Quoted from konjurer:I may end up buying a Wonka SE after playing. I'm just trying to be objective. Clearly there are more interesting mechs in Oktoberfest compared to the SE. Not saying it shoots better or has better art or animation. I've been extremely critical of the art and animations on Fest - BUT at the same time Wonka has some serious short comings in those areas too.
I posted my data on Fest... go ahead and compare. No one has taken me up on doing a fair comparison. Inform me. Personally, I feel let down by the reveal.
Sounds like you havent flipped either of these pins.
Given what you said your criteria is for purchasing one, I really recommend you play them both first.
I like Oktoberfest. I played it at the reveal at expo, tpf, and mgc. It plays slower than even Wonka does. Lots of waiting for the ball to get back to you. It's a cool layout. Side by side, it's not really close. Wonka shoots better, quality of JJP, and looks great (although if we are talking standard you could go either way).
Maybe it's just me, but when I play I look at the playfield and the backglass display. I dont look at the side of the game. From the front and everything you see playing, Wonka is gorgeous.
