Normally when I hear the news of another Wii U port, I am a bit resistant to jump for joy as the platform seems ready for more exciting and original projects. With this port news however, I am quite giddy as Zen Studios have announced that Zen Pinball 2 will be released on the eShop this month. Sure, we all know and love Zen Pinball and it’s many tables, but the Wii U version has a few extra features up it’s sleeve, as well as all of the gameplay fans are familiar with.
Features include:
- Unprecedented table visuals and the most advanced ball physics on Wii U
- Trial version for all tables, try them out before you buy!
- Local Hotseat multiplayer, and fast paced Split-screen multiplayer game modes
- Action cameras to guide and emphasize spectacular moments

- Continue playing on the Wii U GamePad if the TV is occupied!
- Robust social features with Challenges, Pro Score, and Team Score. It’s up to you to become the Pinball Champion!
- Awards for each table
- Regular table releases through the Nintendo eShop
- Zen Pinball 2 is a free download for any user on the Nintendo eShop on Wii U, featuring demos of each table.
- Zen Pinball 2 on Wii U will release with a huge content library available, including three Marvel Pinball packs, a collection of Zen Studios’ original designs, and several individual tables:
