Rejoice, Nintendo fans! One of the best pinball games of all time has been recently rated, and is probably set to hit the 3DS' Virtual Console at some point. Kirby's Pinball Land was not only one of the best portable pinball options at the time, but it ended up becoming a general Game Boy classic. Chalk this up as a win for Kirby fans, alongside the recent unveiling of the Wii collection.

Sadly, Kirby's Dream Course is still nowhere to be found -- it's my person dream to make sure every Nintendo fan plays that game. Well, with one more pinball game out of the way, now all we need is a Pokemon Pinball release, with an optional Club Nintendo 3DS rumble pack add-on. A former Nintendo Power subscriber can dream, right?

Such great memories with that lil game, hard as hell but fun. Still have it too

I remember I had my first job at like 13. The first thought that ran through my mind when I earned my first $2o bill was "awesome, now I can go buy Pokemon Pinball".

Also, I had a clear Gameboy Pocket, and I thought I was Oprah's shit with that thing in my hand.

Oh yeah.

I'm down. I remember Pokemon Pinball, the first time I played it was my brother's copy. A rare pokemon came out that you could only catch once appeared, and I didn't know that so I kept playing. After I failed to catch him my brother noticed and was angry. I never got a chance to play the game again after that.

I still have my copy of this somewhere! This game was fucking hard.

Oh Kirby's Pinball Land, you hard sonofabitch. Getting to the boss battles took a lot of dedication.

Kirby's Dream Course is on the Wii VC at least; it's probably a long shot to hope for SNES games to start showing up on the 3DS VC...

Also it would be nice to see some SNES games in the e-shop

@scissors
I think something like that may have happened to me, too. @_@;

I'll buy.

But we all need Pokemon Pinball. THAT was a pinball game. You can hate Pokemon and love Pokemon Pinball.

Go to Poppy Bros table, middle playfield. Aim for the 1up that appears for a split second between all the fat kirby food items.

Play forever. Game broken. :(

Yougiedeggs

I so beat this game all the time. Still have the cart, gonna go do it again.

Oh Kirby pinball you fucking destroyed my childhood. I want you back! I want to give you to my children and laugh at their feeble attempts to even reach the first boss.

mix: It was? I've beat it like 3 times O_o I loved Kirby's Pinball Land.

BoomingEchoes

Kirby+Pinball=Win thats all anyone needs to know.

This game is soooo good for a gameboy pinball game.

weazelGamr

elyfant422

The game we really need is Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble. Loved Kirby Pinball though so I can not wait.

AoiHaptism

thats really awesomeand all but I still really want/hope that pokemon trading card game makes it to the e-shop some how, hey a guy can dream...

Frigidevil

Oh my god yes.

Dakilazical

This was my favorite Gameboy game growing up. I remember how frustrating it was when you were close to beating a boss and then you fell back down the the previous screen. Loved it though, I can't wait for this!

DJ Shway

Oh excellent! I never got to actually play this game for more than a few minutes on a demo-unit. I'm sure there are playable ROMs out there, but I never really bothered to try. Will definitely buy this.

DJ Shway

Oh wait... m'bad. I want to play Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble. Pinball Land... less exciting.

GameQueen

I STILL OWN MY COPY FROM WHEN I WAS A KID! THIS GAME WAS SOOOOO FUCKING HARD.

I'm so getting this as well :D Although I do LOVE the pinball game they added in Mass Attack as well. I would love to chuck Kirby pinballs at Marx again.

MC Kazoo

Any Gameboy Kirby is full of win.
