Kineticist’s take
TNA 2.0 launched at $8,995; sold 100+ in minutes but faced pricing backlash on Pinside.
Synopsis
The Triple Drain hosts discuss the September 1st re-release of Spooky Pinball's TNA 2.0 at $8,995 (approximately $10,000 with tax/shipping), sharing personal ownership experiences and analyzing community reception. They examine the significant price increase from the original ~$6,000 launch price, contextualize secondary market pricing ($8,500-$9,500 for used originals), and note that the game sold 100+ units in the first 2-4 minutes despite mixed community sentiment about the premium pricing. The hosts emphasize that TNA's success depends on connecting with players who value its co-op gameplay and immersive audio/light show design rather than broad market appeal.
