Pinball Magazine & Pinball News PINcast November 2023 recap + David Fix interview on American Pinball

It’s the final PINcast of 2023 and it’s a whopper, as Jonathan Joosten from Pinball Magazine and Martin Ayub from Pinball News are joined by David Fix, Executive Vice President of American Pinball. David discusses the state of the company as they move towards year end, the big push to get Galactic Tank Force Signature Editions in front of buyers in time for the holidays, the next four games they have in development, both licensed and original-themed, including one with a special place in the team’s hearts, a special company discount only available for the next ten days, while also addressing some of the more wild speculation on social media. While there weren’t any new physical games launched this month, there was a brand new title for Multimorphic’s P3 system, plus a huge number of software updates for existing games, adding new wizard modes, new challenges, new achievement badges to collect, lots of rule enhancements and many more improvements. It’s Back-to-the-Future as older titles get re-run, while it’s also ‘Topper Time’ with original manufacturer and third-party toppers launched for many different titles. With some games slated to have unique toppers from up to three different companies, it seems no pinball is complete without an interactive contraption sitting on the backbox. Martin and Jonathan were also at the Dutch Pinball Open Expo in Veldhoven near Eindhoven, reporting and hosting two editions of their So You Think You Know Pinball? prize quiz. Dutch Pinball also had a big presence there with The Big Lebowski, but were there also some clues about their upcoming second game announcement? There’s also all the latest news, production updates and announcements from every current or wannabe pinball manufacturer, including the possibility of a new title being announced within the next few weeks. It’s all packed into this month’s brand new, extended PINcast.
