Official Munsters with Pics and Video from Stern

Quoted from HighVoltage:
Curious on your thoughts vs MBr: sounded like you may pick that one up too. What would you choose between this or that?

I’ve had an original Monster Bash for years....I thought I was going to replace it with MBr, but after playing MBr I decided to keep my original. If I didn’t have one already and had to choose - well, I’d want to play this first before making that choice. I already know MB is awesome ...this looks super fun, too...but I’m just going on pics & video like everyone else!

I think the pro cabinet artwork looks the best. The premium is ok if you like that direction, the LE, well...the first thing I thought of was the porthole of a ship:

I like that the ramps go back through end of game creates more space, wish they would bring back diverters like on TOTAN and under shots like in BSD.

I want the art of the Pro with the lower play field of the Premium/LE. Don't love the cabinet art of the LE. Does anyone know what the second set of flipper buttons do? Could it be for the lower PF? Wow, that would be intense to try to play two sets of flippers simultaneously. This might tip the scales to the B&W Premium for me. I'd hate to give up the nicer art/colors on the Pro, though.

Are any LE buyers going to be upset if Stern does a color premium? I wouldn't think so. I don't see how Stern could lose by offering a color and B&W premium.

Maybe too early to tell... but software doesn't seem deep?

What I saw was levels of jackpots and stacking jackpots (abort with zap button) to combine them? Anyone know how that works?

For the rest the modes grandpa (lower pf and multiball in lower pf), herman (multiball), lily, spot, raven (multiball) for munster madness (wizard mode)
playfield multiplier by dracula ---> kitty shot
add a ball / mystry from left catapult shot

Anything else I'm missing? Eddie inserts on the loops, what do they do?

I wouldn't be surprised if this was basic "show code" and there's brand new code loaded for the Thursday stream with Dwight.

Just the fact that there is a twitch stream with the Code Lead is a good sign.

I'd keep in mind that this a campy theme here. Don't expect TWD kids.

I like the black/white theme, and the shots look good, albeit nothing earth shattering. Obviously early code, the sound was completely confusing, like way too many sounds/voices overlapping each other. Still surprised this theme turned into a pin, but sounds like they’ll sell at least initially, which is always good.

Any idea how many people they have doing voices/callouts for this game?

Ignoring the video clips, I thought I heard two, maybe three, different voices doing callouts. It seems the primary is a female. I also thought I heard a guy's voice call out some things and possible a third guy, although the third may have been from the video clips and I didn't realize it.

-Dr. Dudley (Paul Lynde sound alike)
-Marilyn sound alike
-Raven (voiced by John Borg)

I think that's it for custom...and then the rest are show clips.

I noticed Grandpa and Eddie's voices are not in any audio clips in the stream. Butch Patrick is everywhere, but they couldn't get the rights to his voice?

Early code most likely. For show code, it was surprisingly robust and complete feeling. I'm sure the Eddie loops will result in Eddie clips & Grandpa's shot/mini-playfield will result in Grandpa clips.

I own an Aerosmith, Borg’s previous effort, and I swear every shot on Munsters looks easier than the AS one.

Left orbit through pops vs no pops
Scoop on far left vs middle
Left ramp tight and far away vs wide and closer
Right ramp super tight and awkward vs wide and right where you want it

I could go on, but I’ve yet to even make it to the final wizard mode on AS because the shots are just kinda tough, whereas I’ve watched someone mosey on up to the Munsters on the live stream and beat it already.

All voices and clips from show were acquired in license of all the main characters. I’m sure the focus right now is Pro model code which doesn’t have the cellar so things are prioritized to time frame. It’s coming.

I am waiting to play one to make my call on how it shoots. But don’t you think for a show for the masses, and not specifically pinheads, you would have it set to “easy” for all your modes? You want people to experience it and see what it can do, but you don’t want to have to wait for a wizard to play it to see the show. I watched JD get every “Champion” callout for I think every mode in the machine on a single game early in the stream, but he’s played it before, and is being paid to play it (the lucky bum ) and he knows the rules better than the average joe public.

During today's stream, one of the attendees walked up and got to the wizard mode in his first game. May the legend of KMP live on.

I'm going Pro (when I do get one).

Why? Mini playfields suck. Didn't like it in FGY/Shrek, don't like it here. No, I haven't played it but I can tell by the speed of play I wouldn't like it. Adding mini ramps and a mini VUK doesn't change my opinion. If it doesn't have a full-size pinball, it's a joke.

I really like the B&W look of the Premium, but it doesn't justify an extra $1600 for me, nor does the mini playfield.
