buy an Ipad. And then next week Apple will come out with a new one and my old version won't work with newer tables, and I'll have to buy a new one. And so on, and so on, and so on....... dry.gif

Or you could save money and just get an Android tablet, since Zen is releasing it on both platforms next week.

Is there an Android tablet you would recommend?

One of the big problems is the the new AC/DC pinball and Slayer pinball have only been released on Ipad. If I am going to buy a tablet, it will have to have those as well.

EDIT: I commented about an Android version of Slayer and AC/DC and the only thing they said was "Soon".
