I thought I mentioned this one in another topic. Anyway we'll just have to wait and see what it looks like before judging it.
Hello China? I have something you may want...that's right ALL the tea.

Naw, they had topics on it at SCU.

And I'll just say this: Don't bash it 'til you've tried it. Metroid is their second most mature and advanced series, they're not going to just put a Marumari into pinball and call it a new game. I have a feeling this will be quite innovative. Perhaps like Sonic Spinball--an exploration pinball game. Only less..you know.. suck. Maybe she got stuck in ball form from a glitch or maybe you get to explore whe n not as a ball. Who knows.

Nintendo tilting toward Metroid Pinball?
 

Flippers and bumpers may be in Samus' future; EB Games lists Metroid Pinball for the DS.

Web surfers bouncing around EBgames.com may have come across a peculiar game: Metroid Pinball. Though the Web site has no detailed information on the game, it does list Metroid Pinball as a DS game scheduled to ride the retail ramp December 5.

When queried about the game, a representative from Nintendo of America replied, "Nintendo does not comment on rumors or speculation."

Metroid's bounty-hunting heroine, Samus, does conveniently roll up into a metallic ball, lending more credence to the possibility of the game. Metroid makes its DS debut in Metroid Prime: Hunters on August 22.

Another game has popped up with Nintendo's tag. Lineus is listed on the ESRB Web site as a DS game rated E for Everyone. Sadly for DS owners, a Nintendo of America rep confirmed that this isn't a new game for Nintendo's portable, but it is the original name for Mitchell's puzzler, Polarium, due to hit stores this year.

That`s pretty much what all articles on this subject say. It was started with this document in the EB games database.

Mario Pinball was not so good. The graphics were choice for the GBA, but everything else was sub-par. Hopefully Nintendo will correct their mistakes in this game.

It's for DS and it's Metroid so I don't see many problems occuring.

I hope it's actually Metroid Pinball, and not just Pinball with the Metroid franchise tacked on.
If I were to trip, would the result be an explosion or a duck?
Will make plots for food.

And now that it's released, we shall bump this topic. :3

It is, DBS. It's very, very Metroid. Bombs, missiles, walljumps, bosses, artifact hunting, power bombs, health orbs, scanning.. s'all there. Obviously changed quite a bit due to the pinball formula, but they most definitely did not just take a generic pinball game and stick Metroid sprites in there.

Didnt I already make this topic, perhaps I just deleted it...

Its not pinball with a Metroid twist only, its 'Metroid Prime Pinball', not 'Metroid Pinball', meaning its Metroid Prime, if it were a pinball game, wich i find strange and disapointing, I would perfer to see Kraid instead of Thardus in there...

All of the creatures, bosses, and areas are from MP, not any other metroid game, I mean wouldnt it be cool to see Emperor Ing in there too, and ofcourse Mother Brain would rule!?

They didn't use bosses like Kraid because it would be nearly impossible to fight a boss like that in morph ball... :roll:

You have a point there but what is it really like? I don't have a DS so I must know before I go get one.

It's like the baby of Metroid Prime, Pinball, and a few random minigames. :P


Troid: No, they kept Kraid out because Kraid is not in Prime. <_<
