Pure Nintendo: "While the pinball purist in me has been spoiled in recent years, with digital versions of the beloved pastime comparing favorably with its arcade counterparts, I’ll always have a soft spot for classic video pinball. And that’s what I consider Revenge of the Gator to be, especially considering the hardware it was originally released for. As a Game Boy title, and a very early one at that, (1989) it nailed down the basics without being too overly ambitious for the handheld. In many ways I think it’s even better than Hal’s later, and more well known pinball effort, Kirby’s Pinball land."
Pinball videogames are not the most popular genre and even the actual tables are now hard to find. So it's a little hard to understand why so many games with Nintendo to bring to the eShop, opting to bring Pinball: Revenge of the Gator, a pinball game released for the original GameBoy.
"Although better known for its Kirby games, HAL Laboratory has developed a myriad of different types of titles over the years, including pinball. In fact, HAL's very first pinball game was released on the Commodore 64. With the release of the Game Boy came a portable pinball simulator, known as Pinball: Revenge of the 'Gator. This more-than-20-year-old game is now available on the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console.", writes Cubed3.
I played this for the 1st time recently. Fun game and good chiptune music
