UPDATE: Pinball FX now has Williams. Not only that, they have VR tables that are AMAZING.
Totally FX 3. Loving the Tournaments, and all the little details, such as mini games, in the table design.
I love that in pinball fx3 you can turn off the extra CG animation with a push of a button. I just hope more classics will be available like high speed, fun house and bride of pinbot.
Fun house is on fx3 now
We have High Speed II also. Still waiting on Pinbot and Bride of Pinbot.
you can in the new pinball fx4 but that’s only on epic game store and you have to rebuy ALL your tables, it’s highway robbery to pinball fans.
Just wait til it comes to steam in less than a year
@@casedistorted No. It's temporarily on Epic because it's in Early Access. You don't have to participate in it now if you don't want to, but you are provided with the ability if you want to. Plus, you already own those tables in FX3 and you can still play them there for several years to come. No one is forcing you to repurchase them in FX. I love pinball but people like you have made it into such a toxic culture. You have a fatalist mindset and there's no way to please you. If Zen hadn't remade the majority FX3 tables for the new FX then you would be complaining about that too.
@@Z-42 I don't own any of the tables in Pinball FX3 on Steam, but I feel for the people who bought all their tables there and won't be able to transfer them over to Pinball Fx4 when it inevitably comes over to Steam and loses its Epic exclusivity.
I know it's a temporary thing, but I'm not going to fanboy for a company that is clearly doing what's not in the best interest for the consumer. TotalBiscuit would be rolling over in his grave. Zen knows that the Pinball community is already quite niche so they also know they can drain them for every dollar their worth.
I'm not even a huge pinball fan and I don't own any of the tables on Steam or PC, but I am not a fan of game dev companies having shoddy morals to make as much money as they can instead of being fair to their community that keeps them alive.
Just my two cents though, obviously you do not agree.
It is not on Epic because it's in Early Access, every game that goes to Epic first has a year of exclusivity because Epic pays these game companies a good chunk of change to stay over there first for a year to try and pry PC gamers over to their inferior platform that they are taking forever to update and make even half as good as Steam is.
Granted Steam/Valve are not perfect and take way too much of a cut imo, but don't kid yourself that Epic is doing any of this "for the gamers", they're doing it for the money too and don't care about the game dev companies or the gaming community. If they did they wouldn't steal so many game ideas and dances and throw them into Fortnite on their e-shop.
I'm also a gamer who does not buy any Nintendo products either because I don't agree with how they treat their fan and mod communities, nor video game preservation or emulation. But I found this intersting. At first I thought you were responding to me as the creator of this video but then I realized you're just another random youtube comment so not as big of a deal.
I like you informative video on pinball fx3. Maybe I'll get interested in that type of pinball. Your right...real pinball games require us to feel real life physics. Live bowling, golf...etc.
That they make a lot more sense then the next ones is something that's really appreciative... 😖 (Enjoyed this video btw.)
Pinball dreams and pinball fantasie on AMIGA was big fun.
FX3 for me, I love it!
I got both. Both are a lot of fun. I love both the realistic tables and the fantasy tables. The main difference is the physics. FX3 "feels" more realistic on the physics which is counter-intuitive considering the FX3 tables are the more fantasy based stuff while the other is supposed to be realistic.
*UPDATE* Stern Pinball has the feature where you can play pinball vertically now.
This should be better I think! Never tried yet.
It is the incorrect viewing angle for most things like the Flipgrip however.
DuckRotation You’re right, unfortunately Stern only has 2 viewing angles by pressing the minus button while FX has 3 viewing angles by selecting the view angle toggle icon. I actually have the Flip Grip myself so that sucks that Stern limits you in that regard.
How can I invert the screen in Stern Pinball Arcade? I found nothing in the options or in the launcher utility. Can I also use a Backglass like in FX 3?
@@pavlosskiadas9279 Press the "-" minus button. And Stern Pinball Arcade works just fine with the Flip Grip. The downside being is that when you inverted the head phone jack becomes blocked by the Flip Grip, and it doesn't completely lock into place. But it still locks in better than the Joy-Cons do on the Switch itself. Flipping the Flip Grip isn't really an issue at all.
bought the physical copy of Stern as I like real pinball and I got a few free tables with FX-3..may buy a few more
They made a great development. Both are incredible pinball games and awesome when are played into my @promopinball Cabinet.
Enjoy.
Cheap & fun what more can you expect!
.
Greatest is actually Pinballarcade I play it all the time on my mobile phone, so identical to actual machines, and they have a huge selection of them. It does get a little costly though as I have probably spent over $100 buying new ones, but so worth it for the fun.
FX3 is getting a future update that will ramp up the portable framerate to 60fps.
Cybershroom Has this been confirmed by devs? I tweeted them about this but got no reply
The source is their official twitter profile. However I wont believe it until its here, because the devs said in the same post that they didnt experience this framerate drop and that only a few people did. That sounds odd.
Linus Magnell I have to admit a few times it seemed to me it was running at 60 fps even undocked, bust most of the times I played it was definitely 30 fps
The patch is out and it does as promised, 60fps in handheld, and 1080p 60fps. However, the shadows and lighting has been paired back to get it. On the flip side, the reflections are back. So it’s ultimately a trade off. That said, since I primarily play it vertically in handheld mode it totally works for me.
I like both for different reasons mentioned in this video.
sarethums I totally agree both provide a unique gaming experience.
I'm going with fx but I imagine stern must be really nice for those who play irl and want their fave tables at home.
I bought it in suck's shit
i love everything about pinball FX except ball physics. That reason alone has me playing stern over it.
I'm loving Pinball FX, I've already bought a bunch of tables lol. If Stern Pinball ever gets Vertical view and touch controls like FX does I'm sure I'll buy tables on that platform too, but I hate horizontal mode.
It's vertical too.
I have a question if anyone can help me out with some info or advise then that would awesome. So, I have a spare 32" flatscreen and I want to build a rough/quick pinball table to lay the 32" on as if it were a real pinball table. What I need help with is a way to male the side flipper buttons. I was thinking I could make joy-con cupholders for each side. Or order some metal replacement slide rails for the Switch tablet to receive the joy-cons and screw them to the sides?? The rails are like $20, cheap. I want to lay the tv in at a 45 degree angle longwise. Id buy a spare dock and just mount the dock on the back or something. Thoughts?
Had to go with Stern since they had the Doctor Who table.
Fx3 is really good , I downloaded it with fish tales and wizard arcades.
A glossier pinball without physics does not do it for me, but the vertical mode is a huge deal for me, only I wish it were on Tetris. Ever since I bought Poyo Poyo Tetris I thought it would be great if there were a vertical mode and a way to attach the joycons to the side. Isle of Stern Pinball, the experience is so rich with 11 tables that I can play for free whenever as opposed to hustling quarters to play at the arcade like regular kids who didn't have a pinball machine in their house, lucky.
late to the party but this was very helpful, thank you =)
I'm vested into Pinball Fx3 but I'm about to but Stern. I like the idea of having the "real" tables
Jaytee1o4 Both games have their pros and cons and both provide a unique gaming experience.
the originality of the zen boards are unmatched.... all fun.... i use to like stern because it was based off of real life tab;es... but you realize quickly that real just means real,it doesnt mean good... they recreated alot of the bad real shit tables for whatever reason......also if you play zen first and THEN go to stern,the stern physics are gonna feel floaty/sluggish like its on a cloud or under water.... its a huge adjustment
Totally agree
With these games' predecessors on the Wii U, I initially liked the Zen games more. But as time went by, I ended up liking the Farsight (who makes Stern) better. Some of the Zen tables, I can play until I get bored. For example, I like the Mars table, but one game can drag out forever. They also overuse voice samples to the point of being annoying. Of the few I bought so far for the Switch, the designs are bloated and not as fun as those on the Wii U. I'm finding myself increasingly appreciating the realistic Farsight/Stern pinball.
Get visual pinball
Pinball Arcade made a very huge mistake losing Williams agreements after they moved to Stern. Luckily I kept the table purchased. Anyway, on OSx was not updated anymore at a certain point and the sound was really bad. Pinball FX is way better, good sound on new William tables and great creativity on the other pinballs. As a vintage pinball fan will try Stern too and lets see if it's worth it. The best will be who exactly will port tables to fit a real size pinball in digital version.
Great video
I love playing pinball but I don't understand why it costs so much. I totally get they work hard and need to pay for licensing, etc, but there are AAA titles that go $15 and offer countless hours of replay value.
Nothing offers more replay value than a pinball machine (real, or virtual). I have played some these when they first came out. And 30 years later people are still playing them and I still drop quarters in when I see them in real life.
@@thinkhector I think you missed my point. I love pinball, myself, preferably real. I understand how much it costs to maintain real, physical pinball machines in brick and mortar arcades, so I don't mind spending my hard earned quarters on them.
I played a PC one many tables 10 free and new ones were free to try sit stopped at a score or timer i remember one table "Junk Yard" when my PC crashed I dont remember. Anyone know the name and if its still supported?
Tried fx3 but wow there is a delay in the flipper when using the controller. Isn’t anyone experiencing this? Played fx3 via steam and no at at all?
Got to get both Stern tables wont be on FX3 for a very long time maybe never.
Its tough. Pinball fx has a much better interface and the presentation has a lot more polish but the tables feel more like shuffle ware without as much thought going into them. Tons of development goes into real life tables and you can feel the difference
Jonathan Hersey Absolute nonsense pinball fx is awesome and stern pinball is an absolute bore fest boring yawn 😦 😦 😦
Take a look at the difference in table rules between an fx table and a stern table; there is considerably more to a real life/stern table. For most that's a detriment but for a pinball enthusiast like me, learning how to master a table is a long and rewarding journey. Pinball fx just doesn't have enough going on nor are its physics good enough to rope me in
Jonathan Hersey Absolute nonsense pinball fx has hidden tables to discover within the table itself and different challenges. Stern pinball is the same thing over and over again no progression what so ever and no online leader boards. There's nothing to achieve in stern pinball other than getting a high score there's not anything to discover within the tables it's OK but gets a bit boring.What you see if what you get and nothing more sadly which is understandable for a simulation pinball game.
Yay for internet arguments
Farsight and Pinball Arcade suck so fucking bad it's beyond understanding.
You can also use the touchscreen on Zen Pinball to control the flippers if you want to play without the Joycons.
KB Originals I may as well play it on my tablet again in that case.
portrait mode as well.
For me are Zen and Zacaria pinbal the best on Android or Windows...Arcade?...it lokes also great...but...the bal slide to much if it like on ice...I play all 3 on the sharpin virtual pinball machine...and also pinball the luxe.
I wouldn't trust Farsight Studios ever since the Xbox 360 days
I thought stern pinball arcade felt pretty realistic too, compared to pinball fx3. Apparently pinball fx4 on epic uses a pro physics which is more realistic but when I’ve tried it on free classic tables it feels very floaty and the bumpers shoot the balls all over the place, curious what your thoughts are on it?
i bought the cart for stern pinall at gamestop for about 20, Ripleys table lags sometimes which isnt cool.
You mentioned Cross by but I'm not aware of this feature. It is implying that if I buy tables on one platform that I would have access to them on another??
You can play space cadet pinball xp on your phone now, it’s called space pinball and is free
Farsight avoided vertical mode in their products as long as possible and made Stern Pinball "extra easy" with no settings option.
FX3 has PBA beat graphically easliy, but FX3's tables are too steep and the balls are too heavy, making them more difficult. I know on the FX3 PC, you can disable the animations and scores, which I usually do.
Stern has vertical mode now.
Got both FX3 have more to offer far as the back end extra , However most of of FX table has the same format game play , shot the ball up a ramp, up the ramp, up the ramp; for so many diff tables they all have the same play style like someone got lazy and just decided to cut and paste and give it a new name and picture. except a few which are well thought out like the walking dead, the alien series and a few others... The sterns has to be different and play style cause it actually have to mimic real pinball tables and the play style so no two tables are the same ..( can't cut and paste ) both FX3 AND Stern Arcade has great value and fun factor, My favorite is the Stern for real pinball flavor,,,,but FX3 for out of the box digital pinball,,,both are Great and if you had to choose ? ..............................choose both !
At first I was a major zen pinball player but pinball arcade just plays better. Nice video
for sure FX3!!
Can the Switch Lite played on Vertical for the Pinball games?
Yes
I wish 'Hook' would come out some day
FX needs the physics of Pinball arcade and Pinball arcade needs the originality of FX
No. Pinball Arcade is a simulator of real tables. That doesn't need originality. It's fine, how it is.
I mean I just tried fx after being a longtime arcade fan, it was intersting but I hated the voice and the way it felt less real and more like a video game. turned a bunch of stuff off and it was a little better but by god the physics felt fucking awful. with pinball its all about the feel. uninstalled fx almost immediately.
Just letting ya know that the original Pinball Arcade is getting a port some time this year. Here's hoping for Gottlieb's Super Mario Bros in said port
Yep, that's what I had been hoping: A Nintendo system exclusive digitization of Super Mario Bros., and perhaps Mushroom World as well. From what I've seen regarding the non-American releases on the Switch though, it wasn't happening.
It's a real shame, because if they showed it off, they could REALLY boost the number of people playing Pinball Arcade on the Switch. Most people don't know there was an actual physical Mario pinball machine, let alone two of them. I've played them both too. They're both pretty fun, but they ARE rather divisive among pinball fans.
Tommy do you know if the Highscore in Stern Pinball is from other real players?
No one has answered your question. Until now. No.
I choose both.
FX3 is better for me plus lots of discount and content now
You from Mississippi Tommy?
Stern to me is much better than Fx. The game physics I feel is much more realistic on stern and I do own both on the psvita and I always just play stern tables. The Only table I play on FX is star wars empire strikes back, it's by far the best table on there. On stern bride of pinbot and tales of the Arabian night is a must have.
I play pinball games like these both Stern and FX3 for the themes of my favorite. For Stern, I play it because of Ripley’s Believe It or Not, Star Trek, AC DC, Ghostbusters, Frankenstein, and Starship Troopers. As for FX3, I play it because of Telltale The Walking Dead, Jaws, Jurassic Park, Family Guy, and Bob’s Burgers.-
You sound like comedian Neal Brennan!
I kinda wish Pinball FX could collab with Stern or just buy Stern....I want the Stern Tables on Pinball FX. They are some of the cooler classic tables I love like Ripley's Believe it or Not, but Sterns just sucks by comparison. They have no trophies, no Wizard powers to build up, no abilities to host tournaments, and if we are being honest FX replicates real physics on the Williams Tables better than Stern does with their tables. It feels terrible playing Phantom of the Opera in Stern.
Also the cute added graphics to real tables are insane in FX.
100% agree
"What Should You Buy? Switch Pinball: Pinball FX3 vs Stern Pinball Arcade"
*YES*
You might notice, There is no Marvel Content on Switch.
Stern Tables are only made for 1 player so i prefer Pinball FX3, but the Stern Tables much better...
Stern pinball arcade it had all my tables free when I got it new
Did you bought a physical copy?
I like Zen Pinball.
Zen FTW
FX3 has Williams tables so not just imaginary ones. You can buy Stern on a cart and you should because you never know about liscensing.
Pinball FX3: The Best.
fx for me
Personally I don’t like downloads, I’d probably buy both if I could buy physical copies. Luckily there are Star Wars tables that I’ve bought, wish someone would bring Pinball Dreams, Pinball Illusions & Pinball Fantasies to the switch.
Fx3 all day hands down
Pinball FX by a mile!
I don't agree when you say FX3 doesn't have the physics of a real pinball table. If you play tables that were physical in the past the physics is all there.
BITD I loved Theatre of Magic & I have that on NS FX3, it feels great but I don't really think it's very accurate sometimes. I have trouble getting into the Basement after going up the centre ramp, I used to always hit that shot on a real table. I also find it almost impossible to get up Theatre loop & Advance Clock loop (partly to get to the bumpers for the Bonus X) from a caught ball, which is how I did it on a real table :( (that's a main strategy as getting to 8x can really boost your score, I have trouble getting over 4x :( )
Its called a "pinballditorium" lol
Pinball FX3... THE BEST!
Stern!
I prefer Stern because it runs at 60fps, vs >=30fps of Pinball FX... in pinball it makes a lot of difference.
Theo Guedes Stern pinball is awful the graphics suck and I don't like realistic pinball games they're so boring. Pinball fx doesn't take itself too seriously and is way more fun.I don't know why you're complaining about 30fps as I think it plays perfectly fine. Most ps4 games run at 30fps but nobody complains about that.
I have no problem with 30fps, in general, but when I played Pinball FX, it was difficult to react quickly because of the frame-rate. PFX is really gorgeous, but I would prefer it to be less beautiful but more fluid. (fluid like my english is not, haha.)
Theo Guedes You're english is quite good in my opinion. It's a valid criticism that you prefer 60fps as it's obviously way more smooth overall and more responsive.I'm used to playing zen pinball games on the 3ds which ran at 30fps. So playing pinball fx on the switch well lets say I was used to the framerate and it felt fine to me it was playable and didn't really get in the way of my enjoyment. Maybe they should of put a performance mode in the game like in fire emblem warriors where you can choose between 60fps and 30fps.
Yes! I would love a performance mode in this game.
Theo Guedes Well that would please everyone they should give you that option.I think the developer went with 30fps so they could get the best quality graphics. Rocket league on switch runs at 60fps but people complained about the loss of detail in the graphics oh well you can't please everyone.
FX3. The physics are so close to real life
Accessoire pinball sur Théo dule80
Pinball FX3
Pinballfx3
They are both free now
Stern is more expensive and no multiplayer and no extra modes, the 30fps in pinballfx3 portable sucks, but if docked works great I think zen pinball works on that, the people from stern..OMG! See the menús, is like a snes game! And no vertical camera... Pinballfx3 IS a lot better but need a little downgrade on portable for a better performance, if zen do that, pinballfx3 on switch IS a great Game!
Michael Dust I don't count every frame, but Docked works great, maybe 50/60 frames, when you change from docked to portable you feel the diferencie. Games like rocket-league un portable works atte the same speed with lower resolution, this is the way, pinball at 30fps sucks.
It is 60fps when docked and a update has been confirmed to change the framerate to 60fps handheld.
Cybershroom great! I buy more tables for celebrate when zenstudios make that! XP
For the record, it's Farsight Studios porting the machines into Stern Pinball Arcade. Stern is the manufacturer of the actual machines that Stern Pinball Arcade's games are based on.
The update for 60fps is out now, so you can play it more comfortable
I think you don't understand how Pinball FX3 really works it does has Real Pinball Physics in the Games and you can play them just like Normal Pinball Machine like at a Arcade you do need to Turn the settings on though this is the only difference in my opinion and the Pinball FX3 is amazing, Stern is also a amazing game but Pinball FX3 is my opinion is better might take a few mins to setup the options to play the Real Physics in Pinball FX3 you do Know that all the Tables for Williams Tables in Pinball Fx3 are Real tables also. Just noticed that this was 2017 vid sure you know
And if you’re on Pc, get them through alternate means. Zen does not deserve your money, and pinball arcade has not been updated in years.
I'm only getting one...but don't know which one to get
there both free. try both. Also, for the first week zen comes with 3 tables instead of two so you should download that.
go with physical copy of Stern and take the free tables Fx gives you.
I tried both games briefly before immediately going to stern. Stern has real tables, and realistic physics. Pinball fx felt really cheesy to me and I could not stand it. Hated seeing the points pop up everywhere your Ball goes and stuff like that. Stern is more expensive for sure but man does it feel nice. One feature I really wish it did have was the vertical handheld mode.
Also the lack of multiplayer options really shouldn't be much of a deal breaker in my opinion since this is pinball, not a competitive fighter or shooter
cheesewheel Stern pinball is boring it takes itself too seriously nothing much happens on the tables it bores me to death. Pinball fx is more creative in design and has a lot more depth to the gameplay and is just way more fun to play overall.Also pinball fx has online play and leader boards and tournaments which adds more replay value.
Paul Barnes I get where you're coming from. I don't think there's anything wrong with fx3, but the reason I liked stern was because it takes itself seriously. It's supposed to be a simulator, that's kind of the point
cheesewheel My main complaint with Stern is the lack of online leaderboards. Being that Farsight has a horrible track record of updating their games on home consoles, it will probably always be local leaderboards
Good news: Stern will be updating with a portrait mode soon.
pinballwiz45b what! When did they announce this?
Stern had extreme flipper lag for me.
zaccaria
the pinball fx physic is over the top... it's not realistic... i hate it when you hit one corner... it can bounce to the other side so quickly that you just can't react in time and it game over... fun at the beginning until the game physic got to me... it just doesn't make sense sometimes.
Fx3 is way better!
indeed!
Not until they fix the portable performance. 60fps always wins over 30fps content in terms of feel.
FX3 = Casual. TPA/Stern = Simulation. Both are fun.
A pinball game without TATE mode (portrait) is a joke !!!
Pinball arcade!
Pinball fx is definitely better as the game doesn't take itself seriously and is way more fun and creative in design. I found stern pinball boring as nothing much happens in the game.If I wanted realism in a pinball game I'll play on a real pinball table instead.Pinball fx is just loads of fun and very addictive and I like the way new tables open up within a table by completing certain mission objectives which just isn't possible in a real pinball sim.
Good luck getting a hold of real pinball tables at home for around 5 quid...
Paul Barnes The voices and music on the licensed tables are appalling. If that was better I'd be a fan of Zen too. I do prefer Stern anyway though for the real pinball feel.
Richard M I prefer zen pinball because there's more to discover like hidden tables within the table and various different challenges to uncover. The music and voices in pinball fx doesn't really bother me as I'm more interested in the gameplay. There's nothing to discover in stern pinball you try for the highest score and that's it no hidden tables, extras or challenges to discover and no online leader boards.
Agreed on all points
You don't seem to understand the whole point of Pinball Arcade and Stern Pinball Arcade. They exist to preserve pinball tables in digital form, as pinball machines are decaying with age and arcades are dying out thanks to the luxury and revolution of home media and preservation. Simply playing a real pinball table instead isn't always an option. Besides, I would rather pay 5 dollars for a digital pinball table, than over a thousand dollars for a real table that takes up a lot of space and requires a fair bit of maintenance work!
I mean I just tried fx after being a longtime arcade fan, it was intersting but I hated the voice and the way it felt less real and more like a video game. turned a bunch of stuff off and it was a little better but by god the physics felt fucking awful. with pinball its all about the feel. uninstalled fx almost immediately.
Why would anyone want something that resembles a video game on a Nintendo gaming console?
wow theres more micro transactions and denial in digital pinballing than plaine old gaming in general. looking into free legal emulation
The stern tables look crappy compared to the fx3 tables and not nearly as exciting and even boring at times. Check out the Zaccaria tables. Incredible value and very impressive customization tools. Best bang for the buck and graphics, physics, and sounds are top notch. In order of my favorites to play: Zaccaria tables, FX3 Williams tables, FX3 Zen Studios original tables, Stern tables dead last.
DO NOT GET ANYTHING FROM FARSIGHT!!!!Especially if it's on console, Farsight does not care about consoles.... They are months and years behind on tables, they don't fix things that are broken or buggy on console, in fact they make things worse when they do try to fix something.... Case in point, they released an update and patch, the ONLY update and patch mind you for the PS4 in 2017.... ONLY ONE, and it messed up the lighting and broke other things, they acknowledged the issues with the lighting and tables being broken and kept saying it would be fixed "soon"...
Then they said it would be out late Nov or early Dec, then pushed it back till before Xmas, then once again pushed it back till January... Maybe....
Stern is awfull on steam. It don't feel realistic atall, its like the ball is crawling up by itself. Besides that the graphic and sounds are awfull aswell.
I go FX3, The only thing i really hate about FX3 on switch its not 1080p docked which means it looks ;bad on a big ass TV.
Maxitsu24 I had read a lot of bad reviews for stern on steam as well..... This was after I played it on switch. I didn't understand the criticisms myself, because after playing it on switch I thought it was a really solid experience.
Hey if you like it go for it and enjoy it, keep playing & having fun. That matters. Its just "my" opinion or my view on that game.
So in my opinion i don't like the graphics, gameplay and sound. Stern is listed as "real machines" and "real physics" I don't agree after playing it. apart from that i had some issue and bugs (on PC) Dev contacted me for help which is good. But since i didn't like the game i was not intrested to invest more time into it.
From what i hear it runs on the switch at 60fp unlike FX3 at 30
Maxitsu24 I'm definitely not trying to say you're wrong at all. I just haven't really come across any major issues so far, so i just have trouble understanding where people's criticisms are coming from when they say it's "buggy" and whatnot.
Also, real physics are hard to replicate so I go into these kinds of games not expecting it to be completely identical to the real deal, but I think that stern feels pretty legit for the most part. I really like the analogue nudge controls. Can't say much about physics on FX3 since I only played it a bit before going to stern. However, I did really notice the framerate difference between the two. I'm not a huge framerate elitist or anything, but the 60fps sure is better to have for something like a pinball game
"Real physics" I'm not too sure about, but "real machines" is the truth. Every table on Stern Pinball Arcade is a digital re-creation of an existing physical pinball machine, which ranges from Phantom of the Opera in 1980 to Ghostbusters from 2016.
That's actually the reason for a lot of that "awful sound": Most of these machines, with the exceptions of Mustang, High Roller Casino, and Ghostbusters, were made during the 80's and 90's, when sound technology for games was still incredibly low-quality. When it comes to stuff like Last Action Hero or Starship Troopers, there really aren't any other options short of taking the sound clips from the source material itself (which will get a lot of complaints from the purists that Stern Pinball Arcade is aimed at).
Regular Pinball Arcade has been released for the Switch in Australia, Europe, and...somewhere else I've forgotten. That has a much wider collection of machines, nearly all of them classics from the 60's to the late 90's (though YMMV for some of the more maligned ones, like Victory and Fish Tales).
Looks good on my 55 inch TV.
You are comparing Realty Pinball Tables and Fantasy Pinball Tables
Stern is way better IMO
luciobarbarino I disagree.
I agree! Fx3 is fake bs.
SaveTheHedgehog Fx3 is fun stern pinball is boring yawn 😦 😦 💤 💤 💤
TPA/Stern tables for pinball simulation and pros (yes, being a pinball pro is a real thing). FX3 is for more casual. I started out playing only FX3. I've taken a liking for The Pinball Arcade as the tables and modes are much deeper and more challenging. Both are fun though.
You find pinball machines in a place called “arcades”! Where are you from boomer?
I deleted Stern Pinball Arcade on the Switch when I found out I could just get their exclusive tables in The Pinball Arcade when it finally released. So yeah, Stern Pinball Arcade was a waste of money and the feedback from gamers stating that it was dead at that point were indeed correct. So it had no real reason to even come to the Switch with the state it was in back then!

Farsight only constantly updates PC and Mobile platforms. Every month they have new tables and new patches and bug fixes on PC and Mobile devices... They sold us on PS4 the season 6 package and they STILL haven't released all the tables in season 6 on PS4 even though they are at the very end of season 7 on PC and Mobile platforms... Zen is far superior with their Pinball FX3 and they release content on ALL devices and platforms at the same time... They are making their tables to be more like real tables, but with just enough crazy effects, they also have better physics than Farsight... Farsight is very floaty and can just nudge a hundred times and that is not something you can do as easy or as much in real life.... So definitely stay away from Farsight...
Ramps look fake AF in Pinball Arcade. Not even a question, Pinball FX all the way. The Stern Pinball Arcade looks like balls. Just lazy and outdated.
@Tony A. What do you play?
