Have you ever wanted to turn your Nintendo Switch i♌nto a pinball machine? Well, if you have a 3D printer, now you cꦺan.
Pinball isn’t a huge deal for most gamers, but there’s a certain segment of the gaming populace that just loves the retro feel of a real pinball table. Getting one of those is getting harder and harder these days as pinball tables can cost upwards of thousands of dollars (and even 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:mini virtual tables aren’t cheap), so most are turning to cheaper alternatives.
The Nintendo Switch has a digital pinball game that you can get called The Pinball Arcade that does most of the♕ job of recreating that pinball feel, but it do🍎esn’t quite nail it. Shoulder bumpers just don’t feel the same. That’s why Tommy Williamson of the YouTube channel Nerds&Makers decided to do something about it.
His plan? Turn the Nintendo Switch into a pinball machine. His ingredients? A standard Nintendo Switch, a flatscreen ไTV, a table, and a ඣ3D printer.
Since Pinball Arcade has a portrait mode that allows you to play with the game displayed vertically instead of horizontally, all you need to do is lay a TV down flat🎶 in order to get most of the way to a true pinball table. But thಌe remaining 50% needs some authentic pinball machine buttons, and for that, Williamson turns to the 3D printer.
By creating a set of special holders, Williamson turns regular Switch Joy-Cons into actual pinball machine buttons. The holder is essentially a big black box that spans the wi🍒dth of the TV and has slots where the Joy-Cons can be inserted. A pair of spring-loaded buttons have actuator arms that will hit the bumpers whenever they’re depre🧔ssed. You can even lean on the holder like you would an actual pinball table thanks to the heavy construction.
Just don’t lean too hard or you might knock your♔ T🌳V off the table.
You can download the Joy-Con holder off of if y🐲ou’ve got a 3D printer. If you don’t, you’ll sadly have to cludge your own solution or shell out for an actual pinball table.
