SouthPeak Games has announced that it will be publishing the Topware developed Dream Pinball 3D for the PC, Wii, and Nintendo DS.
Shockingly, Dream Pinball 3D is a pinball simulator, one that will "capitalize on the unique qualities of each platform." That translates to using a mouse on the PC, using the touch screen on the Nintendo DS, and waving your arms around when playing the game on the Wii. The game will feature six table themes, each with its own ball options, visuals, and power-ups. I'm particularly fond of the "Monsters" table, which invites you to "explore the world of horror."
Despite the fact that SouthPeak's CEO Melanie Mroz says that "everyone loves pinball" (which I'd say is a valid statement), it's hard to get too excited. I'm not going to jump to conclusions, but just so we're clear, you should know that developer Topware made the unforgiveable sin, Chicken Shoot.
We'll just leave it at that.

You're not the only one who thought Rudy was evil. My brother was always afraid of him as well as a kid.
I shall now date myself by saying that pins were always my favorite part of going to an arcade. Nothing quite like spending an afternoon plugged into a good Midway table.
Yes, there was a time Midway made good games.
