What would be super cool (but, I don't know how viable or possible this would be) if you could buy different playfields and swap them in and out, giving you the ability to have choices and not be confined to, and eventually burn out on, just one single playfield. Either way, I'm definitely still extremely excited about it and have been waiting for something like this to hit the market for a long time now! Without a doubt, I would have ZERO issue dropping up to $1000, maybe even a bit more, to put this in my house! I have NEVER been able to afford, both financially AND space wise, a full sized mechanical cabinet. Closest I've been able to be able to match the experience, is a heavily modded AtGames Legends Pinball, with a full on 7.1 SSF setup, using Dayton HDN-8 exciters, Dayton Bass Shakers, 6" Subwoofer, and a pair of Cleveland Software Design solenoids, running VPX and FX3 ROM Emulators. It's actually really fun and scratches that itch, but at the end of the day, mechanical cabinet is still "The Dream"! 😂
That looks about the size of a 1up pinball. $800 is a good price in my opinion for mechanical. I'm excited for this. Thanks for making this video. I could see myself filling a room up with these pinballs same as having a room for 3/4 arcades
Well, it IS a 3/4th's scale form factor, which is what A1Up produces theirs at (excluding the XL/Pro series line). I think the guy even said it was approximately about 10% bigger than A1Up's virtual pinball cabinets.
It's interesting to see someone attempt this... but I have major doubts. That price point is way too ambitious for it to actually turn out to be what we would hope for. If they can meet the price range they're hoping for, I can see it being a very simplistic playfield that would get repetitious and boring fast, and the parts would have to be cheap to fit in that budget so it would feel cheap. I honestly wouldn't get hopes up too high... without them showing a playfield at all or computer system for the game... we really saw nothing.
Thanks for your thoughts! We will be sure to keep you updated. I can’t argue with your opinion and honestly, you make some great points. I think we are optimistic and hopeful that this works. But after meeting Jerry, we really want him and this company to succeed. Time will tell.
Ok. Except, they already mentioned which tables they are working on first (Alice in Wonderland and 2nd license they are shooting for was Star Wars). So,. It doesn't sound like it'll be some boring, original, non-IP playfield.
@@FilthTribeFTP Yeah, I watched the same video you did... they said they plan on working on IPs that are in the public domain. When I say boring, I mean simplistic, just as I said... and yes they will be "original" playfields in the sense that they won't be replicating real pinball machines. Just because they will be using themes that people like, doesn't mean the game design and playfield layout is going to be fun. The fact that they are just now starting the playfield design, tooling for the parts, game code/design, and anything else needed to have these in full production by the end of next year... at the price point they are claiming, tells me that these things will be closer on par with children's toys. I mean, that wood and parts costs that they showed at the show, alone, normally retails between $600-$800 for those bare bones in any other equivalent home arcade product. All I'm saying is none of this adds up... get your hopes up if you want, I guess... lol
$1500 woudl not be 'approaching these other guys'. Why try to come in at $800-$1000, making it difficult, resulitng in less 'under glass'? I think that a mechanical pin up to $2000, maybe even $2500 and it would still be a huge win for so many. This is not even close to the others.
