I've never played that mode ever. Only played JJP POTC two times at teh same convention(I would have played more, but it was always busy and I don't wait for games. I hop on games as soon as they're available to maximize playing time).

But, I would bet they put it as they did, because don't you get to sink ships with the canon in the actual pinball. So I think they didn't want to repeat themselves. As it kind of is a bit silly to have a video mode where you fire a canon and then have it as a cool toy, with a better animation in game.
And there is the problem with a video mode. You want it to be unique, fun and fast, but also at the same time you don't want to take away from any of the actual modes in the game. When done right, I think they're amazing. When done wrong, we all agree its best that the game shouldn't have one.

All of them count. My favorite is the deadmeat one where you shot shot the guy to bits.

Well some of those are the skill shot, that I think you're talking about. Skill shots don't count. Some of those games you listed do have video modes though.

That sounds like a fun mode. I've never, ever, EVER been able to get on to a rob zombie. It's been in the free area at three different expos I went to, but always people were on it. Right when I think it would open up, someone got on it, and I have a rule where I don't wait for a game to open up. I move to the next free one. So while many people call the game a stinker, every expo I've been to with one, its gotten a lot of plays and been busy.

Hope to play that mode one day.

That sounds like some of the shooting in LW3 and sounds like the blowing out the bomb in rocky and bullwinkle. I'd have to see the mode or section. But, it could fit the criteria. A shame video modes are hard to locate.

I was able to see thanks to PAPA Pinball the Elvis and Batman Forever video modes. The Elvis was interesting, but I really liked the Batman Forever mode.

That conversation kit just scares me... I know the rules are more than a bit broken with the billion shot and all. I've yet to get it... But, I've come close...ish...

There are some things I find really amazing about the code and what they did, and some things I don't like at all about it.

I hate to say I'm a purist. But, I think for my collection I'd prefer the original.
But, I have never played 2.0 myself. And I would be interested. I just watched streams of it being played.

But, more to your point. This isn't about me, or how I feel. So I can go to hell!!!!

Could you tell me more about mode? Is it good, crap, or just alright?

Was watching Bowen's Papa tutorial on Indianapolis 500 and I got to see the video mode for that one. That mode looks pretty cool, but the game looks even better. Honestly the theme does nothing for me. But, it looks like one heck of a game, and next time I see one I'm going to play it! And of course I will hope to get the video mode.

Is this just the plunge? Or is it a real mode?

Damn... Wish I could see that mode in question. I've only played it one time in person and I played it a few times virtually. Don't think I ever got the video mode on it.
Maybe I'll get lucky and find someone who has live streamed this game.

Edit... Got lucky... Somebody posted a tutorial for this game from their cellphone on youtube. They got to video mode and I could see it. Not the best video mode. In fact, I'd say it barely qualifies. But, its a video mode and its still not the worst I've ever seen. So it counts and I'll add it to the master list.
Thanks for the input guys!

So I was able to find a video of the no fear video mode. Was wondering if anyone knew if there were more than one track for the video mode. In the game it says the name of the track before the mode starts. Just curious is all. Not that it really matters.

Ohhhh... And I think I heard some scuttlebutt but Stern's Stranger Things might have a video mode... I'm not certain. I was watching the stream. And I think there was some chatter about it in the chat. And then of course stern and Dan Danger played it coy... But, then the chat I think said that it was in the mystery rewards option.
I think I will go and rewatch the stream and see if I can see for myself. I wasn't really paying attention too much as I focused on my meal.

Edit... Just rewatched it... Well... Skimmed through it via the timeline preview and I confirmed that reward 16: is a video mode.
We'll see if it sucks or if its a good mode.
I know some people think all video modes suck. But, as I said before. I do like them. And Stern has a decent batting percentage lately. Don't Cross the Streams and the Star Wars ones were good, while GOT is possibly the worst one ever! And Dwight seems proud of that fact. Would have been nice if instead of arguing with Ritchie he would have found a way to work with him and not make the mode suck.
But... That's my insight into a story that he just hinted at... So, maybe he did his best... But, the mode really does suck, and the game would be better without it.
