Ok that’s a bit more clear thanks.

Is video mode optional? Can it be disabled??

I wish there never was a video mode on any pinball machine. If I want to play a video game I’d play one on a phone or console or computer not on a pinball machine.

Update....

I am fortunate to have two arcades close to my vacation place and the arcades get a lot of the new pins (I mean Stern, JJP not the other stuff unfortunately, they did have a TNA but rotated it out so it might not have been a money maker for them).

Anyway went to play SW and compare to others (DP, JP, MM) that's about it. They have Munsters, GotG, GoT, Elvira, BKSOR, Wonka, MB etc.. but specifically I am looking at:

SW
JP
DP
MM
(Iron Maiden) now I have Maiden in my collection but it's temporary and will be replaced shortly with my Tron.

I got a better feel for SW, I was sorry that both arcades had the premium because I wanted to play both pro and premium. I quite like SW and the premium is nice. Love the Hyper loop but don't like the way it is over the flipper area. I didn't get too many rejects from the jump ramp and it seems like it gets out of the way when the ball travels the opposite way on the loop but it's not instantaneous so I suspect the pro is better in that regard.

I played a bit of DP pro and premium and feel like the premium is better (like the drops and the loop ramp).

I played JP and feel like the premium extras are really worth it, I didn't really get the T-Rex to grab the ball but it looks great with movement and the Raptor area is better on the premium. I am not sure if I love JP layout it has quite a bit of fussy stuff or maybe just very packed. That's great but I think the upper loop is not as well defined and I hit it more by accident the far right ramp is also quite difficult to hit. Overall don't get me wrong, I love ramps but maybe 4 ramps is making everything feel a bit tight.

MM remake this is a tough one, the game they had was well worn from being on location for a number of years it was dirty and dark looking. I think that I like the idea of MM more than I actually love playing the game. Now I love MM and it plays well but I was thinking of the Royal edition because I like newer games and it's the Cadillac of pins and GCG makes high quality but I just can't get over the price ($2000 more than my AFM which had shaker, mirror blades and topper, in fact AFM has the same stuff as MM royal for $2000 less).

Basically I am still undecided, would like any of them and Iron Maiden as well but nothing has taken the lead yet.

what made the premium decision? was it just gameplay or was the art a factor as well?

I think would prefer pro cabinet with premium game and premium translight.

I want to play a pro to see if much is missing with not having the hyper loop.

I have not got multiple balls on the loop yet.

I found that it plays very hard and unforgiving but I like hard brutal pins, at least it allows the modes to continue after you lose a ball otherwise it would be maddening.

I know not everyone loves SW but this video gives me some more fuel to the fire. I have Maiden pro and it shoots great, great shots, great rules but as these guys say it just doesn't feel like you are accomplishing a lot, completing modes is like checking off a box but in SW it's like playing through classic movie
