Zen Studios have a long track record of making pinball games, so it can only be a good thing for pinball fans that they're bringing Zen Pinball 2 onto the Wii U eShop in North America and Europe.

Better yet, the game will be a free download with free trials of all tables. After trying tables out, they can then be purchased as DLC. Here's a list of tables:

Zen Pinball 2 tables
• Classic Pack: Tesla, El Dorado, V12 and Shaman.
• Marvel Pinball featuring Spider-Man, Wolverine, Blade and Iron Man.
• Marvel Pinball: Avengers Chronicles featuring Marvel's The Avengers, Infinity Gauntlet, World War Hulk, Fear Itself.
• Marvel Pinball: Vengeance and Virtue featuring X-Men, Thor, Ghost Rider, Moon Knight.
• Individual DLC Tables: Excalibur, Earth Defense, Sorcerer's Lair, Paranormal, Mars, Epic Quest, Plants vs. Zombies, Fantastic Four, Captain America.

That's a lot of tables, you must agree. Several GamePad features are supported too - like using the touch screen to control the plunger. National and worldwide leaderboards will be maintained to track the best players. You can also take a break from the TV and just use the GamePad to play, as is common in other Wii U games.

Here's a trailer:

Zen's official blog says the game will be out sometime this month, so the pinball wizards out there won't have long to wait.
