Has to be Toho brand Godzilla, not this new Legendary/WB garbage.

King of Monster Island theme. Godzilla.....the Savior of Tokyo or Destroyer of Worlds! Mothra, King Ghidorah, Rodan, Mechagodzilla, Hedorah....on & on & on. So many choices, but hopefully not another LCD match battle game like AIQ or DP.

Should be a nostalgic 70's lovefest with the classic Toho music & sounds. Blue Oyster Cult song thrown in. Classic movie clips on LCD. I can only imagine the Godzilla Atomic Breath lighting effects & sounds.

Elwin team on design/code & ZY on art. That's a slam dunk for me & might be the theme that gets me to purchase my first Elwin game.

Know your ATOMIC BREATH...

Since there's a lot of Godzilla love going on here, I will just post this for those who are unaware...

The Criterion Collection of Toho Godzilla films. All 15 classics. Japanese & English tracks. Released last year. You don't get any better than a Criterion release when it comes to Blu-ray. It would be nice if this was a 4K release, but for these films it really doesn't matter.

Now all they need to do is release another collection with the underrated rebooted Heisei/Millenium Era (1984-2004), which are great in their own right & had much better special effects.

I really enjoyed Shin Godzilla (even got to see it in theaters for it's very brief US release), and as far as I understand thanks to it's success, Toho studios plans on creating a new shared Godzilla universe, with new films based on different classic Kaiju & begin releasing in 2021. I'll take Japanese releases over big-budget Hollywood interpretations anyday.

Toho Godzilla pinball would be a home run for Elwin & Stern IMO.

That's funny you should mention that, because new special editions of the Showa & Heisei eras of Gamera are coming out on bluray later this month. I will definitly pick up the 90s era since I've never seen before.

* Keith/Yeti knocked it out of the park once again. The best team-up at Stern IMO.

* Stern engineers really earned their paycheck on the premium design. Rising/Collapsing building, breakable bridge jump ramp, rotating mechagodzilla banks/spinner/magnet mech. Throw in diverting building ramps, unique magnet post, upper flipper cross-shot, cool physical ball locks..... looks like a winner. I mean how can you seriously look at the design & features on the premium & not be impressed? Especially when comparing this to something new like Led Zeppelin? Even the backboard has molded buildings! Harrison Drake.... you the man!

* I find only 13 RGB LEDs to be REFRESHING. Enough of the clown-puke insert/GI RGB trend found in so many other new games. It's distracting & makes it hard to see the ball. When you tastefully use RGBs in your design, it makes it clearer for the player to know where to shoot the ball, or adds some tasteful mode lighting effects.

* Love the Japanese speech option! If you watch Japanese films with English dubs, you're doing it wrong! Nice touch Keith

Really looking forward to playing this one. If Spooky had gotten the licence it wouldn't have come anywhere close to this level of Elwin design.

Just let me hit the apron button to fire my ATOMIC BREATH!

They also said the difficulty of activating the atomic breath increases the more you use it. You have to hold the apron button down longer & it takes longer to get to 100% after each use. Which means less time with your hand on your flippers. Risk vs reward.

Little stuff like this turns good games into great games, and Keith's titles are loaded with coding nuggets like this.
