And the more you bop them, the larger they get (closer to the flippers). In the “Super Sexy Challenge,” your target is the girl’s bosom or posterior. Your third Sexy Challenge is a “Super Sexy Challenge” (sigh) in which…you…Ĭome on, after Reflexions nothing can stun me anymore. Getting a high score there (which is hard not to accomplish) gets you closer to curing the girl. This triggers a “Sexy Challenge,” where you’re taken to a small table and asked to hit random-ass things with the ball, like rubber duckies or an ice-cream cart. In Story Mode, you’re trying to get enough points to fill your “Peach Meter,” which I never really paid attention to. Bopping her with the ball is also not particularly score-boosting unless you’ve entered Fever Mode or Super Fever Mode or whatever other mode gets the lights flashing. Yeah, and it’s cute that she reacts to what’s going on around her, but she takes up a lot of real estate and, in my experience at least, kind of distracts from hitting the loops and targets you’re trying to hit. Part of the problem is the gigantic girl sitting in the top-center of each table. However, its layout is the most confounding. The second table has way more to do, including a lot of “mini-tables” where you try to hit specific targets. There’s no TATE mode, which I’m genuinely surprised at, especially because the game recommends playing with the Joy-Cons detached for, I guess, HD Rumble stuff. I mean, they are unusually proportioned tables which makes hitting certain targets surprisingly difficult and, like Donald, I also had a tough time finding an ideal camera angle. Metroid Prime Pinball has seven tables (note: one is multiplayer-only). You get three tables in a typical Pinball FX3 DLC pack, and those cost maybe $10. Oh, but you can pretend there are MORE tables because each of the two tables has different selectable lighting based on time of day or season. He was able to sample two tables, but what he didn’t know was that he actually sampled the entire game. You may have read Donald’s E3 preview of this game a few weeks ago. I actually just came up with it pretty proud of myself. How long has THAT joke been bouncing around your head? The only way to change them back is apparently to stick them inside a giant pinball machine and paddle them with balls while trying to score (please send help). In reality, this means they’re wearing animal-themed outfits.
So there’s a paper-thin story about Haruka accidentally exposing five of the Senran girls (who, coincidentally, I’m sure, were already featured in Reflexions) to a potion that makes them transform into animals. So is it like Elvira and the Party Monsters and/or Elvira: Scared Stiff?* Thankfully, Peach Ball is not nearly as creepy it’s a pinball game, and I have a long history of enjoying video game pinball. I still have nightmares about that “little sister” crap in Reflexions.
Oh, just a little Switch game called Senran Kagura: Peach Ball. Sure, though I’m still going through Super Neptunia RPG. Hey, weird voice in my head, I got a new game to review. I think I have to do these Review FAQs for every Senran Kagura game now since I did it for Reflexions.
