when I was a child I used to love pinball. One day, however, my mother died in a tragic pinball accident and I have been scared of pinballs ever since. This video helped me find my love of pinball once again. Thank you for the great video peter
I love how Peter could have used the tier list that everyone uses, but instead he made his own physical tier board and printed out the pictures to put on it
Thanks for spreading awareness about the Ritz Pinball Machine. Great nostalgia with that one. Unfortunately, Mr. Ritzenmeister designed the machine with the height of adults in mind, so many children lost their eyes to the Snacker Shellacker. I had a neighbor who lost both and then cracked one of his glass eyes before his parents finally gave up the machine to my family. I gained 10 lbs that summer.
I like that the main """complaint""" (obviously a joke) for metroid pinball was the fact that the screens don't line up even though they do if you are playing on actual hardware since there is actual gap there
my favorite thing is reading wholesome comment sections and seeing genuine appreciation from content creators, specially patter! feels like he shows genuine care for all of the few top picked comments ( while rest are still supportive in their own way ) and also gets to feel proud of his work knowing its not all going to waste, for me; i just giggle at how much of a dingus he is while still being very sweet to listen to before sleep
my dad looked at patter putting the images on the tier list and asked "how does he make those sophisticated effects? it looks like hes actually putting those images on there"
This video is proof Peter can read my mind. I have been in my pinball phase for about 2 months and will likely be hooked on it for life. This video is my only means of coping.
Im loving this new series youre doing!... but I also like when you test wierd controllers, or play wierd games, or when you make a cool console mod, or make things out of cardboard, or make a cool fanart statue. Really just anything you make.
Bit of an unusual choice on my part, but I found that watching footage of the gameboy games on a larger, well-lit screen made my eyes hurt. Best alternative was to smooth it out in premiere.
Peter, your videos have helped me through dark times. I dont know what I would do without your channel. I can be like absolutely in the worst mood ever and watch one of your videos and it cheers me up. Thanks, Patter
I strongly agree with your mindset on game mechanics. A bad diffficult game lets you keep playing. A good difficult game makes you keep playing. Metal Gear Rising, Dark Souls, and Megaman Zero 2 are some of my all-time favourite "hard" games for the same reasons.
Touhou is my favourite pokémon region. The Pikachu only area. Awesome video, great transitions, and all the sounds and music from my childhood. Although I never played most of these pinball games (other than space cadet on XP) but still nostalgia overload.
(45:00) The scores should save on Kirby's Pinball Land. It has a save battery. Yours must have been dead. If you hit select while paused during gameplay you could even save your spot, turn off the Gameboy and pick it right back up later. Like you I also had it as one of my only games as a child. I love it.
Personally, I've always been a big fan of Sonic Spinball. The fact that everything gives you points, but you get a point bonus for completing levels quickly, combined with the fact that the game shows you the high score table every time you die, made me feel like the game was much closer to an old arcade pinball game, where there might be an "end goal", but getting the high score is the main thing you're working towards. Since it's a hard game, you'll be dying a lot, so once I figured out what to do in each level, they became more and more fun the more I had to replay them. Plus, I like the fact that you can influence Sonic's movement while he's in midair. I haven't beaten it yet, but I have gotten pretty close, and it makes me feel sad when people seemingly don't see what I see in the game.
@@marvelousball No, I couldn't care less about points. But I can flip that switch in my brain and pretend to care if it means I'll enjoy a game. I do it with old arcade games, I do it with physical pinball cabinets, and I do it with Sonic Spinball.
There's a pub in Dublin called Fibbers that has a Metallica Pinball machine, I've seen them many times across the internet and I had only recently gotten a chance to play it and I loved it to bits!
Spin off pinball games are something special it’s always interesting to see how they turn a series into pinball but some are perfect for it like kirby and Metroid and those are the main ones I played as a kid
28:10 Sonic when getting ice cream: *_Entire ice cream themed plot and conspiracy with Eggman being the cause of it_* Sonic when using the toilet: *_Entire storyline on that culminating in a final battle with eggman in the sewers_* Sonic completely isolated in a void with no Eggman involved in any shape or form: *_Sonic having an epic battle with a hallucination of Eggman_* Eggman dies: *_Sonic late at night trespassing on the doctor's grave with a shovel because he's no doubt up to something in there_*
I remember getting Prime Pinball as a kid because my parents mixed it up with Hunters and being slightly annoyed that I got it instead of the other. But I ended up having a huge blast with it and absolutely loving the way Metroid fits Pinball so freaking well also I did eventually got Hunters, but I ended up enjoying Prime Pinball a bit more. So yeah, one of the best mistakes purchase my parents did if you ask me! Also glad to see it on S tier pretty well deserved.
I once had a wild Peter Knetter encounter, I was on a car ride, then I saw a truck with the passenger window open and a fellow that looked a lot like Mr. Knetter was poking his head out the window and he looked at me and waved at me. It was surreal
@@tonymonteiro1081 no, it was an app from over 10 years ago called pin ball where it was a black background, 4 lines that made up 6 areas to drop large white circles in to, you couldn't win or Lose
One of my favorite games when I was little was Monster's Inc. Pinball Panic on a CD ROM I'm pretty sure we got as promotion for the movie coming out on DVD.
I like pinball spin-offs, especially Pokemon Pinball and I kinda tried Sonic Spinball, but I am surprised every time someone isn't a fan of Mario Pinball Land, where I was like a young high schooler when it was released and playing it in an emulator. The graphics look great especially it looked 3D, and I'm a sucker for whatever variation they do for Mario characters. I can say it is a guilty pleasure of mine, and I think my current save data is almost 100%, hehe. I do agree some mechanics are annoying but for someone that is kinda average in games (especially in my favorite genre platformers, especially in Sonic), I'm surprised Peter can't control the flippers well there.
So when the ball goes straight down. You are supposed to nudge the physical cabinet to move the ball. The skill is budging it hard enough to move the ball, but not hard enough to TILT the machine
17:11 My overly serious opinion on this issue is that, when I play a pinball game, digital or real, I judge it as a pinball game, not a videogame. So even if a digital pinball game doesn't have mechanics that are only possible in a videogame, if it's still a good pinball game with good playfield design, objectives, presentation and physics, then I'll probably like it. Of course real is always preferable but sometimes digital pinball allows for some great pins to be made that wouldn't otherwise exist due to how hard and expensive it is to manufacture real machines. Digital, of course, is also more accessible.
I like spin ball. It's like the first thing that got me into pinball. I much prefer playing as Sonic during a pinball game since he gives you more control over your skill than just some other ball doing whatever it wants.
Hey Peter, new to your channel! My bf suggested I watch you a while ago but only recently did so and I just have to say, your humour and content is so cozy and puts a smile on my face each time I watch: thanks alot man, can't wait to see more!
I used to play a Ben 10 pinball game online called canonbolt pinball and it was probably the first time I played pinball as a kid. I wonder if it’s still up but judging by the fact it came out during the original shows run I doubt it
I always want to give sonic pinball a chance, but this video just reminds me of why I always give up. Thank you Patter for showing that some pinball games are just built different.
Pokemon pinball came in a special cartridge that vibrated whenever youde hit the ball or any other obstacles, and when you got the PIIIIKAAAA it would vibrate like crazy
Bro I am such a huge fan of the Worms series, been playing it since I was like 5 and my cousin had Armageddon on the N64. How the HELL did I not know (or possibly forget) that there was a pinball??
Super Robot Pinball is awesome man! For a little background, it's a spinoff game in the long running Super Robot Wars series and all those are mechs from various manga & anime. There's also an English fan translation for the game if you need that which for me I didn't as I'm familiar with most all of the franchises in there.
Peter I am actually very upset that you didn't give Peach Ball a chance. This game is a huge part of my childhood and means a lot to me and my family. Peach Ball not only inspired me to be a good person but also helped me discover my passion for being a pin ball machine. Without that game I wouldn't be where I am now, a popular pin ball game at Dave & Busters. For all the hard work, time, and investment you put in this video I have to say it's kind of a let down because of one single game you did not try. Very disappointed.
Fun fact, you can actually change the controls to use the triggers in Pokémon pinball on the GBA.
Maybe not on topic with the video but does anybody know what program or emulator did he use for the pixels to move so smoothly?
@wieiishere huh, that's interesting to know, thank you!
That's not fun
Tbh @cosmicGaijin, that fact was not that fun
(Only interesting)

have u considered: killing a pinball machine and wearing it like a coat?
@@njdotson beat me to it
Shut up
"HI GUYS!1!1!11 MY MOM GOT KILLED BY PINBALL!1!1!1!1"

in true peter style
i actually love it!
It works quite well. Not only it fits his style, but also there's something about it that makes it more enjoyable than just boring screen capture

If puts in stuff, not grabs things from them.

@@Lucideyes89 Yes, that's why the "(obviously a joke)" part exists.
Also, we both have names that end in "Matic".
Nice.
Hell, I think most emulators have a “show screen gap” option
It's a shame things didn't work out between you and Chikorita. You two really had a lot going.
I know😭
I just watched over 52 mins of petter playing Pinball games, and im still sad the video is over.
Wait this was 52 mins? I can't believe my attention span lasted that long.
@@nixel1324ikr
My feelings also
I love the humor and the editing. I don’t think I really care what the video is about, I’m here for it, and I will be in the future.
I'm loving this new series, especially because we get more Peter with how long these videos are.
appreciate the professionalism of the slightly overcaffeinated public defender look

I'm glad Peter educated us on Sam Ritzenmeister and his Snacker Schalacker™. I"m a much more well rounded person because of it. Thanks Peter.
Pokémon Pinball is the best one, and one of the two best Pinballs games ever made, because I played it as a kid, and nostalgia points are valuable.
my dad looked at patter putting the images on the tier list and asked "how does he make those sophisticated effects? it looks like hes actually putting those images on there"
This video is proof Peter can read my mind.
I have been in my pinball phase for about 2 months and will likely be hooked on it for life.
This video is my only means of coping.
The first level’s soundtrack from Sonic Spinball absolutely SLAPS!!!
Toxic Caves Are A Bop NGL
Don't forget about the other levels
@Stanza Plays: That’s exactly what happened… 😅

The interpolated motion smoothing on Pokémon pinball for the gameboy killed me

I've never seen a tierlist done like this what? This looks amazing man! Good work!
I will say the skill issue thing applies less for Sonic spinball than it does sonic riders though...
"The Pac is feet."
Interesting.
Also, I'm surprised he didn't mention the sassy Cream sprite. It was legendary.

I strongly agree with your mindset on game mechanics.
A bad diffficult game lets you keep playing.
A good difficult game makes you keep playing.
Metal Gear Rising, Dark Souls, and Megaman Zero 2 are some of my all-time favourite "hard" games for the same reasons.

The production quality for these videos are insane.
The "Snacker Shellacker" might be the best, most off-the-wall intro to a Patter vid that we've seen yet...😇
Only peter would make a hour long video about pinball
With a hand-made tier board!
The "Pac just can't do this anymore" bit killed me.

Your "I like pinball" at the end was so cute 😭
Dude I cant believe you forgot Little Mermaid 2 Pinball Frenzy !
28:10
Sonic when getting ice cream:
*_Entire ice cream themed plot and conspiracy with Eggman being the cause of it_*
Sonic when using the toilet: *_Entire storyline on that culminating in a final battle with eggman in the sewers_*
Sonic completely isolated in a void with no Eggman involved in any shape or form: *_Sonic having an epic battle with a hallucination of Eggman_*
Eggman dies: *_Sonic late at night trespassing on the doctor's grave with a shovel because he's no doubt up to something in there_*
The video autoplayed while I was listening and I thought you were brutalmoose.
This is a compliment.
Next, if Peter wants to continue this series, it would be sick to see him do spin-off party games or rhythm games
Peter really was on a “Roll” with this one….my humor is in severe damage.
I remember getting Prime Pinball as a kid because my parents mixed it up with Hunters and being slightly annoyed that I got it instead of the other. But I ended up having a huge blast with it and absolutely loving the way Metroid fits Pinball so freaking well also I did eventually got Hunters, but I ended up enjoying Prime Pinball a bit more.

Love to see you cover spinoff party games next
I did not expect pikachu to be from the touhou region
Thank you patter!
As a pinball fan and a video game fan I can confirm that these indeed are pinball video game spin-offs.
Seeing as you aren't a spin-off fan, I can't really trust your confirmation that these indeed are pinball video game spin-offs.
@@Schnort *gasp* I forgot to mention that I’m also a spin off fan 😱
@@S.J.C._Entertainment oooooh ok that makes you a lot more credible. Thanks for clarifying!
I remember a bad pinball game where you dropped balls in between various lines and there was no way to win or lose and it wasn't even pinball
Are you talking about Peggle, which is not a pinball game but a pachinko game and also available on gamepass?
@@tonymonteiro1081 no, it was an app from over 10 years ago called pin ball where it was a black background, 4 lines that made up 6 areas to drop large white circles in to, you couldn't win or Lose
Even though the ritz cracker pinball machine is a joke, that actually sounds like a really good idea!
Maybe not the Snacker Shalacker, but winning ritz crackers is also interesting
my main issue with metroid pinball is that samus is under fire
Beautiful I would not have changed anything about this video and patter is the best RUclipsr of all time :)
Metroid getting an easy S makes me happy

Sees Super Robot Pinball on the list, nice
Sees that it's the shortest chapter, aw man
As a casual fan of the Senran Kagura series, even I never played the pinball spinoff game. Even I have my limits.
I love Pokémon Pinball. The rumble pack built into the cartridge was awesome! I still have it and still play it every now and then.
Something funny about Peter being unable to tolerate the r/s/e Pokedex scrolling noise, meanwhile I'm like 'wow, just as good as I remember!'
Peter's cardboard pinball table should've been S tier
So when the ball goes straight down. You are supposed to nudge the physical cabinet to move the ball.
The skill is budging it hard enough to move the ball, but not hard enough to TILT the machine
Still cant believe i saw you five years ago watching you as an 11 year old, keep it up man.
Peter will be later questioning his life when he sees all the cardboard laying around with game's box art printed on them
51:23 I just realized how to make the perfect pinball game that isn't a repainted coinless coin eater while keeping the whole difficulty aspect.

Metroid Prime Pinball DOES use the touch screen; it's how you use the nudge feature.
Also get good at Sonic Pinball Party; it's not that complicated nor difficult. Learn to nudge.
