[QUOTE="StarDust4Ever, post: 230286, member: 3033"] No need to delete. Pinball Arcade was announced as a "launch window" title along with a multitude of other games. This meant that these games would be available on the platform sometime after launch but before the end of Q1 2013. Several of those titles got delayed beyong ETA and a couple got cancelled but most of them got released in a timely fashion. A couple publishesrs, namely EA, got their feathers ruffled when Wii-U didn't meet sales expectations early on. Part of that was Nintendo's fault for not properly advertising the system and leaving clueless salespeople to clear confusion about what Wii-U was. The other part of that was publishers realeasing shoddy ports of AAA games six months late on Wii-U for $59.99 with no DLC and piss poor if any online features, when many of said games had already been slashed to $29.99 with free bonus DLC content on PS360. So when EA saw the abysmal sales of 3rd party games they completely wrote off the system and a few others followed suit. Good riddens. Most of EA games are either junk shovelware or canned rehashes of sports titles as far as I'm concerned. Regardless, Farsight needs to put up or shut up regarding Wii-U. Zen pinball is amazing on the Gamepad and makes a perfect sister app to TPA. Sadly since 2013 I've gotten pigeonholed into supporting Farsight on Ouya and am currently debating the migration to Razor Forge. If Cortex succeeds, great, and I even have a discount coupon to use as an Ouya supporter, but it's beginning to look as though the Forge as well as Cotex marketplace may be a commercial failure in the shadows of the Shield and Steam Box. $100 out (with Ouya discount code, $150 without) if I buy a Forge and it gets orphaned like Ouya. $150 for all 5 seasons plus a few extra bucks for my favorite ball packs if I invest in TPA on another platform. I loathe touch screen controls so Android/iOS is out of the question even if I had a tablet/smart phone. I'm not getting the X1 or PS4 and my barely used PS3 is in it's twilight years. I'm also not a PC gamer so options are limited at this point. I guess I'll just play the waiting game like everyone else. [/QUOTE]
