Williams Pinball Volume 10 arrives on Nintendo Switch as the latest Pinball FX collection from developer Zen Studios, bringing three classic Williams tables to the platform: Comet (1985), Fire! (1987), and Diner (1990).
Available through the Nintendo eShop for players on Switch hardware, this volume continues Zen Studios' long-running work of licensing and digitally emulating arcade-era pinball machines for modern platforms.
A number of players greeted the release with relief, describing the collection as long overdue.
The standout here is the simple fact that Comet and Fire! are appearing in emulation for the first time in Zen Studios' Williams series, giving Switch owners fresh tables to master alongside familiar Pinball FX features.
Comet recreates the feel of an outing to an amusement park, complete with a roller-coaster visual effect that simulates a train speeding around the playfield.
The table leans on mid-1980s park attractions in its scoring progression, with targets representing shooting galleries, rides, a funhouse, skee ball, and a dunk tank.
Unique lane geometry—such as the absent inlane on the bottom right and inverted in/outlanes on the bottom left—gives Comet a distinct play style compared with other Williams machines.
Fire! centers on extinguishing fires under a time constraint.
Targets light fires that must be hit before the playfield multiplier drops; when players fail, an on-screen character scolds the rescue effort, adding personality to the table.
The table features animated fire effects and a water animation between targets, which complement Williams' original lighting.
Fire! also includes a prominent cylindrical fire plug that rises between the flippers, creating a reliable way to prevent center drains when used correctly.
The table's audio is notably loud and brash compared with the other volumes.
Diner focuses on serving menu items and completing a range of tasks: spelling words, locking balls, and activating small skill shots.
Diner balances its design so no single element overwhelms the experience, making it suited for longer play sessions.
As with other Pinball FX releases, Williams Pinball Volume 10 offers Arcade, Professional, and Practice modes, plus challenges, customization options, and display settings.
Players can toggle video animations and adjust presentation settings, though some Switch-specific comfort notes have been raised, such as awkward manual switching to vertical display in handheld mode and the desire for a future host update optimized for next-generation Switch hardware.
For collectors and digital pinball enthusiasts on Nintendo Switch, Williams Pinball Volume 10 delivers three playable Williams tables with faithful emulation and the familiar Pinball FX suite of modes.
The collection is a solid addition to Zen Studios' Pinball FX catalog and an accessible way to experience classic Williams designs on the go.
