    Playing this on the larger 3DS XL screen. Having a blast. The 3D effect works well. You can see it in the demo for the game, although be warned the demo is so short it won't let you see all the fun stuff you can do on this table. Easily logged 7 hours into the Fantastic Four table so far. I don't think I would have bought this game for the original 3DS screen due to it's size. But onPlaying this on the larger 3DS XL screen.

But on the larger screen, I have no problem seeing everything or keeping track of the ball. If you like these games on the consoles, you'll like them here. For eight bucks, these games are a great deal if you at all like pinball.… Expand

    Marvel Pinball on the PS3 and the 3DS have both stolen many hours of my life, the game is fantastic on both systems. The 3DS has great 3D effects and simple controls, the graphics are crisp and the sound is outstanding. In my opinion, this is the best game available for download on the 3DS. If you are even remotely interested in pinball games then you should buy this one.

If you are even remotely interested in pinball games then you should buy this one. My only complaint is playing on the small 3DS screen gets tiresome after a little while but that is not the games fault but that is the only reason I gave it an 8. On the PS3 its a definite 10!!… Expand

    A solid pocket arcade. [Sept 2012, p.108]

    The relatively high price is a bit of a turn-off. [Sept 2012, p.107]

    Marvel Pinball 3D contains a couple bumps, but other than that it acts as a fantastic pinball fix for on-the-go gaming. A few minutes of play quickly becomes an hour with this eShop title, fully highlighting the "I can beat that score if I play one more game" hook.
