78: And a Couple Worms! ~ ~
We could use that Pinball Expo booster shot right about now. Pull up a chair, stay a while and listen. Let's talk about X-Men '97 + Uncanny + Metallica + all the recent news and the upcoming Pinball...
Highlights
- X-Men and Metallica remakes will be revealed at Pinball Expo
- American Pinball is pushing back their Cuphead game past Expo to avoid announcement avalanche
- Dutch Pinball shared exclusive peeks of Alice in Wonderland including clock imagery with DP and card symbols
- Jaws Pro is harder than Jaws Premium due to more difficult shark target and additional stand-up targets
- King Kong is a low-key rumored third game fitting Keith Elwin's monster movie theme pattern
- Metallica remake will likely be Spike 3 based with possible cabinet redesign and stereo sound upgrade
- Princess Bride Multimorphic game exists and Jason plans to play it at Expo
- Current pinball secondary market is soft due to anticipation of new game releases in same timeframe
Notable quotes
“Dutch Pinball, makers of Big Lebowski which is for all intensive purposes one of the best pinball machines I'd say of all time from well a theme standpoint”
“If it's another Foo Fighters, god damn man. Two for two, you know, 100 for 100, 200 for 200, just knocking it out of the park. Doubtful it'll be dogshit. That's the pinball party's quote on X-Men. Likely it'll be tits.”
“All these games are going to be sold out by the end of the year. So, uh, come out with a banger. Come out with a banger and bring it to October's Expo.”
“I would buy them from a place that is honest, wonderful customer service and yes, we're flipping out as a friend of the show...if you don't get your money's worth you'll get your money back”
“The premium shark, especially when you're doing like the bounty on a shark, the Mako shark which most people pick first. I'm not a tournament player so don't, again, call in 1800 pinball party to complain.”
“Jaws, give me Jaws Pro but change the shark to the premium shark...I don't like the bash on the pro that you have to hit it...severely, severely harder than the premium”
“I heart permanent perks in pinball...is there going to be a bone claw Wolverine and then you get adamantium and the rest of the game's got adamantium claws?”
“Two months away. Get ready for that. In the meantime, I look forward to Stern's next release probably pretty soon.”
