BTTF2 (Hype) Great Scott! Post #126 in topic
Posted over 3 years ago by djsoup – in Stern Pinball ‐ Last reply today
Pretty sure it's godzilla 2nd week of May, followed by BTTF. Seems like Stern has been releasing a game about every 3 months, so figure Mid-August release? I looked up the other Ka-pow/Stern announcements and Batman 66 was in Sep (2016) and Beatles was in Oct (2018) so maybe BTTF will be in that same Sep/Oct window?

Best Classic Stern Game, for Gameplay Post #60 in topic
Posted over 3 years ago by bluespin – in All Pinball ‐ Last reply 16 months ago
... very interesting Dragonfist - one of the most unique geometries Quicksilver - solid (Beatles plays so much better!) Flight 2000 - still love the spinner to drops shot Big Game ... but meh Catacomb - it looks like a giant piece of toast on the playfield. Game generally feels more luck than skill Lightning - more going on ... Beatles is better than Quicksilver. Beatles is a reworked Sea Witch, not a reworked Quicksilver. I agree that Beatles is better than Seawitch, but Quicksilver is the best playing classic Stern.

I'm still waiting for my LE to be confirmed from the distributor, but as I look at this, the fact that JJP got licenses from Gibson and Fender is either pretty damn amazing or Stern was pretty lazy. Yeah Kapow/Stern was able to get the licensing from VOX, Ludwig, PanAm World Airway, Rickenbacker and Gretsch guitars for the Beatles. It’s possible if you try I guess.

Happy for everyone that is getting their dream theme here. I won't have any skin in the game, but I do like the Pro cabinet art while others seem to hate it. I am disappointed in the recycled artwork and images but I'm sure there were licensing issues. I wish Stern would take more time on original artwork for all their pins. IM, TMNT, JP, and AIQ were all great. Pins like The Beatles and LZ seem like they are stepping backwards.

If the LZ pin will have the same amount of songs that GNR has, my head would probably spin 360. I know it will not, though. I am amazed that Stern even got the license to do a pin from LZ. But I really, really hope that there is at least 12 songs (whole songs) In my opinion there is no reason to even do a pin if if there is 1 min restrictions, like on Beatles.

I think the biggest thing I worry about is that the licensing may have cost so much that they will skimp on the game..... that and who’s doing code Aside from the time limitations on Beatles, Stern has been pretty reliable in securing the songs you want to hear in any of their Rock machines. We can always want more but acdc, met, maiden, AS and even the Stones have pretty solid track list. I’m going to guess we see minimum of 12 tracks on LZ.

Is Beatles considered a success or did not meet expectations? I don’t want to say it was a failure. Seems you can still buy all models and the cost was definitely higher than other games due to licensing I assume. My wife, daughters, and I just couldn’t get into it. Just didn’t seem like we were playing a music pin but playing an old Stern Seawitch. Would a new all designed game have been a better option than a re-skinned Seawitch?

Stern remaking a Bally/Williams title like CGC has been doing is very unlikely and akin to a pipe dream.
