Zen Studios, purveyors of fine videogame pinball, have just announced Star Wars Pinball, a brand new collection of tables developed with the power if the force. The downloadable game, developed in partnership with LucasArts, will be available later in February 2013 on a most digital platforms.

The initial three-table pack will be themed around fan favourites including Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, Boba Fett and Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Well okay, two fan favourites and The Clone Wars.

Each table features a different iconic moment from the Star Wars universe, with interactive 3D characters, and unique gameplay. With the first table release, players will take control of beloved characters such as Luke Skywalker, Boba Fett, Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano. Players will also be able to post their scores to global leaderboards, experience in-game friend challenges, local hotseat, online multiplayer, and a host of other features. “It’s been over 30 years since Star Wars, videogames, and solid state pinball all burst onto the entertainment scene, and their popularity endures today. We’re excited to be combining all three for the very first time,” said Neil Sorens, Zen Studios’ Creative Director.“Our designers are huge Star Wars fans, and you can expect every detail in every table to reflect their passion for the Star Wars universe.”

Star Wars Pinball will be available on the Apple App Store, Google Play, it will also be available as downloadable content for Pinball FX2 on Xbox LIVE Arcade and Windows 8, Zen Pinball 2 on PlayStation Network for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita as Cross-Buy entitled content, Zen Pinball 2 on the Mac App Store.

We can't bloody wait, but it looks like Wii U owners are going to have to, unfortunately.

Abso-damned-lutely!
 
 
With the lack of backwards compatibility on these new consoles, I think Steam releases are the way to go for any new tables....

Nintendo pace out the core series quite well.

Too short you mean (as in height?) - yup it is a bit difficult to fit stuff into it. Some corrections made to this (as I was in a rush and wanted to put this up as quickly as possible). It's Ride ...
