That cabinet art looks beautiful.

Congrats Antonio !
Looking forward to play that pin...

Looks very cool! I’ve been dying for a new car themed pin for a long time and at/close to the price above I’m interested!

Amazing work guys looks awesome!

Looks cool

What hardware is running this game?

That looks cool. maybe a mix between Seawitch and HS2? (oh boy! I wish this had a supercharger loop or a jump ramp) :sigh: but I am very excited about playing this. Who are the eight names listed as modes? (sounds like Asian pornstars)

Looks great guys!

The theme and artwork have captured my attention. Will be following closely.

I'm excited for this game, good flow, fast, physical ball lock, outrun style look and music and just plain meat looking. If this ships in bulk to America to a distributor of sorts I would truly consider getting one of these for route if reliable.

Looks really cool. Hope to play one someday

Good price for such a small run game.

Any more infomation on the hardware? sounds interesting if 100% custom.

the upper flippers look a bit like archer/iron maiden

This looks very nice! Beautiful artwork. I see there are ball locks, so there is multiball? I assume they are virtual locks?
Looking forward to see this develop! Very impressive.

So how do we buy one?

Cool looking game! I look forward to seeing more about this.

AMAZING!!!!
Great job!

Looks like physical lock up in that upper left inner orbit u-turn loop, there looks to be a hole in the playfield for an up post, where the STOP sign is.

4395 Euros is around $5000 for those curious.

The Nemo boys are too busy playing their game. The rest of us are more pitiful, show mercy.

Very very slick. To get the best idea of the playfield and flow, look at the early art layout drawing overlaid on the blueprint. That mini-flipper seems redundant at first and blocks the bottom right flipper from making the same shots, until you can see how it's fed from the upper left flipper to pound away at those DRIFT targets. Six distinct shots on a single level is not to be sniffed at either. No drops, but on this style of game you'll hardly miss them.

The only criticisms I'd have of the layout are the obvious SDTM potential from between the pops, and that all the flippers have a feed to them except the bottom right. There's no inner orbit or return loop pass from the bottom left to the bottom right, and unless that mini-loop is also a ball lock it's also going to be the least important flipper in the game. You'd be spending more time trying to keep or pass the ball to the left.

This game reminds me of one of my favorite movies.

I am interested in more info. How do we get on the list to purchase one?

If any US captain Nemo owners plan to pass on their purchase of Tokyo Drift, please reach out.

Aside from that, I honestly prefer not to be the beta tester and am for sure interested in one from the second run.

They're basically in testing/coding mode yet.
To me they really need a north American dealer for sales here to work.

Game just looks cool and great theme love the shots being districts/regions.

They really just post updates on Instagram...

Was that just player feedback, or did it include spectators? My personal opinion looking at the videos is there needs to be more communication with the player through callouts, and more acknowledgement of what the player is doing via screen displays. I can see a whole game being played and not be sure what progress has been made, and that makes it pretty dull to watch. I assume this can be put down to early code, and that it will be addressed.

Another suggestion, if it's not too late to alter the playfield print file: put more text on the game around the insert groups as to what the completed features actually do, and what lights and advances what.

Really cool game. I got to go to Madrid to play this!

agreed. Game looks fun to shoot, but I have watched every video out so far and still have no idea what is going on at any given time, why everything is flashing, what the play should be shooting for, etc...

Very interested in this game, but needs much more player feedback and immersion.

Only layout concern is that a clunk shot to the shot to the right of the left orbit seems to always want to come back to a SDTM drain.

looking forward to seeing this as it progresses.

I'm not fond of so many lights flashing in unison so much of the time either, you don't get a sense of hierarchy about what's most important to shoot for when a game does that.

How will software updates be handled after a game is released - is it download file and install it using an usb stick like other systems?

Looks like it could be a killer game! I agree with all the above about being lost while watching the videos. Tiny teeny problem I have which isn't a problem but really a preference. Wish the cars weren't modeled after a GTR. Not to go off topic and turn this into a car forum but yes I know they have them. Just screams road course/drag car when I see a Godzilla not a drift vehicle. Ok, now carry on with the awesomeness!!

Primary things to know and watch for in video. 1) Hit green standup turning it solid lit, hit (5) drift stand ups turning them solid lit, hit flashing yellow inserts to collect a race and turn the mode insert in middle of playfield to solid lit. Repeat seven times and during these sequences, inserts blink when qualified. 2) qualify lock and shoot inlane to lock ball. Repeat twice to start multiball. There is some other stuff and additional multiballs being added, but start with this understanding.

I was able to figure the race rules out watching the videos again, but this is where lamp hierarchy is important. You also have those eight simple objectives for the triangular insert fan, which is a good way of doing it as it ties in everything on the playfield and gives them each a purpose. But since they can be done in any order, don't have everything flash at once; save that for things that have the priority to advance the races, or for when you're down to the latest couple of objectives left to make. A lit target should mean 'hit this', whereas a flashing one should mean 'hit this now'.

That's definitely an improvement to follow.

getting better.

I like the orbit and loop shot. The upper kickout kept bouncing back into the hole so may need to adjust power.
It appears code is very flat currently? hit green target to start a mode and then hit blue DRIFT targets appears to be the only thing to do?

Sound FX could use some work as they feel like placeholders.

Game really looks like it will be fun to shoot but curious how far along you feel code is? is this still a framework or nearing completion?

Looking good. I'm personally not fond of the inlane/outlane sound effect ( pneumatic wheel nut gun? ), or the main music, think that would get old fast ( it has just watching a few videos )

After watching the most recent video (the one a few posts above) I can see this being a fun game. Allow me to make a few suggestions:
- Would it be a thought to stick with common (B/W) colors for certain elements? Like green lock targets and inserts, orange insert to indicate Extra Ball, not sure, but aren't jackpot inserts and targets usually red?
- please add more callouts (lots)
- wouldn't it be better is the ball lock callouts would indicate which ball is locked. E,g: "Ball 1 locked" "Ball 2 locked" etc. Maybe even indicate how many locks are needed for MB: "one more for multiball"
- The current music appears to be EDM tracks with 'song' arrangements. For pinball you don't need songs, you need themes. A long buildup to a drop where the beat kicks in will only work if it makes sense in the game.
- Following the previous suggestion: please improve the music choreography with other elements in the game, like lightshows, video, and such.
- Please add shooter grooves, like Scott Danesi did on TNA. These are short looped elements (2 beats or 4 beats) with no bass and once the ball is plunged the regular theme (with bass) kicks in.
- Tie specific themes to specific modes (see also next comment)
- I hear no progress in the game music after draining a ball. I'd assume if you drain and get a new ball, and you continue where you left off. Maybe you do in terms of rules, but as the music changes, that indicates to me that the mode changed.

Hope the above is useful
