North American Release of Zen Pinball Fails to Make February Deadline

Any electronic household device short of a microwave has been able to play some form of Zen Pinball, unless it is a North American Wii U. Today's announcement, or lack of one, means that will continue to be the case for awhile longer. The content available for this week's update to the NA Wii U eShop was missing Zen Pinball again.

In the Nintendo Direct, they said the game would be available for free in February, will it still be free whenever it's released?

It's "free" on every platform. You need to purchase tables to get any enjoyment out of it, though.

When you buy it do you get any tables?

[Rockefellow]

No, it doesn't work like that. It's a shell of a game; it launches with one or two tables, but if you want more, you need to pay money for additional tables. The base game is free, the content is not.

It will be free at first but you will need to pay eventually if you wish to continue.
