GAMES. metroid pinball

i have recently been going through a renaissance with my nintendo ds. i had it put away for about a year or two, never playing it at all. but recently i found it gain and have been enjoying it a lot! ive been going through some of the old games i have for it and playing them all again. some of them are still really fun, but others i just cant get into. one of my favorites at the moment is metroid prime pinball. i really love pinball games, so i got this one a few years ago. i have no real interest in metroid, having never played any of the other games. as someone who is new to the metroid universe, i wasnt exactly sure what was going on most of the time. there were a bunch of characters and levels that i did not recognize, so if they were homages to different things from different games, it was all lost on me... anyway, the more i play it the more i like it! as far as pinball games go, this one is pretty good! i've been having a lot of fun traveling from world to world with the ball and even finding the level boss. after many many nights of playing i was able to actually defeat him and have an absolutely huge amount of points! metroid prime pinball it a blast, but nothing quite compares to my absolute love of the old pokemon pinball game for the original game boy!
