WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!
It is fun enough to play and is kind of cool for the time how you can play a virtual pinball game. There isn't much to say about it since it is pretty basic, I just think it is a good edition to the NES and proved that it can be done. I play it and enjoy it enough to say its good.
NES Week: Day #1
So to start off the NES week I started to look for the perfect game to start it off with. And what better game to kick it off with then in my opinion, one of the most underrated games from the nes. What is this game? Why its pinball!
Now I know what you’re thinking: “how could you possibly like the really dull and simple nes pinball???” Well I like it for many reasons personally:
1. I can spend hours on it. When it comes to pinball games and pinball in general I can spend absolutely hours on it, and I’m so happy this translates well to this game because oh man could I spend hours on it.
2. Its simplicity almost makes it more fun? I know that’s an odd thing to say but it’s almost true. The simplicity makes it really fun for me and I really don’t know why. Maybe it’s just like how normal pinball is but I just have a really big soft spot for this one…
3. I like the donkey Kong reference : )
Very simple, could play for hours, I murdered the chickens…

I mean... it's pinball. Do you like pinball? Pinball is pretty fucking cool. I first met Pinball some time after Soccer and I caught Golf and had him arrested for murdering my dad. At this point, a month had gone by since that arrest, but I still hadn't quite recovered from the events that occurred. It's not just something you can comfortably walk away from, y'know.
Tennis took notice of the fact that I hadn't really been doing so well ever since the ordeal, so he recommended that I go see Pinball, as he was one of the most highly praised therapists in town, and from what I have heard, his methods have worked wonders. I wasn't much for therapy, but I decided it wouldn't hurt to give it a shot anyway.
And I'm glad I did. Not only was Pinball extremely nice, but he was able to help me in recovering at a much quicker rate that I was expecting. It didn't take too many therapy sessions to do so either, which was surprising to say the least, at least from what I have heard. At the end of my last therapy session, Pinball did suggest one thing that I should definitely do: take a vacation. I had been so stressed out not just from my dad's death, but just from life in general, that he thought it would be beneficial if I just got away from it all for a bit, and just went and had some fun for a bit.
I decided to take his advice and do just that. It had been a long time since I have taken a proper vacation, so this is just what I need to get myself back in good spirits. So, I will soon set out on that vacation, and hopefully come back a changed man.

Game #150
Now THIS is peak videogame
Played on Nintendo Switch.
Not much to say about this... it's pinball and I'm not good at it but the multiplayer versus mode is fun at least.

I really like this game but more importantly, Mike Matei really likes this game. I saved Pauline so I’m counting that as beating the game.
"WHAT is Mario doing holding that thing on the box art? This ain't Breakout!"
Curiosity got me, and I played it. It really ain't Breakout. I don't quite feel bamboozled, but I find it funny to have a minigame like that as the focal point of the box art. I get that it's Mario holding that thing, but it ain't Pinball, and it ain't Breakout. It's just a side serving, carried by Mario!
As for the main course, the Pinball part of Pinball is fine and serviceable... I liked it as much as I could... but...
Oh, I think I hear Sonic Spinball calling me. I have to go now.

Listen, nobody is going to tell you that this is game-of-the-year, but as a fun gimmick on the Nintendo Switch Online catalogue, it's fun to dip into. My wife and I have competitions to see who can get the highest score!
Decent pinball if you're down for that sorta thing and also haven't played a lot of better pinball games.
Apesar de primitivo, esse take no gênero de caça-níqueis de pinball da Nintendo utiliza elementos dos primórdios da franquia Mario para dar uma certa direção dentro da mesa.
É difícil, mas é possível salvar a princesa e conduzir ela para a saída, algo bem surpreendente em um gênero focado em fazer o maior número de pontos.
Fácil de aprender, difícil de dominar.

Vi sorprenderà sapere che... non è per niente male come gioco! Come saprete, io amo i flipper e questo gioco, per girare su NES, funziona molto bene! Graficamente non è male e intrattiene bene. Dentro al al gioco c'è anche qualche minigioco (anche con Mario e Pauline dentro) molto carino e originale.
Simple pinball concept. Bonus mode which is probably the most interesting. It is regrettable that mode B only makes the ball heavier.
It's Pinball if you love being on mute the entire time
I am a sucker for pinball games, so seeing Pinball on NSO made me happy. I spent a long while just watching the pixelated ball moving around on screen with no music at all. It was just oddly fun to me for some weird bizarre reason that I cannot explain. I loved this despite it being another early Nintendo game.
It’s okay I guess, nothing really wrong with it but nothing excellent (I gotta start choosing better games to review)
It's Definitely Pinball
Boring ass pinball table with wonky phsyics.
its better than baseball
È.. é um pinball né, se funciona ta bão.
Another one worth revisiting. The ball is way to floaty in game A but feels good in game B, and the mini quest is neat. Sent me down a rabbit hole of virtual pinball, and I’m excited what else I can find

I did not expect the game to play the way it did with this cover art.
But at least now I know the name of the game I was expecting to play. It's called Breakout.

salvei a Pauline que tava presa numa máquina de Pinball (como essa mulher virou prefeita?) e depois bugei o jogo
I won’t exactly warn you against trying it, but it’s not worth buying, and it’s not worth going out of your way for.

Well, it's pinball. I feel like having more than one board should be a requirement for pinball games, but I guess I shouldn't expect as much from a black box NES game. Was very glad to finally see it added to NES Online (now where's Golf?).
ég fokking hata fokking pinball
I know this is just primitive NES pinball, but I actually enjoyed this one quite a bit. Pinball has that old-school Nintendo charm, adding on little things on top of traditional pinball like poker cards and a secret area that acts as a brick-breaker game.
Very much the classy, toy-making philosophies in game design. Wish Nintendo would make more pinball games.

Pinball goes out what it's set to do which is be Pinball. For 1984 this is a good enough take on the genre. It surprisingly is better than some of the later pinball games seen on the system. This game would also be developed by Iwata which I believe was one of his earliest Nintendo games he worked on.
The pinball table you get to have for the game is fun at the top but I'm not too big of a fan of the bottom section, it just feels a little mismanaged and it's easy to lose balls if you're not too good at the game. It can feel pretty fun to get a big score by doing the many things available on the board.
One of the most interesting parts of the game is the bonus game where you play as Mario trying to help Pauline. Though strangely you can lose a ball here if you don't save Pauline when she falls. Putting Mario on the cover of the US and PAL region boxes for this game probably helped give the game more appeal and made this even more of a highlight for anyone who had tried the game.
Nowadays there's much better ways to play pinball and I'm surprised Nintendo even still rereleases, it even took them like over 3 years just to put it on Switch NSO, Nintendo why?? I can't really say you should go out of your way to play this but I guess I can say it led to some other better Nintendo pinball games that aren't called Super Mario Ball/Mario Pinball Land.
