Pinball games are fun. Ive tried everyone on the Switch, and a few on Steam, but they all seem to lack something.

Finding a decent pool table game is the same.

I think pool would be harder to emulate than pinball unless using a real cue and VR. It’d be hard to have a one to one user interface for this whereas pinball is mostly binary since flippers went electronic.

That said, I’ve fond memories of some pool games in the DOS / '95 era. The duration of the mouse click being the analog to the cue force.

There’s a cheapo pool game on Switch that uses the gyros in the controller for moving the stick. It’s pretty cool at first. But then you realize it’s a cheap game that’s not worth it.

The possibility is there.

The pinball games are DLC money sinks, unfortunately.
