Super Pachinko Taisen is one of those weird little SNES gems that never made it outside Japan—basically pachinko with a fantasy twist. You’ve got these colorful, slightly janky tables where you launch balls through obstacles, trying to trigger bonuses or knock down enemy units (yeah, it’s kinda like pinball meets tactical combat). The music’s oddly intense for a pachinko game, and the pixel art has that classic 90s charm—lots of flashing lights and exaggerated animations when you hit a big combo.

At first, I thought it was just a reskin of regular pachinko, but there’s actually some strategy in picking which table to play and when to nudge the machine. The samurai-themed stage was my favorite—hitting the right targets unleashes a sword slash that clears half the board. It’s definitely more chaotic than precise, but that’s part of the fun. If you’re into obscure retro games or just want something different from the usual SNES lineup, this one’s worth a spin.
