Hulk smash new Marvel pinball table next year

by Alexander Sliwinski on Dec 23rd 2011 8:50AM

The Pinball games from Zen Studios -- Pinball FX 2 on XBLA and Marvel Pinball on PSN -- will receive a Hulk table sometime next year. XBLAfans took note of the forum post where Mel Kirk, VP of PR and Marketing for Zen Studios, explicitly announced the angry green goon's forthcoming appearance.

"Everything that comes from Marvel next year will be bigger, not necessarily character specific," Kirk told us when we asked about the table. "Hulk will be the main character, but it will be based on something in the Marvel storyline."

It would appear Zen Studios' relationship with Marvel is going well. The company launched the original Marvel tables last year, followed by DLC featuring Fantastic Four and Captain America (one of the best tables available), and the "Vengeance and Virtue" tables which came out last week. From what Zen Studios is saying, there's plenty more to come in 2012.

Well you're new. The dolphins were still cuter than you burger boy.

Yay! Usually my avatar is Hulk but it doesnt work on joystiq for some reason I can't update my avatar at all :(

@Grimbear13

I can't get an avatar to work on Joystiq either. I must be doing something wrong.

The Marvel tables are not just a quick cash-grab here, folks. These are some of the best looking and playing tables around. Even if you aren't a Marvel fan, I would still recommend getting these. If you are a fan, even in the slightest, it's a no-brainer. Awesome stuff! The only problem is that I feel like I have to buy/collect them all, dammit.

@Uncle Jesse I don't actually have the pinball game yet, mainly cause I like the actual tables and throwing them around without tilting is part of the experience to me. How do these tables feel in comparison to real pinball tables?

@Grimbear13

Obviously, nothing will be as good as the real thing, but these are some damn fine recreations of the experience. The physics are spot on and because it's not a real table, the animations and effects going on as you play are great. The really great thing about it is that you can just try everything out and see how you like it before you purchase anything. If you're curious, just download the trial and give it a shot.

We need a new full length hulk game...

Hopefully when it's all said and done they will collect all of these onto a retail disc for like $20. Then I'm in.

Hopefully this time we will not wait so long to release a new table. It got kind of boring since Captain America released in July and we had nothing new until just last week. In my eyes the Moon Knight table is the funniest to play. But their all good in some sort of way.

Yes.. moar tables :)

loving the Ghost Rider one atm

I really like the Captain America and Blade tables. Zen really puts some effort into these.

New tables are even better then the last group IMO. Anyone else think that X-Men table is a little too fast though? Also, the achievements are tricky on these new tables, I got a 5g on Moon Knight, and thats about it.

Love the new set of Marvel tables -- Zen does Pinball like no other. Looking forward to more, but also hope they continue to do other themes as well.

Nice to see Joystiq covering pinball. Still waiting for them to post a story about Pinball Arcade, which was announced over a month ago :(

Looking forward to this...
