This release just about slipped past us, but better late than never.  We have another entry into the shooter/platformer/pachinko/co-op genre.  Actually, I'm pretty sure it's the only game in that genre. Planet Pachinko was released to Nintendo's WiiWare service earlier this week.  Two players control a family of robots, exploring the inside of a gigantic temple dedicated to Pachinko.  Of course, there are pirates looking to loot the treasures, too, so it's a good thing you have an array of weapons including rockets and slime launchers.  Planet Pachinko is priced at 500 Wii points (pennies).  At that price, it might be worth checking out for the novelty factor alone.  More screenshots and information are available at the link below.
