The podcasters, streamers, YouTubers, and community builders making pinball great, and what they're publishing this week.
Get ready for round two on Pokémon Premium Pinball as Ralph vs. Rudy goes live once again! This is only our second time streaming the game, so the big question is… can we make a run at the wizard mode? Also, it’s Retro Ralph’s birthday, so come hang out, celebrate with us, and let’s see if we can survive the chaos. Let’s be honest, there still probably won’t be a whole lot of good pinball played here… but there will absolutely be plenty of laughs, brutal outlane drains, Ralph getting completely pissed off, and still ZERO dead bounces. 🤣 We’re diving back into the world of Pokémon pinball to see how many we can catch, how far we can get, and whether wizard mode is actually within reach… or if we’re just completely delusional. Jump in the chat, hang out with us live, and celebrate the birthday madness. Tune in and find out! 🕹️ LOOKING TO BUY A PINBALL MACHINE?

Pinball rumors: Stern/Transformers vs JJP/Sonic; whether 2025 has anything bigger than Pokémon.
Pinball: We have no news so instead we talk about whether JJP or Stern will get their next game out first and what, if anything, might be "bigger" than Pokémon. Video Games: We talk about Zen Pinball updates, Resident Evil Requiem, reduced Game Pass prices, Black Flag Resynced, more Ecco dolphin gaming, Nintendo and their Splatoon single-player experience, an update regarding the Mass Effect show, and some additional gaming news. None! Website: EGP T-shirts: iTunes: SoundCloud: Facebook: YouTube: Email: eclecticgamerspodcast@gmail.com
Whelp, Zen has dissolved their partnership with AtGames going forward. What does this mean for ALP 4K owners? Is one party to blame or do both carry some responsibility? We wildly speculate about what we think went down.

Goonies leak, Spooky's future, and pinball design philosophy dominate discussion.
The Goonies pinball rumors are heating up after a very interesting discovery inside Spooky Pinball’s Beetlejuice code. Did Spooky accidentally leak their next game, or is this just some clever pinball marketing? In this episode of The Flipside, we dig into the Goonies rumors, the latest Beetlejuice momentum, Pokémon pinball drama, connected play, Scorbit, PinAccess, and all the big pinball community buzz from the last couple weeks. If you love pinball news, rumors, hot takes, and community reactions, this one is for you. 🕹️ LOOKING TO BUY A PINBALL MACHINE?

The Extra Ball Lounge is where all the best games are located! This clip was taken from my full tour of Pintastic New England 2026. With over 200 pinball machines on free play and four days of convention madness, it’s a lot to take in. CoolStanley and I spent the day wandering the floor trying to get our hands on the biggest new releases, including Harry Potter, Beetlejuice, and the Pokémon machine everyone has been talking about. Beyond the new titles, we tracked down some of the rarest games at the show! We headed into the VIP Extra Ball Lounge to find the Happy Gilmore pinball machine designed by Brian Soares and Reby Hardy, and I even had a chance to chat with Brian about the game. We also ran into Todd Tuckey from TNT Amusements along the way! At the autograph session, I managed to get my JJP Guns N’ Roses apron signed by Eric Meunier and Jersey Jack, though I definitely took some heat from the legendary Steve Ritchie during the process. The day took an unexpected turn when I found my way into a JJP pizza party that evolved into an impromptu comedy show, featuring some classic witty banter between Jack and Steve Ritchie. We wrapped up the night with a performance by the Aerosmith tribute band Draw The Line! Pintastic 2026 was an absolute blast, and truthfully, one day wasn't nearly enough to see everything this expo has to offer!! Next year, we’re going all four days… Instagram: Facebook: TikTok: Email: 1ben.laurence1@gmail.com Disney’s Steamboat Willie Redux: Abandoned Toys R Us One Week After Closing: Abandoned Toys R Us One Year After Closing: Hocus Pocus Filming Location in Salem:

Here's a look at the current lineup of games at the Replay Amusement Museum in Tarpon Springs Florida. (Please note, many of the arcade games in the back where not turned on due to the fact I went on a Monday when their closed to the public but hosting a pinball tournament so only a few games where on) Since my last visit to the museum, our good friend Fred is now the new owner of the place and he's done some changes in the line up and continues to do so. He's also been doing playfield swaps on games like The Addams Family and more!
Action adventure meets pinball in this one-of-a-kind pinballvania adventure. When a mysterious spire appears from thin air, it's up to Jared from BlahCade to bump, spin, shoot, and flip hisway to the top and solve the tower’s mysteries! BlahCade loves us a bit of indie pinball, and Pinball Spire is notable in that is has a single developer and single composer doing all you see here. Very impressive stuff.
