Hardcore Gamer: The original version came out back in 2003 for the GBA and had a much better grasp of fun than the first Pokémon Pinball for Game Boy Color. The Wii U Virtual Console version has been available in Japan since earlier in the month but it’s coming to North America.
Omar Writes: New Pokemon Snap is exciting, but there are many other Pokemon spinoffs that deserve a new title. Here are the six most deserving Pokemon spinoffs.
I just want a direct remake of gen 2 and not like the let's go series. I want a real remake of gold or silver version on switch.
We all know the amount of influence the Pokémon franchise has over video games. It’s one of the largest, most successful series of games in history and it all started on the Game Boy. Throughout its evolution, Pokémon has expanded its pocket-sized power from RPG to pinball. Pokémon Pinball started out for Game Boy Color but with advancements in technology and new generations of Pokémon, its pinballing also expanded to the Game Boy Advance. This is when Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire was released and came chock-full of more fun than its predecessor.
Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire is available on the Wii U Virtual Console today. The Game Boy Advance game costs $7.99.
Also available today is Bionic Commando: Elite Forces for the 3DS Virtual Console. This is a Game Boy Color game that costs $5.99.
A bunch of games are also on sale on the eShop for both platforms, including Shovel Knight, which is discounted by 33%.
Sweet. Might actually snag this. Pokemon Pinball is a ton of fun.
Awesome! Now, bring the original Pokemon Pinball to the VC!
