Quoted from frolic:Ok, we've been through enough Stern "bad video" releases for new games, but that looked worse than normal because there really isn't much more game to be had. It just looked... not fun.
Looks and plays like an EM. Not for me, but if that was the intention, I'd say mission accomplished
I think Stern realizes this is more of a boutique pin. I doubt they expect to sell thousands of them.
Quoted from frolic:Ponder this for a second.... maybe Stern can BE a "boutique" manufacturer. If they can produce this crazy hybrid, they can make anything.
They are definitely TRYING new things. The "Pin", WNBJM, assembling the MMr.
Not everything will be a hit, but I applaud them for trying.
Quoted from Aurich:Man, the hate is strong! It's not a game for people who don't dig simpler, older games. And it's not really an EM for people who love that stuff. So I get that it's stuck in the middle a little.
I can't tell if the score reels are real or an LCD screen. They look almost like a screen in some of that video.
Good question, but their release say this:
Illuminated mechanical score reels
Quoted from frolic:Their "main" pinball teams (Borg, Ritchie, Trudeau) are all working on their next big releases, so I don't see Nellie taking away from us that are interested in new tech games.
Exactly. Nor is assembling MMr. They are moving to a building three times as big. They didn't do that to keep churning out 2-3 games a year.
