The Pinball Arcade in the works for Wii U, 3DS version shelved for now
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
There’s a mix of good and bad news to report on regarding The Pinball Arcade.
First, the game isn’t coming to Wii. It’s not going to happen because of technical issues. And let’s face it: at this point, it’d be pointless to bring it to the console.
Developer FarSight Studios was able to confirm a Wii U version, however. The developer hopes to finish the game up “as close to the launch of the platform as possible.”
As was written on Facebook:
“FarSight developed 12 titles for the Wii. Unfortunately, the Wii isn’t powerful enough to run Pinball Arcade. We are very excited about the Wii-U and hope to release as close to the launch of the platform as possible.”
The Pinball Arcade was also being developed for the 3DS, but it’s been placed on the back burner.
FarSight Studios explained:
“We have a plan to get the performance we need out of the 3DS to run the ROM emulation, however some R&D is needed before we know for sure whether it will work. The 3DS version is on hold until we can invest the time and resources into this R&D.”

Thanks to Thaoivu for the tip.
