Quoted from kermit24:Obviously you have never played T-Bird the turd
True. I just don’t want to be tortured with Beatles music or having to stare at 4 dudes with the same haircut
Quoted from davijc02:Just watched the video of this turd and I think I’d rather have Thunderbirds
Translation: Just watched the video of this turd and I think I'd rather have a cinderblock dropped on my head after falling off a 20-story building.
Only 5 songs?
Average song length back in that era by the Beatles is like 2:30 seconds. I sure hope there are a couple more tied to multiballs are something.
Quoted from Blackjacker:To be fair, Muensters survived (thrived, even) for decades on its cheesiness. The younger generation continues to eat it up.
Am I the only one who got this? Nice job....
Also - I'm out!
Quoted from rvdv:If I win the mega lotto tonight
I buy them all up and Bulldozer them
That will take care of that !
Best comment I’ve seen so far!
I love The Beatles.
I buy most of their re-issues like the White Album next month.
This pin looks like crap.
Five songs? That’s it?
Why not do a totally black and white A Hard Day’s Night version?
Glad I bought IMDN. All in all, that game does justice to the band.
Quoted from luckymoey:This may be the one where Stern finally overreached.
As pissed as I am that the price points keep inflating, you have to imagine that Stern did its market research. There are LOTS of Beetles fans out there with big bucks in their pockets. Much like Supreme, Stern must be pretty confident that those fans - pinheads or not - will lay their cash out and eat up stock.
omg - I guess this is real. Holy ___ what a complete disaster. wow. Talk about just throwing it away except for scalpers.
After watching the video I want to play it. Granted this isn't what I have in mind when I think Beatles Pinball. But I kind of like the mix of old and new. Retro sounds with newer electronics and music. The magnet in the middle of the spinner looks pretty slick as well. I hope one goes on location close by so I can spend some quarters. Also looking forward to seeing the different art packages. I am surprised that the facial drawings aren't more flattering.
Quoted from Coolpinballdino:Does anyone know who did the artwork on this game.
Salami nyet-i.
Quoted from Shapeshifter:In other news, the price of original Seawitch just shot up in value.
In other other news, no one gives a flying F about Seawitch still.

Franchi
meh, I don't mind seeing them try new things. I don't have to like everything they make, I'm out on this one. Might play it if I ever run into one in the wild though.
Quoted from Coolpinballdino:Does anyone know who did the artwork on this game.
christopher franchi
I really don’t have an issue with the art but I’m having a hard time with only 5 songs?
Kind of looks like the Beat Time pinball color palette
Quoted from Coz:Looks like a poorly made home brew pin, I was expecting so much more.
Nah. It looks decently 'made' -- it's just ... eugh. It's not like it's hand cut plastics and sharpies.
Quoted from Shapeshifter:CrazyLevi.
Stars as Rin - Tin -Tin.

I pulled the exact same act during the Supreme rollout when you idiots were all melting down over that.
And the Dark Night for Stern doozy.
Let me know when I actually turn out to be wrong.
I can't believe Apple signed off on this thing. The artwork looks like it was something that was cashed in on without a license right after the Beatles appeared on Ed Sullivan show.
Quoted from DCFAN:I long for the days when Stern was making games like TSPP and LOTR. Put the darn kitchen sink back in!
You can add Ripley's believe it or not to that list as well. Hell, Monopoly was too packed, but I get you.
Thought all the FB posts were a home-brew hoax. Had to check Pinside and I can't believe this pile was actually released.

Note that I didn't say you were wrong
Who was melting down over a Supreme pinball machine? I don't know one person who was waiting for years that hopefully they would make a supreme pinball machine
Just talked to Gary Stern. There will be an official announcement for the game in about a week to two weeks. The video was planned to go live today. According to Gary, "it's just a little teaser."
i guess they had to work with what the license gave them but seriously... this.
another cash grab from stern.
it will sell and people will line up to buy them at crazy price.
obviously, target are fans ready to pay any amount of money for something beatles.
Quoted from Ramjet:Who was melting down over a Supreme pinball machine? I don't know one person who was waiting for years that hopefully they would make a supreme pinball machine
No one here was “melting down”. That’s just Levi trying to make himself look like Nostradamus. They only thing I remember was us old farts not knowing what the hell Supreme was.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Yeah you just missed it, the rest of us clearly saw the LCD screen.
Did we though? Where do you see an lcd in the video?

1. If that’s true I must say that I respect your post and I hope that you enjoy the game if you buy one.
2. ...otherwise I think that you forgot to add the "sarcasm" emoji below your post.
Stern....you had this in the bag. How hard was it to just do a real Beatles pin (really?) Instead you took another shortcut once again and thought you'd pass it off as clever because as Gary Stern has said in the past ''retro is in''
Well, for that I'm out and the rest of the sharks are too.

I'm not so sure about that because the artwork is absolutely hideous

But the new one has that spinning 45!
This is for real? Seriously!?! If so. My goodness what a horrible promo video. Game looks cheap and slow. I love the Beatles, but this is a hard pass.
