Podcasts about stern pinball

In this episode of The FlipSide Podcast, I dig into the buzz around Stern Pinball's Star Wars: Fall of the Empire and why the chatter about a “botched launch” is way overblown. The truth? When you're working with a massive license like Star Wars, the license holder holds the power. I'll give you a bit of a behind-the-scenes look at how these licensing dynamics can impact release schedules—and why what we're seeing is more business as usual than a crisis. I also share highlights from my recent trip to Utah, where I found two amazing pinball locations and discovered that RC Willey (yep, the furniture store!) sells pinball machines. And with Pinball Expo just around the corner, the hype train is in full swing! We're likely to see some exciting new reveals and get more hands-on time with titles that dropped earlier this year, including: • The Walking Dead Remaster (not officially confirmed, but I'm highly confident) • Predator by Pinball Brothers • Dune • Star Wars: Fall of the Empire • Portal • …and who knows what other surprises might pop up. All this and more in Episode 41...let's dive in!

Although there are no new machine reveals this month, there are still two new titles and loads of interesting news for Jonathan from Pinball Magazine and Martin from Pinball News to report in this August edition of the Pinball Industry News PINcast.Yet another Star Wars game is on the way from Stern Pinball. This time it's a full ‘cornerstone' model with Pro, Premium and Limited Edition variants, but for the first time it won't be available in all geographic regions. The final reveal of Star Wars: Fall of the Empire has been somewhat drawn out too, so get the latest on when we can expect to see the full game and where it will be available to play. There's also news of a new King Kong topper, a sale on merchandise and mods at the Stern shop, and details of all the latest new features in the game code updates.But if spending thousands on a new game is out of your price range, how about getting one for free? That's what Multimorphic are offering for the P3 pinball platform as Elemental Pinball is made available as a free download for all P3 machine owners.The cloud of US import tariffs continues to hang over most industries, and pinball is certainly no exception. Dutch Pinball Exclusive and Pinball Brothers have both made announcements on steps they are taking to mitigate the impact of the tariffs on their customers. Meanwhile, Pinball Brothers have already called time on their new Predator release, with both it and Alien reaching the end of the line at the end of the year. With only around 100 still available, time is running out if you had a Predator in your sights.News from American Pinball too where, after adding Funsup Manufacturing to their Aimtron affiliations, there's a new Orbit Games brand added to the mix. Jonathan and Martin try to make sense of the different company names and what it means for American Pinball, as the sale prices of their remaining inventory continues to drop.There's lots more product news from companies actually building games and add-ons, and new code from Barrels of Fun, Spooky and Pedretti.Then, it's time for the latest edition of What's Cooking? With… as Roger Sharpe joins the PINcast to share his favourite Thanksgiving recipe. But that's not all, as the licensing guru gives us his take on Star Wars licensing as well as the wider trend toward fragmenting licences by geographic region. Roger also talks about the new range of Roger Sharpe branded merchandise, with T-shirts available now and much more coming soon.There's all this and much more in this latest packed PINcast episode covering August and - to bring you all the very latest news - the first two days of September too.So, make sure you download or stream this brand new edition of the Pinball Industry News PINcast right now from your favourite podcast supplier.

Star Wars: Fall of the Empire Teaser Trailer Reaction, but What Did We Learn? The Star Wars: Fall of the Empire teaser trailer just dropped, and guess what we learned? Absolutely nothing! I break down my thoughts on what this could mean for pinball fans. Is Stern Pinball really bringing Episodes IV, V, and VI like many of us expected, or are we about to see Stern's own vision of the Star Wars universe? Honestly, I don't know yet, but it's going to be a blast to speculate. On this episode, I'll dive into the past 24 hours, share my reaction, and talk about what this teaser might mean for Stern Pinball's next big cornerstone game.

It's the battle of the big beasts this month with two mammoth new game launches and a third poised to be revealed. So, Jonathan from Pinball Magazine and Martin from Pinball News are back to bring you all the details in April's Pinball Industry News PINcast.The first beast into the arena was the Sandworm from Barrels of Fun's new Dune game. Based on the 2021 and 2024 Dune movies, the second release from the Houston-based manufacturer comes fully loaded with extensive cinematic assets as well as a new Horizon Atmospheric Lighting system, anti-reflective glass, a shaker motor and even a topper.Facing off against the Sandworm is the ‘Eighth Wonder of the World' in the form of Stern Pinball's new King Kong: Myth of Terror Island. The story of King Kong has been reimagined for Stern's latest cornerstone game which features an animated Kong being summoned by a swinging gong. Kong wreaks havoc, of course, aided by a giant spider as he blocks the balls and smashes a subway car to release the locked balls inside.The third beast is the elephant-in-the-room that is Jersey Jack Pinball's upcoming Harry Potter game. With manufacturing already underway at the company's Elk Grove Village factory, what will be the impact when we get the official release, expected later this month?Also looming large over the industry is the effect of trade tariffs – imposed, planned or threatened. Pinball manufacturers are taking their own approaches to the price increases on buying components and shipping complete games, while others are taking a wait-and-see approach. With some cuts in production already announced or anticipated, Jonathan and Martin look at who's doing what, and what it means for the wider market.There are also current production updates, along with news of some people leaving their posts and others being appointed to new positions.Plus, there are new code updates, of course, as well as some new products and limited-time special offers you won't want to miss.Also in this month's PINcast, Jonathan and Martin swap the pinball table for the dinner table to find out What's Cooking with… legendary game designer, Steve Ritchie.

Le flipper, un jeu d'arcade autrefois populaire, fait son grand retour. Après avoir disparu dans les années 80-90 à cause des consoles de jeux vidéo, il retrouve une nouvelle popularité, notamment aux États-Unis, où l'entreprise Stern Pinball connaît une croissance impressionnante.

After last month's mammoth 3-hour special, Jonathan from Pinball Magazine and Martin from Pinball News are back with a more regular-length episode to bring you all the exciting news from the industry through the month of February in their new Pinball Industry News PINcast.The plans by American Pinball's parent company, Aimtron, to change direction were discussed at length last month. This month those plans solidified with the formation of Funsup, a new contract manufacturing company. Hear what that could mean for pinball production in the US with the ever-present threat of import tariffs.Contract manufacturing isn't always a pathway to success, as Dutch Pinball found out. However, more than ten years after they first presented the game, the final The Big Lebowski has rolled off the production line.Dutch Pinball can now focus on their next title, but they aren't the only company building a game based on Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland book. Wonderland Amusements launch their Kickstarter campaign this month for Alice Goes To Wonderland with the latest look at the full artwork package. Will their plans disappear down the rabbit hole, or will they be grinning like the Cheshire Cat? Stern Pinball have been busy exhibiting at toy and magic shows, but they also found time to announce a new range of John Wick accessories, launch over a hundred new Insider Connected achievements and release new code, although it wasn't necessarily the big update some game owners were hoping for.There are production updates from Multimorphic, Barrels of Fun, Turner Pinball and Chicago Gaming, as well as all the latest in the Deeproot criminal and civil prosecutions.Johnathan and Martin also look back on the first Pinball at the Beach show and ahead to this month's Texas Pinball Festival where they will be hosting their popular So You Think You Know Pinball? free prize quiz on the Saturday at 5pm.So, come and join them there to walk away with lots of great prizes, and make sure you grab this latest Pinball Industry News PINcast right now from your favourite podcast supplier.

We are back! It is now 2025, the holidays are over, and it's time to get back to talking about video games. I was in Las Vegas over the Christmas holiday, and went to AREA15 (along with Meow Wolf's Omega Mart as well as the Asylum Bar and Arcade) as well as the Pinball Hall of Fame. I also picked up Balatro. I won on my second game, and I will now retire from the game forever. (Or will I?) Apple has halted production on their Apple Vision Pro headset because they believe they have produced enough units to meet the demand over the headset's lifetime. Stern Pinball has announced a new Dungeons & Dragons pinball machine with celebrity voiceovers as well as a procedurally generated dungeon that changes every Sunday. Then we talk to Rob about my virtual pinball cabinet, and how Zen Studios unlocked the cabinet mode for free for Pinball FX3 users, rather than forcing you to jump through hoops to get a free activation code.

Pinball: We talk all about Stern Pinball's new release, Dungeons & Dragons: The Tyrant's Eye. Video Games: We cover a variety of leaks related to Nintendo's Switch 2, the big upcoming video game releases of January and February, discuss Stardew Valley's smashing sales success, and denote the 2025 start of Awesome Games Done Quick.
