I’ve got a Deadpool pro, it’s a really fun pin. I’d consider selling or trading if you’re interested.

Either would be a solid choice. I think DP is more fun, but what you think counts. Modes are easier to start on DP, and it's more forgiving. If you get on a roll, ball times can get pretty long, and multiballs are pretty easy to get to. TWD can be harsh. Set up is critical for both.

I like Twd better myself but if I was thinking about what the family would like I’d have to go dp.

Both are fun games but I think TWD is the better game but your family might like deadpool more as it's more colorful and has a LCD.

If you're going for a pin the family can play and ENJOY go with Deadpool. If they're not really good at pinball and you want to piss them off, go with TWD. Walking Dead can just be 10 brutal games before 1 where everything all comes together. The animations on the LCD are more entertaining for a family pin.

for family go with deadpool all day long. Walking dead is super fun for those who like challenging shots, good code and lots of patience. Not a lot happens by randomness on TWD. You must shoot the stand up to make it to one of the best mini wizard modes. Its a tough game, have to nudge and have to make your shots. TWD theme might or might not be family friendly.

My 5 year old daughter loves our TWD Pro. I've ended up buying pins that I think I'll enjoy longterm. Everytime I buy one to cater to the family it never lasts. My family's three keepers so far are IMDN, TWD, and AFM, never would've expected IMDN and TWD to be big hits with them but they're bolted.

Yes that’s interesting, as far as I’m concerned TWD pro is one of the most brutal pins on earth lol

TWD is “intense”. DP is fun.

I would say DP for family and yourself.

Not sure if you are a NIB guy or like hunting for a HUO, but if you are a HUO guy then buy which ever one shows up locally first.

I kinda think TWD is like watching your team play the last quarter of a tight, meaningfull game. It is fun to watch but intense. You wanna watch, but you don’t because you might get burned and annoyed. But you will be back.

DP is more fun. Hey let’s do battles. Did that call out say “get off your phone and play?!” Hey Disco! Lets just have a good time.

Good to have a mix of these games in the lineup in my opinion.

Pro versions = TWD
Prem versions = DP

TWD for the win!

Deadpool is a fun game but I think the premium is the way to go with that game.

Both awesome game i am a Prem/Le guy and would go with Twd Prem but on Deadpool i would go Pro i played both and not much of a change + i like the Pro art way more ( my taste ) but they all look nice .

Code on both are awesome , i am a Lyman fan but Klyce did a Super job on deadpool , i am still waiting a few weeks to see what comes out before pulling the trigger on Dp , Good times for pinball choices these days

Go with what you like better , watch videos of the game sound and gameplay , look up thr rules on Tilt.
Taste are very different for everyone.

Walking Dead is probably the "better" game for the "serious" player. Very intense, very brutal, very deep. Probably the most adrenaline filled wizard mode ever (Horde). Layout is unique and good, but most shots end up in the pop bumpers slowing down flow. Very heavy focus (modes AND bloodbath) on the drop targets which are difficult, dangerous, and not terribly satisfying to hit. Can be super frustrating 95% of the time, but extremely satisfying when you get it rocking. Will be both your most hated game and your most loved game in the course of any given day. Lighting it on fire crossed my mind often when I owned it. Finally sold it when I got sick of it's crap, but now wish I had it back.

Deadpool is the more FUN game. Light hearted...lots of humor. Much better art. Not as deep, but still plenty to do for all skill levels. Clever rules with great animations, especially if you are an old-school video game lover. Unique layout with one of the best ramp/lock shots ever, though it is not a gimme shot. Will bring a big stupid smile to your face every time you play, whether you have a good game or not. Recent code updated have taken it from good to great, and they aren't done yet.

I'd go Deadpool, especially when considering the family, but even if just for myself. TWD is also a great game though. Can't lose with either. Since you are replacing Funhouse, a game the family likes, I would say Deadpool is closer in thematic "feel" (lighthearted, humor, heavy on character, getting poked fun at, etc) than TWD would be.

Hit 'em with the BOOM!

It's really hard to argue with this assessment, especially of TWD. Many people like Deadpool, but I didn't much care for it. That being said, my family hates TWD as it's way to hard for them (and frankly myself as well). I would pick DP for what you are looking for.

Deadpool has deceptive depth. Doesn't seem like a ton at first, but there is so much side stuff going on (that stacks logically now) that it doesn't seem shallow at all. And I still haven't hit Mr Sinister, so it's not like you can just breeze through everything. Lots of ways to tackle it too, which keeps it fresh. Can pick from any of the three battles, or go for the two quests first. TWD is deeper, but DP is definitely no slouch with really fun and diverse goals to keep you occupied.

I've played both. Regularly. Been playing pinball a while..by no means a great player but not horrible. TWD was made by Satan himself. Deadpool all day long. Plus for a family, as others have mentioned it's brighter, more colorful, has more "stuff" and just is overall a more fun, easier shooting easier scoring game.

I swear my TWD has a vacuum attached to the outlanes. Brutal ass game but fun at the same time.

Wow tough choice
I love TWD because it's brutal and deep, but I wouldn't say it's a family/beginners game.
DP has easier rules and even the bad games on it will be fun, might be the better choice for a family.

So my vote is for DP on this one
Good luck with the choice!

I've had TWD IN THE LINE UP FOR AWHILE, NEXT TO MET PRO, DI LE AND MM. I GRAVITATE TOWARDS TWD FIRST AND MOST AND THATS AFTER A FEW YEARS. THATS SAYING ALOT. IT'S UGLY AND THEME MEANS NOTHING TO ME BUT A GREAT GAME IS A GREAT GAME. NEVER PLAYED THE OTHER GAME SO CANT COMMENT ON THAT.

He’s clearly very passionate about his opinion.

Have not played DP that said can't go wrong with TWD
