again, i'm a sucker for pinball
Metroid Prime Pinball is the 2nd best pinball game I have ever played and for good reason. It adds a lot of new elements to the pinball formula that keep it from getting trying, and is able to be just as aesthetically pleasing like Metroid Prime was. If it weren't for the fact that extra balls were hard to come by or more boards to try my luck in I would probably like it more, but as it stands its still a nice game.
Increiblemente adictivo Pinball con la temática de Metroid Prime que funciona curiosamente bien. Muy divertido pero quizá demasiado corto, no le vendrían mal más tableros.
fuck those beetles and metroids and shit

humanity's magnum opus
better than metroid prime
unremarkable
+ the DS screen setup fits vidpinball well, it adds space and tension
+ the ball mechanics feel measured, heavy and floaty
- somewhat spare boards padded out with obnoxious minigames
- the prerendered look gives everything a muted khaki & yellow patina, ew

heard it was good
This game has all the atmosphere and vibes you'd expect from a Metroid game in spades but... it's just a pinball game. The pinball itself is pretty good, controls well enough and looks nice. I wish there could've been a few more boards, but what's there is good. It's very cool how enemies will run around the board and you'll have to nail them with pinballs to defeat them. There a few more other touches like that which are neat, but it's still a little bit slight.
best metroid game
Ehhhh
I mean, it's a little better than Mario Pinball Land, but that's not a great comparison because Mario Pinball Land fucking sucks.
I could spend hours playing this they should make a sequel for the switch
Call it fate, call it a prophecy. Sure she has done other things, but Samus is a ball. THIS is what she was truly destined to accomplish. Now insert that Rumble pak and start clicking them shoulder buttons
Really amazing that Fuse Games went from making one of the worst pinball games to making one of the best.
It's really neat that this game basically retells the story of Prime, with locales, bosses and all.

Em 2005 a Nintendo saiu do padrão e resolveu experimentar um spin-off diferente de Metroid.
A mistura da temática, ambientação e carisma de Metroid com pinball gerou um título de rara qualidade, uma combinação maravilhosa da estrutura de pinball com missões e atividades intra-mesa com ampla variedade, extremamente satisfatório e fora do comum.

When I'm playing this game, I'm having fun 100% of the time, which is more than I can say about the weaker Metroid entries. Playing pinball to classic prime soundtrack while having decent sprite designs for classic enemies is super satisfying. Having boss mechanics for a pinball game is a great addition. Needs a better way at displaying scores and campaign objectives could be more clear.
Fuerte ok
Sometime in the late 2000s I found myself in Richmond, Virginia for a week. After spending a day each on a Confederacy museum, an Edgar Allen Poe museum, and a lovely record store, I picked up a copy of this from a second hand junk shop and spent the rest of the holiday in the hotel room on my DS.
More mad spin-off shit like this, please, I miss it.

better storytelling than metroid other m
Unironically love this game. Aside from being a rock-solid pinball title, it manages to capture the essence of Metroid Prime and apply it to a handheld pinball game that spans two screens.
I've only got a few real complaints. It's somewhat unclear how to progress to another board in the Multi-Mission mode (fire yourself at the big glowy minigame target three times). I wish there was a smidgeon more progression, like say, being able to modify what level your minigames start at, or how many balls you start with (after meeting certain conditions or playing long enough). The game does have an "Expert Mode" toggle after you successfully beat the final boss, but all that does is default your minigames to start at level 2. I also wish that one of the tables, Magmoor Caverns, wasn't exclusive to the multiplayer portion of the game. Like, why.
Anyways, damn good pinball title for the DS, really fun spinoff for Metroid fans. If you enjoy both (like me), it's a win-win.

Why is this still the only Metroid game I've put a decent amount of time into
fun remake of Prime 1 but now it's Pinball
Probably my favorite pinball video game? It's the only game I still fire up on my DS (though that is partially due to my fear that the system will finally die once I start playing something with more substance on the aging hardware)
the best pinball game ever made, but i don’t love pinball or nothin. the boards were fun and there were some cool metroid-y gimmicks. the bosses were cool!
