Quoted from EaglePin:

New Destruction Jackpot rules look pretty good. Can't wait to play this update!!!

Quoted from Jkush18:

Sitting at work…wondering..will my game update itself before I return home…can’t wait to play the new code.

Quoted from ThePinballCo-op:

Got to play Godzilla for the first time, put in maybe 10 games total. My initial feeling was "this is the best first ball of any game I've ever played". I'm shocked at how much I loved it. I figured I would but... wow!
Would I be accurate in saying that the code is not as deep as Avengers or JP, but deeper than IMDN? That's how it felt to me but I never watched a tutorial or read anything about it (I wanted to be surprised).
I prefer deep rulesets. I love Avengers for that reason. I'm finding Godzilla to be a very simplified Elwin game so it's kind of disappointing in that regard but maybe I'm wrong? What do you guys and gals think?

Quoted from Nikko:

Will it update itself or do we need to do it?

Quoted from crwjumper:

Just tried to download the new code via WiFi but it’s not finding it. The connection test is successful.

Quoted from Kenswift:

There’s a setting to have it auto download and another to have it auto install. Working for me. Going to take a while. [quoted image]

Quoted from Hayfarmer:

You guys leave your games plugged in? I'm afraid to, we had lightning strikes here years ago and it went thru my surge protector and ruined my TV. Granted , was 15 years ago, but lost several other appliances in house as well. I use surge protectors on every game, but still unplug after playing. Prob being too cautious, but so easy to unplug.

Quoted from ag90IL:

So it needs to be registered to update correct?

Quoted from HEAD_boss_HOG:

Agree completely with you. The game is a masterpiece, but the theme is a DUD. Think about it guys...has anybody ever told you that their favorite movie franchise is Godzilla? I love movies of all types, especially comedies. I love to quote movies, and discuss awesome films with anybody who will listen. I've NEVER heard a single person tell me "You HAVE to go see Godzilla." I've never heard from anyone that Godzilla is their favorite movie, or movie franchise. I've met a lot of people, and never heard anybody express enthusiasm or interest in the property one time.
maybe I'm missing something, or hanging in the wrong circles, but it's food for thought, and definitely a weird choice by Stern IMO.
the theme is not good, but the game still kicks butt.

Quoted from NeilMcRae:

yeah I wondered if that was the reason also.
I've got a pro that I'm installing on Thursday will take a look then.

Quoted from Nikko:

Will it update itself or do we need to do it?

Quoted from Selig:

Just got my shipping notification. Premium delivering next Tuesday!

Quoted from rai:

How are the cities supposed to function?

Quoted from ag90IL:

So it needs to be registered to update correct?

Quoted from Vernisious:

I came here to ask questions about the rules to destroying cities and how monster battles carry over to other cities but now I see an update so I guess I'll just update, play a bunch and come back with new questions. Where oh where is my crazy destruction multipliers jackpots going? (They might get bigger now) This game is gold!

Quoted from Obed_Marsh:

Lol you're calling GODZILLA a strange theme for pinball as a Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory owner?! Classic movie and nothing against that game, but giant monsters fighting and destroying things makes a lot more sense for pinball then that.

Quoted from rai:

How are the cities supposed to function?

Quoted from Reality_Studio:

Interesting, mine also came with V 8.0 code and also shows 8 ohm as the "default" setting, but it was actually set to 4 ohm from the factory.

Quoted from Happy81724:

Is there ever a reason you want to hit next to the building that makes it drain stdm some of the time? I don’t see it registering or qualifying anything.

Quoted from JSC:

I just view it as something to avoid. But there probably is some reason.

Quoted from Pinzzz:

Jkush18 “ My only complaint is my ball gets stuck on soft plunges in between the mechagodzilla turn table and the back of the scoop”
This was my solution…
