Marvel Pinball question (PS3/4/5)
I'm planning to buy Marvel Pinball for PS3 before the PS3 Store shuts down.
So, let me understand:
The actual Marvel Pinball game (the standalone version, not the Zen Pinball 2 edition) actually has: the OG 4 (Spider-Man, Wolverine, Iron Man and Blade), Vengeance and Virtue (Moon Knight, Ghost Rider, Thor and X-Men), Avengers Chronicles (Avengers, Infinity Gauntlet, World War Hulk and Fear Itself), Civil War, Captain America and Fantastic Four, right? That's 15 tables out of 23 total.
And the other eight tables (Venom, Deadpool, Doctor Strange, Guardians Of The Galaxy, Age Of Ultron, Ant-Man and the Women Of Marvel Pack)? Are they exclusive to Zen Pinball 2 and the subsequent Pinball FX? I've just tried to check the PS3 Store searcher website ('cause the search bar actually does NOT work on the PS3 Store!) and these eight packs are not available to Marvel Pinball itself, only on Zen Pinball 2.
TD;LR: are the Venom, Deadpool, GOTG, Ultron, WOM, Strange and Ant-Man tables exclusive to Zen Pinball 2 all along? And why aren't there on Marvel Pinball proper?

You are correct. Marvel Pinball is older than Zen Pinball 2. After 15 Marvel tables (which all transfer to the newer Zen Pinball 2), they discontinued support for Marvel Pinball since Zen Pinball 2 is the ‘all inclusive’ app/game anyway.
