Highlights
- Weird Al at TPF received overwhelmingly positive reception with long lines and no reported hatred from players, though some still dislike the P3 platform overall
- Rush has had three iterations of scoop protector solutions, with the latest (Revision 3) being blue foam airbags meeting widespread criticism from owners
- Godzilla is experiencing Mechagodzilla magnet mech failures with Joe Abate providing detailed community fixes
- Merko presented Tales of the Arabian Nights 2.0 but appeared dismissive of playfield quality concerns during Q&A, not addressing well-known JJP playfield chipping issues
- Pedretti is expanding 2.0 kit production through partnership with PPS, starting next project on Fast Retro/System 11 platform with shaker motor and topper support
- Cactus Canyon expanded code will include physical hardware components beyond software download, likely DRM-related
- Christopher Franchi will provide artwork for American Pinball next title
- Legends of Valhalla received inner art blades as deluxe edition bonus, with free shipping for registrants and purchase option for non-deluxe owners
Notable quotes
“You're right, TPF is way better than Expo.”
“John Borg, hold me now, but to no avail.”
“This is a winner.”
“There are not going to be people that are going to get on board with the platform. But that being said, the game itself seems to be widely embraced.”
“I do not contact whoever built the airbag and complain to them... Ford needs to deal with that.”
“We don't always get to only talk about the things we want to talk about. Trust me, I do a podcast.”
“It was extremely professional, a really well-polished seminar.”
“There is going to be some sort of almost DRM control to ensure people don't just share this code around.”
