(Idea) Port Balls Of Steel to PSP/PS3

[Knordy]

Recently some pinball games were ported to the PSP (and PS3) like Pinball Fantasies, Pinball Dreams, Extreme Pinball.

I think it would also be great to have 'Balls Of Steel' ported to the PSP (and PS3) as a 'Mini' or something. Since it is such a addictive game I would certainly buy it.

that seems unlikely since wildfire who made the title seems to not even want to mention the game on there site anymore.

Here's what I'd do: go to Crave entertainment. They've done a number of pinball board
ports on modern systems. Show them the tables, teach them the rules, and they
would do the rest. At least, this is my assumption on what would happen. They've
done a set that includes a bunch of Williams tables (Medieval Madness!) and a bunch
of Bottlieb tables.

Or, go to the Pinball FX people, and do the same thing. They have their game on XBLA,
which can add new board via DLC.

but we still have the same issue Apogee does not own the actual title wildfire does own BOS and you would have to convince them to put out the game on that platform and to be willing to ask apogee to let them bring over the duke nukem table and co-publish the game.

I didn't know wildfire was the one to contact. But after your post I looked it up and found Balls Of Steel on the Wildfire website (with the help of Google). So I thought lets mail them my suggestion.

Thanks for the mail. I totally agree with you as it happens. :-) Definitely stay tuned, things are moving along here...

This doesn't sound that they are dismissing this idea. So I'm crossing my fingers it will one day be ported

Well that is kind of a good sign it may be a port of the game with the Devil's Island table replacing the duke nukem one.
