It's a new year, and that means more new music, and more new video games. Only one game can rip me from my months long Smash Bros binge, and that is the re-release of Pokemon Pinball Ruby & Sapphire on the Wii U. Catching Pokemon via fast paced pinball action is a very specific and intense type of fun for me. Unfortunately, rumble is not enabled in this Virtual Console title, such a shame. Athough, the use of save states guarantees me a never ending game of pinball, no matter how terrible I am at judging angles and trajectory.
