From a design standpoint, this is exactly what I love to see.

Three fully animating interactive toys with change-states.
-The breaking bridge...looks cool, fits the theme, changes where shots go.
-The building...looks cool, fits theme, mixes up gameplay & is a cool MB lock/MB start
-The rotating target & Mecha-Godzilla...looks cool, fits theme, gives you multiple gameplay elements in one area, ramp-flying bash toys are fun.

...and on top of that, this new type of Newton Magnet. 3 well thought out, interactive animating mechs & a new innovative feature.

Art is gorgeous, Yeti always kills it!

Bravo to Keith & team!

Every shot in JP is tight…but it’s sooo satisfying when you make them, especially combos.

JP is def a game for better players. No judgment…I can see how people would get frustrated with it. I’m at a point with it now where I’m really tuned into the geometry, and it’s mostly just combo combo combo flow flow flow. I had a crazy game yesterday & my arms were numb after lol. I still can’t get much further than the T-Rex paddock….so even tho I feel like I’m good at it, I’m not that good.

Stern never lowers their prices.

Hopefully this means we'll see more cool shit in games going forward. Zep is barren, Godzilla has 3 crazy mechs and creative design. At least we know that Elwin games will BRING IT.

I'M IN THE ELWIN CULT NOW!!!!

Time to sell a bunch of games and get a Maiden & AIQ, I guess ....haha.

My daughter kept calling him “Pickle”

Game looks amazing. Love the voiceovers. Love the music. Love the “stomp” light show when you lose the ball. All the shots & features look F’ing crazy. Only thing I don’t like are the Insider pop-ups. Super annoying & distracting. Hopefully those can be disabled.

Every time they started a game there was an option to select English or Japanese.

Ask a Hoe.

Hype hype hyped!!! Gaddamn it looks so fun.

It's similar in up/down motion, but definitely looks simpler in design. The Time Expander has 2 locks, a standup target, lights, a ton of opto targets, 3 entrances with doors, a subway feed....that thing is crazy. I'm not sure if there are any switches or lights inside the Godzilla building....there might just be external switches that let the game know what position it's in. Each floor has different ramp paths, but that's static. It looks like the ball release is just pushed up by something when it lowers, I don't think that's motorized.

Iron Man Vault has the foil decals, and I love them. It works especially well on Iron Man, because it makes his suit look like shiny metal. This will definitely make the Mecha Godzilla on the cabinet look really cool.

I believe Mustang LE had the foil decals...maybe it was the Premium?

Batman SLE & Elvira SLE also had them.

It’s really hard to get a picture that captures how it looks.
