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 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"
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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
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.
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.
(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.
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_*
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.
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
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.
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!
Rule of the tier list for those who don’t have the attention span to read it: - Pinball video games based on pre-existing game franchise that is not pinball based by default. - No DLC such as Pinball FX. - No mobile games such as mega man pinball. - No web/flash games such as Annoying Orange pinball. - No Film series, only gaming - No games that I don’t want to cover such as Senran Karuga Peach Ball…
I think Petter the Knetter has contracted Jontronistis. Symptoms include: - Increasing production quality every video - Flu-like symptoms - HIV-like symptoms
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
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 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.
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
SUPER ROBOT PINBALL IS NOT WORSE THAN SONIC PINBALL PARTY COME ON. Even if you know jack about any of the robots, the moment to moment gameplay is more enjoyable than Sega Pinball Party. But I am glad I am not the only person that aknowledges this game. I have a GB emulator installed to play a couple balls while shittin.
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
