The Pinball Arcade is coming to the New 3DS, according to lead designer Bobby King. King told Family Gamer TV that the team now has “the processing power with the New 3DS to publish all the tables there”, and the goal is to launch it this year.

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.
