Highlights
- Toy Story 4 was explicitly designed as a family pin to allow everyone to see and reach wizard mode
- Godzilla Premium ($9,000) has significantly more mechanical and code content than Toy Story 4
- Toy Story 4 has very friendly, easy-to-learn shot layout compared to other recent releases
- Zach Minney reached wizard mode on Toy Story 4 in one game out of ~100 plays with unlimited kickbacks from mystery wheel
- Joel's family (wife and 4-year-old daughter) showed more natural interest in Toy Story 4 than Godzilla or Guns N' Roses
- Bo Peep loops is the most grindy task in Toy Story 4 wizard mode requiring wheel spinning to access super loops
- Joel previously owned NBA Fastbreak and could consistently reach its wizard mode/ring every stream
Notable quotes
“It's a family pin, they want people to be able to get deep into the game, to see everything that there is to see... if you play it enough, you're going to get there”
“This game's already more liked by my wife and daughter than any other game that's ever come through here”
“Do I think it's a $12,000 game? No. There's a lot more game out there... Godzilla Premium, $9,000. There's a whole lot more in Godzilla”
“I'm screwed. I'm going to get so much crap from Travis and Dennis and other people who I've been defending that the game's too, like, not as easy as they think it is. And here I am, one game.”
“Every shot in the game, I was able to find quickly... you're going to feel like you're better at pinball when you play the game because the shots are easy to hit”
