The Pinball Arcade’s Wii U version in doubt again
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Just a few days ago, we heard about FarSight Studios’ plan to bring The Pinball Arcade to New 3DS. But there is another Nintendo version that has long been in development – that is, the Wii U edition.
Some recent comments made by The Pinball Arcade lead designer Bobby King suggested that the Wii U version could still be on the way… but perhaps not. Check out this statement from The Pinball Arcade support team:
Right now we have no concrete plans to bring our game to the Wii U. It’s still in the cards but no definite groundwork has yet been laid out.
That doesn’t sound too encouraging, sadly!

Update: An apology has been issued:
Those comments were made based on a conversation I had with the developer who’s been working on the WII-U version, he was unable to get the console to perform anywhere near what the xbox one and ps4 were capable of. I was misinformed in that I said the ps3 was far more powerful… after speaking to him again, I was told that while the system still does not compare to XB1 or PS4, I was incorrect in regards to the ps3 comparison, and for that I apologize.
Original: FarSight Studios announced its intentions to bring The Pinball Arcade to Wii U many, many months ago. Even with countless delays, the game has still yet to arrive.
One fan asked about the status of The Pinball Arcade on Wii U through the game’s official Facebook page. Unfortunately, the entire conversation eventually resulted in some notable bashing of the console.
After a separate fan (writing in the same “conversation”) mentioned that the Wii U is about as powerful as the PlayStation 3 if not more, The Pinball Arcade dev responded:
The wii-u, we assure you, is nowhere near as powerful graphically as a ps3.
And after some exchanges, The Pinball Arcade Facebook account ended up writing the following:

When we last heard about The Pinball Arcade, FarSight Studios told us that the game was on track for a September 2013 release on the Wii U eShop. That month came and passed without its arrival, and there hasn’t been any news as of late.
FarSight did finally share a small update in a new year’s post shared yesterday. The Pinball Arcade is now scheduled to launch sometime in early 2014. A specific timeframe is TBD.
After a lengthy delay, the Wii U version is back on track and will be submitted to Nintendo in early 2014. Release timeframe TBD.
