    If you enjoy retro games then you owe it to yourself to download Nitro Ball. It's the most impressive arcade game that I've played in years and I'm very grateful that it got ported to a modern console.

    It's a run'n'gun shooter pinball game with a game show setting around a half-dozen-ish levels.

    It has movement and shooting on the same left analog, which kinda sucks, especially in today's crowded arcade-shooter market. It's also a bit short, which is common for these old arcade-style games.

    On the good side. It's fun to play regardless of the controls. It's also 1-3 players and there's a vertical mode, along with the other a/v options you'd expect.

    On top of that, Nitro Ball is weird. Much weirder than Smash TV. Basically, add crazy Japanese mechanics & graphics to Smash and you have Nitro Ball. If you are into weird arcade games like Waku Waku 7, Gunbird, or Samurai Aces, then you'll probably enjoy Nitro Ball.    … Expand
