After officially revealing its next game, a remake of the 1996 Williams classic Tales of the Arabian Nights pinball machine on Monday, yesterday Pedretti gaming shared a short video of the game being played by 5-time Pinball World Champion Daniele Accari on YouTube. Rub the lamp and make a wish… Tales of the Arabian Nights Remake is here! Pedretti Gaming, in partnership with Planetary Pinball Supply Inc. (PPS), proudly presents its newest pinball machine: Tales of the Arabian Nights Remake. Inspired by the legendary 1996 classic, this remake brings back the magic of one of the most iconic and beloved pinball machines ever created, combining the original gameplay experience with modern technology, immersive RGB lighting, enhanced DMD animations, online connectivity, and a stunning new visual atmosphere. Available in two models — Legacy Edition and 30th Anniversary Edition — the game celebrates the original masterpiece while introducing new features designed to make the experience even more magical. We were also honored to welcome Daniele Acciari, five-time pinball world champion, to our factory in Bagnatica to test the game and share his first impressions. The magic has returned. The legend is alive again.
According to the distributor Tilt Amusements, the Pro version of Stern Pinball's newest game Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye has begun shipping to distros and will begin to arrive at locations shortly. I can't wait to see one in the wild and try it out.
UPDATE: The distributor MAD pinball just shared a picture of Transformers on the floor at Finney's Arcade & Parlor in Canton, Ohio. This is the first one that I've seen out there. I'll share any more that I see.
OK, here's another. This one is at the Game Galaxy Arcade in Smyrna TN:
Speaking of Stern, the company recently shared a video celebrating its 40th Anniversary of making games on YouTube:
Minutes ago, we got another quick look at the playfield for Jersey Jack's upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog Pinball machine. As a reminder, the game's full reveal will happen next Tuesday, June 23rd.
Last up, I have news from the arcade side of things. Well, technically this is news about a home console game but it definitely is interesting.
