Kineticist’s take
2025 pinball year-in-review: Walking Dead Remastered and Beetlejuice analyzed despite community backlash over art and scarcity.
Synopsis
Josh Roop and Scott Larson discuss their top pinball games of 2025, focusing on two major recent releases: Stern's Walking Dead Remastered (designed by John Borg) and Spooky's Beetlejuice. They defend both games against community criticism: Walking Dead's art package (dictated by licensor approval) and gameplay depth for competitive play, and Beetlejuice's limited 999-unit production run (a deliberate strategy to maintain secondary market value and quality control). The hosts contextualize design decisions within manufacturing constraints and licensing realities.
