In this episode of The FlipSide, Cale and Rachel from Electric Bat Arcade and Jamie from Wormhole Pinball join us to break down everything we saw at Pinball Expo 2024! From jaw-dropping reveals to unexpected surprises, we're here to share our thoughts. Which game took center stage—was it Jersey Jack's Avatar, Stern's Uncanny X-Men, or Dutch Pinball's Alice in Wonderland? We also weigh in on the $1,000 pinball machine—yes, it's real! But what exactly did they bring to the show, and do we believe they can pull off something the community will actually like? Did they blow their chances at community acceptance, or did they present something interesting that could carve out its own corner of the market?

In this episode of The FlipSide Podcast, we explore all things Pinball Expo 2024. What can we anticipate, and are there any surprises in store? Which game will steal the spotlight: Jersey Jack's Avatar, Stern's Uncanny X-Men, or Dutch Pinball's Alice in Wonderland? We also discuss the intriguing buzz about a $1,000 pinball machine—could it actually be a reality? Who's behind this project, and is it feasible to design a machine that the community will embrace as a legitimate option at that price point?

Colin MacAlpine joins us the talk what's happen at the 40th Pinball Expo and also about his role in Mulimorphic's latest creation, Princess Bride. We also talk about Dutch Pinball's Alice in Wonderland, Stern's Xmen, and JJP's Avatar!

In this episode, RetroRalph discusses his experience at the Southern Fried Gaming Expo and shares his thoughts on the new Godzilla 70th pinball machine. He also talks about rumors in the pinball industry, including potential upcoming games from American Pinball, Stern, Jersey Jack, and Dutch Pinball. RetroRalph reflects on his performance at the expo and the frustration he felt when his skills didn't translate to the tournament setting. He concludes by expressing his excitement for the upcoming Pinball Expo and encourages listeners to stay positive and enjoy the hobby.

The start of another new month means it's time to join Jonathan Joosten from Pinball Magazine and Martin Ayub from Pinball News for their look back at all the exciting news from the pinball world throughout March in their Pinball Industry News PINcast. There are two new games to discuss this month – one already launched and one about to be revealed – plus a radical update to another new title. American Pinball released their latest title with a tribute to legendary pinball designer, Barry Oursler, in their Barry O's Barbecue Challenge game. A dozen models were shipped to locations across the US for public play the day following the reveal, after which it became the star of American Pinball's stand at the Texas Pinball Festival. Just as this month's PINcast was being recorded, Pinball Brothers confirmed that their third game title would be based on the hugely-popular Swedish band ABBA. A full reveal is coming shortly, while there will be a launch party to mark exactly 50 years to the day since the group was launched onto the global stage by winning the Eurovision Song Contest. There's also much more news from Pinball Brothers with some personnel changes at the very top of the company. While not announcing their next game just yet, Dutch Pinball celebrate a milestone by launching a new offshoot called Dutch Pinball Exclusive (DPX) to produce short-run titles of 500 or fewer units. It hasn't been officially confirmed, but the likely first DPX title is discussed along with potential timescales for production. Last month there was news of a record-breaking auction price for a Jersey Jack Pinball Elton John Collector's Edition machine, but this month that record was itself smashed. Get all the details. Turner Pinball returned to the Texas Pinball Festival with a very different look to their Ninja Eclipse game, taking onboard much of the feedback from their appearance at Pinball Expo last October. Find out what's new and how the game plays as part of the extensive TPF 2024 show coverage. All this and much, much more is packed into this latest edition of the Pinball Industry News PINcast.

Dutch pinball may be down and out but therea no way they are taking this dude down with them!

Tony and Dennis were not at Pinburgh 2018, and so while all the other podcasts flood you with their bad beats and long monologues about each and every tournament game they played, we'll talk about other stuff! Pinball: In pinball news, Pinburgh is (very) briefly touched on. After that, the guys discuss Multimorphic fulfilling all their P3 preorders, Jersey Jack Pinball starting production of their Pirates of the Caribbean pin, Team Pinball emerging as a new pinball manufacturer with their first game: The Mafia, Stern Pinball acquiring the Godzilla license, Chicago Gaming Company finally announcing Monster Bash as their next remake, and the latest from Dutch Pinball. After the news, Dennis talks a bit about an experimental video project he did called Creative Pinball Rules. The pinball segment concludes with a game of 20 questions (where Dennis tries to stump Tony in identifying a pinball machine). Video Games: This segment begins with a discussion of the first season of the Overwatch League (what did and didn't work). Dennis then runs through a number of games he's been playing (Prey, The Evil Within 2, Dead Rising 4, Dragonball FighterZ, and Everspace). Finally, Tony discusses the update to No Man's Sky.

Tony and Dennis are joined by Mrs. Pin (of Mrs. Pin's Pinball Podcast). Pinball: In pinball news, the gang discusses CPR's new digital printing approach to creating reproductions, the launched GoFundMe to help Dutch Pinball, and beginner's guide to manufacturers Dennis put together for This Week in Pinball. After that, Mrs. Pin challenges Tony and Dennis to a game of pinball trivia! Dennis follows this with a sort of mini-update to Premier's `street level' series of games by talking about BOM differences between the first game (Silver Slugger) and the last (Hoops). Finally, everyone talks about the most fun elements to pinball. Video Games: Mrs. Pin brings her WOMP philosophy to the video game arena, and each host picks two women worthy of the title.

Tony and Dennis are joined by Bruce Nightingale, of the Slam Tilt Podcast and The Silverball Saloon, to talk a bunch of pinball and a bit on the virtual side.

Discussion revolves around liquidation details for Heighway Pinball, that former pinball designer John Trudeau was arrested yet again, the pricing range currently proposed by deeproot Pinball, the Women's International Pinball Tournament happening at Replay FX this year, Dutch Pinball's announcement of litigation beginning between them and their former contract manufacturer, and a bit about the evidence regarding the growth of the pinball hobby as noted in an article with This Week in Pinball. From there, Bruce provides some details regarding operating the Silverball Saloon (and how pinball integrates into that venture). Tony walks everyone through the next round of The Worst of the Fall (a tournament where you vote for the WORST of any given pinball match-up), and the pinball segment concludes with a discussion of code and what old games can be salvaged from being disappointments and transformed into winners. Video Games: Discussion revolves around The Pinball Arcade and Farsight Studios announcing that the licenses to the Bally/Williams tables was lost and soon will be unavailable for purchase.

Dutch Pinball spending more of your money.

Dutch Pinball spending more of your money.

We've got three topic categories this time, though KantCon 2017 (a tabletop convention we helped sponsor) is the highlight. Pinball: We open with a very brief Dutch Pinball update. Then, it's on to the gameplay footage of Star Wars as presented by Dead Flip. Finally, we dedicate a sizable chunk of time on the recently concluded Pinball Done Quick and the announcement that the donations made to benefit Doctors Without Borders would be refunded due to a conflict between the official rules and the announced plans for the prize drawing. Video Games: There's just one topic, Overwatch's new character: Doomfist. Tabletop: It's all KanCon 2017. Dennis and Tony played four games which get attention: a World War II miniatures game, Call of Cthulhu, Dungeons & Dragons 5e, and Z Gate Crashers.

While post-E3 exhaustion may reign, this is another longer-than-typical episode! In pinball, Tony and Dennis briefly attempt to describe the Stern Pro Circuit (launching in 2018). From there, they dive into Dutch Pinball, summarizing a webinar the company hosted and also the latest newsletter's contract manufacturer update. To wrap up pinball, there is a length update about Skit-B and the Predator Pinball fiasco (three hearings plus several legal documents are digested and reviewed and translated into human!). In video games, the guys hit on a few news items, specifically the SNES Classic console, Pinball FX3's announcement, and IO Interactive going independent from Square Enix. Tony then talks about Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor and Tyranny as games he's currently playing, and Dennis talks about his playing of Dishonored 2, Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, and a bunch of sale games he's recently grabbed.

In pinball news, we cover two more Skit-B related hearings, the latest on Dutch Pinball, the IFPA's announced Challenge Matches coming in 2018, and Total Annihilation being renamed Total Nuclear Annihilation.

In a nod to video games, we discuss the TrueAchievements website's use of geometric mean to predict DLC rarity. And, we talk about the core statistical summaries of mode, median, and mean, and whether mode even belongs in that list.
