I might be in the minority that thinks the game looks nice. I dig the art and colour choice, and it would go nicely in a retro American Diner or similar themed games room.

However, it just seems like a missed opportunity to me. Please someone answer me this:

Why a reskin of an old game?
Why only 8 songs? And
Why in gods name is it so expensive?

Quoted from Apollyon:

Simple:
1. Cheaper to make = more profit
2. Cheaper to license = more profit
3. More profit

What a damn shame that is.

#1288 5 years ago
Quoted from vid1900:

Proven simple layout.
No confusing ramps or mechs that might scare away older buyers.

It's all you need.
If there were 5, you'd want 8
If there were 10, you'd want 12

Stern is still looking for the max people will pay.
Since this is THE game that 90% of Pinsiders have been waiting their entire life for, what better marketing testbed than the Beatles?

I don't buy all of that. Proven simple layout...I see your point. However, as far as the amount of songs, there is usually around 12 tracks per Beetles album. Surely they could have at least had one albums worth of greatest hits included. As far as the price goes, well if that is their reason, then that is just pathetic.
