*Not what you're getting.
This probably wasn't what fans had in mind when they demanded an
Uncharted game for Sony's handheld. A series of new ESRB ratings reveals a new pinball franchise, most likely under the
PSP Minis label, based on various first-party PlayStation properties.
Pinball Heroes: Uncharted is the most noteworthy of the bunch which according to the
ESRB descriptor, is based on
Drake's Fortune. "Players use flippers to hit the ball around a crashed airplane, into silhouetted character targets, and off bumpers shaped like gold coins to score points."
In addition to
Uncharted, other franchises will be getting the pinball treatment, including
High Velocity Bowling,
PAIN and
Hot Shots Golf. Wait, no
Pinball Heroes: God of War? That's a missed opportunity!
Unfortunately, no further details of the
Pinball Heroes franchise can be garnered from the ESRB listings. We're submitting a few questions to Sony (like "how much?" and "why?") and will update when we hear back.
