Pinball FX3 Tilts its Way To Nintendo Switch This Month, And It's Bringing The Walking Dead Table With It

Considering that a number of different genres have already made their way to Nintendo Switch, it's a bit surprising that pinball hasn't come to the platform yet. Zen Studios looks to fix that, though, as it has announced that Pinball FX3 will make its way to the system in just a couple of weeks.

The company has confirmed that the game will debut on November 14th, with the initial game free to download, with one table, Sorcerer's Lair, available to play. To add some variety to it, however, you'll be able to download a number of packs featuring various tables, including the following:

• Universal Classics™ Pinball (Back to the Future™, E.T.™, Jaws™)
• Aliens vs. Pinball (Aliens, Alien vs. Predator, Alien: Isolation)
• Balls of Glory (Family Guy, Bob's Burgers, Archer, American Dad!)
• Portal
• The Walking Dead
• Sorcerer's Lair (free)
• Carnivals & Legends (Adventure Land Pinball, Son of Zeus)
• Zen Classics (Shaman, Tesla, El Dorado, V12)
• Core Collection (Pasha, Rome, Biolab, Secrets of the Deep)
• Medieval Pack (Epic Quest, Excalibur)
• Sci-Fi Pack (Mars, Paranormal, Earth Defense)
• Iron & Steel (Wild West Rampage, CastleStorm)

The Carnivals & Legends pack will also be making its debut on other platforms on the 14th.

Here are the features fans can expect from this game:

• Now every table is an RPG. Simply playing a table yields experience points and level advancements that continually unlock the potential for bigger points…and bigger blowouts of your friends' scores on the leaderboards. Strategic thinking comes into play when determining which power-ups to equip—one table might be best suited for a Skillshot Score Increase and Multiball Score Bonus, while another might better benefit from Combo Time Bonus and Distance Bonus team-up.
• Players level up. The more you play, the higher your own personal experience level increases.
• Anyone can start their own tournament. In addition to tournaments run by Zen (often involving fantastic prizes), Pinball FX3 allows players to create and customize their own tournaments, including access to several modes of play.
• Advanced multiplayer features allow for intelligent matching against others based on skill level. This applies to everything from immediate friendly matches to ultracompetitive League Play.
• Cross-play enables Nintendo Switch players to take on opponents competing on most other platforms where Pinball FX3 is available.
• New game modes will change the way you play even tables you feel you've already mastered. Playing a 1-Ball Challenge, a 5-Minute Challenge or Survival Mode will cause you to completely rethink your approach in order to top the leaderboards.

"Nintendo has electrified the industry with the Switch this year, and Zen Studios couldn't be happier to join in on the phenomenon with Pinball FX3," says Mel Kirk, Zen's Vice President, Publishing. "You have to experience the HD rumble yourself to understand just how perfectly it resembles the feel of an actual pinball machine. And turning the screen sideways for a full view of the table might just give Switch players the edge to beat their friends playing on other platforms. We can't wait for Switch owners to try this out."

If you can't wait, Pinball FX3 is also available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and P
