Pinball FX3 hits Nintendo Switch later this month
With cross-platform play.
Pinball FX3 comes out on Nintendo Switch on 14th November 2017, developer Zen Studios has announced.
The hook with Pinball FX3 is it has RPG elements. Playing a table gets you experience points and level advancements that continually unlock the potential for bigger points. You level up as you play and you have to think about which power-ups to equip.
The Switch version has vertical play orientation, so you can turn the screen sideways for a full view of the table, and HD rumble support that recreates the feel of an actual pinball machine. There's cross-play, too, so Switch players can play against "most other platforms". I'm guessing that counts PlayStation out.
