In a 1999 interview with the magazine "Used Games", then HAL Laboratory president Satoru Iwata said that, because of his pride with how well it replicated a pinball machine, the basic engine used for the 1984 NES game Pinball was later repurposed for the 1999 Game Boy title Pokémon Pinball. It is unknown if the latter game's sequel, Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire, also uses this engine.

Pinball was the first released Nintendo game that was programmed by future president and CEO Satoru Iwata. Although he had previously worked on a Famicom port for Joust, the port ended up being released in 1987, years after Pinball.
