SDTM: 2024 Pinball Sneak Peek: Rumors, Speculation, Dirty Secrets, & Predictions

[@paulward4845]

Always fun to watch/listen to these episodes.

[@SDTM]

We love the comments bud, keep up the support! Thanks!

[@vectored2fly]

I can finally run off to my little corner in my house without any interruptions and bask in the glory of of another SDTM episode!

[@SDTM]

We will talk dirty to ya

[@vectored2fly]

Don't threaten me with a good time =)@@SDTM

[@TheGamingHoser]

Bill and Ted would be my choice for best "Keanu" themed game. Rules would be awesome. You have to collect all the historical personages for "Final Report" multiball. Other modes could be beating Death in a game of twister, helping Station construct good robot us' to battle he evil robot us'. For Napoleon, you'd have to incorporate a repeatable ramp shot leading to a "waterloo" water slide that feeds an upper flipper that can repeat the shot over and over.

[@stevespringfield]

The guy that played Napoleon in the movie was in my bands film clip a few years back. Was so awesome and of course I was asking him about Bill and Ted stuff the whole time....

[@-COZ]

Enjoy every episode/video! Thanks for the content!

[@foxvader1]

Spike 3 could allow a user, logged in with IC the ability to be connected via bluetooth with headphones so when you are on location you can hear the sound, call out and sound effects. That would be cool.

[@Bravesdarrell8552]

Goonies would be a dream come true for me !

[@nathanmaber1276]

Boys, I love your videos so much but you must do more of them next year please, promise!! great vid. Here’s to an awesome 2024

[@SDTM]

There’s always room for more

[@michaeljkasnter]

“Bill and Teds Excellent Pinball Adventure “ !!! Wake up Stern Pinball!!!!!

[@TheBillmanl82]

Perfect way to start the day! Love the content guys.

[@SDTM]

Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for hanging out.

[@danyatchyshyn5459]

I would like to see a Mission Impossible pin. Thanks for the video, appreciate your hard work

[@TampaTec]

My Most wanted pins 2024 #1 Matrix Pin #2 Fast and furious #3 Harry Potter #4 White water 2 #5 Road Trip 4:20 Godzilla 70th pin Looks good . Spike 3 I like to see bigger screen and in-playfield screen too. Yes, Metallica Vault pin but with color DMD. Jaws pin needs multi-ball eating Shark then I'm sold. John Wick pin would be fun because it is about shooting bad guys so bad guy targets would be perfect. I'm more interested in Matrix trilogy pin. Not interested in Pokemon not my generational interest but maybe next 5 years with spike 3 could interest others like u said. Dungeons and dragons is decent theme but not really into He-man. Spider-man into multi-verse pin I would sell fast. Journey and Imagine Dragons would be cool music pins. Steve Ritchie would be perfect fit for Fast & furious (High Speed3) or Top GUN (F-14) JJ Harry potter pin I hope for wide-body pin, I think it would be coming 2024/2025 by Steve Ritchie or EM. Labyrinth and Looney Tunes pin is a good value pins for what they included, I'm into looney tunes more so. I Like original theme pins the most like White water 2 or Medieval madness 2 and Road Trip by Tiltbob pinball.

[@touchingevil2302]

Masters of the universe pinball table YES PLEASE!!!

[@forgottenhelm1299]

I really wanna see, as a Skater, a Thrasher pinball machine. I believe the theme would be absolutely perfect for pinball

[@SDTM]

Interesting

[@IanJacobyandcompany]

Very excited to see the color scheme of a John Wick pin. Black + neon lights would be such a rad aesthetic that isn't used much in pinball.

[@freakishbob]

The fantasy theme of my dreams for a pinball would have to be Stephen King's Dark Tower. I believe that theme would fit pinball perfectly, KaTet multiball. Big dark tower toy in the middle. all things follow the beam lanes. Lobstrosity Drop targets etc. I want it to exist so bad.

[@ClayChambers-x8u]

I need a 80’s Gi Joe cartoon edition pinball machine to be made

[@Alpha67Wolf]

When are they gonna or why don't they make an OZZY OSBOURNE/BLACK SABBATH pinball machine? He's worthy.... He's worthy

[@SuprJoinT]

Spooky needs to do a Trilogy of the Dead, based on George Romero's Night, Dawn, and Day of the Dead. Perhaps all in one machine. I don't think you could sell 3 different ones. If I had to pick one film to base a machine on I guess Dawn would be awesome, though I think you could do the trilogy in one pin. Probably wouldn't be so hard to get that license either. I actually believe Night is public domain still... Other Spooky pins ID like to see, Hellraiser, Exorcist, Evil Dead....

[@SDTM]

I’m all in on Exorcist (Zach)

[@SuprJoinT]

@@SDTM Of course you'd HAVE to have a possessed Regan toy with spinning head, and maybe a Pazuzu statue somewhere. Exorcist would be an AMAZING theme. Imagine the call outs! I was 4 years old when it came out and my dad took me to the drive in to see it. While I went to sleep on the backseat of our 72 Maverick I heard all the scary dialogue and it scarred me for life. I slept with my parents for like 6 months and my mom was PISSED at my dad for a good while.

[@mcnillerandsons7906]

Yes. Vaults need to come with the new screens and cut scenes. Simpsons anniversary anyone? I grew up watching Potter every year and they even released on my bday each year 11/17 but I’m out unless they get original film assets.

[@SDTM]

That would be damn cool right?

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Enjoyed the stream! Thank you!

[@SDTM]

Thanks for coming

[@ScottParisi]

Fun to talk through everything. If Eight Ball Deluxe happens, that would be amazing. Fingers are crossed that my Pulp Fiction LE deposit actually turns into a machine in my lineup.

[@darinswift490]

I feel you Scott, I only owe $400 more on my PF LE. If it doesn’t turn into a machine in my lineup I will lose it lol (I will be a mushroom cloud laying MF’r) lol …. Best of luck man.

[@ScottParisi]

@@darinswift490, thank you. Interesting, BTW. Literally last Week, I had a thought about paying $500/m on top of my double deposit to lessen the lump sum at the end for PF. You've inspired me. I'm going to call in $500 right now.

[@jg7634]

if they ever do Point Break... the free game number match sequence when its game over needs to be the scene were Utah fires his gun in the air shooting "NOOOOO!" as he lets Brody get away. the bullets hit the screen to form a number to show you if you matched or not.

[@SDTM]

Hahahaha

[@MrAndrewmoskos]

Zach teasing: "I'm up. I'm smart. I play roulette." Even your bloopers are funny and charming!

[@leeprice8153]

I'm liking that Fifth Element rumor!

[@TheCompleteNerd]

You guys are always fun to listen to!

[@ytobiter]

What I love about SDTM is that they give you the best stuff in less than an hour without ever having to touch the sewer that is Pinside. Thanks guys! Looking forward to all your hot takes in 2024!

[@SDTM]

SDTM: Keepin Pinheads Clean Since 2016 haha

[@novareviewer4456]

That place is definitely cessy

[@BradyD-Productions]

I'm new to pinball, what's wrong with pinside? Is it generally considered bad to use the marketplace? I'm seen good experiences with the forums, is that not the case? Thanks.

[@ytobiter]

@@BradyD-Productions At their best the Pinside forums are the best community resource going. But there are also way too many trolls ready to die on the tiniest hill for the dumbest of reasons. That can definitely dilute the signal-to-noise ratio of conversations. As for the Marketplace, I've had nothing but success selling machines there. It's been a great match maker. Good luck!

[@scubasteve6987]

I'm waiting for a Futurama and a Princess Bride pinball machine!

[@JK-fv9xk]

2024 prediction. 12 sdtm videos at a minimum

[@SDTM]

Always

[@jdteney]

Where's the Ramones pin? Joey loved pinball

[@michaeljkasnter]

Where is Beavis and Butthead?

[@Suthanai20682]

12:25 There's actually 2 pokemon pinball spinoff games around 20 years ago. Gottlieb did made Super mario bros. pinball with nintendo license in 1992. and a few years ago, SEGA made a pokemon virtual gambling arcade machine for japan arcade. So with a good company and right mindset, there's a chance.

[@marcosgallegos6242]

In my perfect world this would be the newest pins to break the bank for me: Music Theme - MUSE; Spooky PB - Scream; Stern - B&W Disney Pin; JJP - Universal Monsters B&W

[@bamfett1]

Dungeons and Dragons is a dream theme. Would be nice to have a new Stern D&D pin next to my 1987 Bally. I really hope we see a modernized version of this theme.

[@Nintegageo]

Hasbro would ruin it.

[@robe4314]

I love these guys. I could listen to them talk about Pinball all day!!!

[@TommyTheCat_05]

I love how competitive pinball has been getting, we're approaching a second golden age for the game and im here for it man

[@jamest3402]

Top Gun would be an insta-buy

[@o._c.]

A Wu tang clan pin would be awesome. Daisy Age De La Soul, or even A Tribe Called Quest.

[@svenop]

Other distributors have told me on visits to Stern they've gotten word from employees about upcoming games. It's hard for me to believe Zach isnt in the know. Praise for acting skills Zach

[@funandfailsgaming2665]

FYI, for safety reasons and to do your extra speakers for surround sound systems on the Top Gun game what they could do is an ATMOS Speaker Pinball Topper to provide the surround sound experience. It it would only really work in home setups and not in arcades due to noise pollution and room sizes.

[@Mark-hb5zf]

Would Jaws be a Prem/LE only, (no Pro) given the rumored number of toys?

[@tmnichols3]

I would love to see a LCD TRON or LOTR

[@Mo_Ketchups]

I pray these two Gomers don’t have any sway in any pin decisions for the future. 👀😮‍💨🤦‍♂️ I was waitin for one of em to fruit out on an Urkel machine! 😣

[@SDTM]

Oh shit yeah, Family Matters all day long!

[@Sanidadministries]

WE NEED A “KONG” pinball machine! King Kong!!!

[@SDTM]

We don’t disagree there

[@darinswift490]

Yes, you guys do bring joy.. thanks for that, and hope your Holidays are muey FantasticO bro’s…..

[@SDTM]

Thanks buddy

[@mrfuriouser]

Nothing about HAPPY GILMORE (great shirt, Zach!)??? That is another property just aching for a pin. I'm in for certain. Looks like some hot pinball action next year, I'm sure I won't be able to live without a couple of these bad boys 🎉 Now, where to put them...

[@sovreignstep]

70th anniversary godzilla just announced?? Were yall guessing or hinting?

[@SDTM]

@@sovreignstep gasp!

[@ericmiller3708]

In terms of Spooky releases...The Shining would be amazing along with The Thing.

[@thezombiebiker]

Cup-head would be an incredible theme! Tons to work with

[@alb2620]

The Cuphead homebrew game is a ton of fun: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJK0Z6RplMejnpI

[@mcnillerandsons7906]

If they did Pokémon they’d have to do Gen 1 to land with the people who were into it (me) to trigger the nostalgia. It would also have to include all the episodes and be based on the show not the card game. It would probably have to be a progression game like Venom because advancing through the story and catching all the Pokémon or becoming a Pokémon champion would involve too much to pack into a single game and stay true to theme unless you’re IE Pinball

[@JP-xq7fo]

Never Ending Story themed pin would be a pretty cool

[@TJ-Network100]

Would love to see an Army of Darkness. The camp and comedy of this cult classic would have such potential! - Blue light special, "...Hardware aile 12, buy smart, buy S-Mart!" The call outs would be fantastic. "This is my Boom-Stick!"

[@rexdeanrds]

"I'd play galactic tank force" 😅😅

[@jamieveinot3428]

Another great show fellas. I would love a Matrix pin so hope that becomes a reality. As for my dream pin...put in a good word with Stern for a Spider-man '67 theme for me;)

[@SDTM]

Fingers crossed!

[@peopleschampgarage7869]

I'd like to see a Fast & Furious pin

[@Yarmuck]

The whole 5th Element rumor came from Adam Savage playing Labyrinth pinball in his geek loft. There just happened to be a head sculpt of the 5th element turtle robot guy's head on the wall by him while he played. But if you look at all the pictures, he has all sorts of nerd stuff hung everywhere! He's got a T Rex skull and a Darth Vader helm in the same shot. Does this mean that BoF is going to do a Night at The Museum as well? Myth Busted!

[@MidniteClimax]

What about a Spooky dual release of Evil Dead (2?) AND Army of Darkness as the other model?

[@singtomeofautumnleaves]

great to see you again fellas xo

[@SDTM]

To you as well!

[@foobeer]

5:14 Bone’s face at the spike 3 comment 🤯🤩😂

[@gallimead]

Rocky Horror?, nightmare before Christmas??, Michael Jackson?, Highlander??. A final chapter to High Speed: Interstate??

[@junior_pinball]

If they make a vault of metallica I want more songs and maybe some 72 seasons somgs

[@mleonard724]

This!! I would love another Metallica machine with new music from hardwired and 72 seasons! Though I’d still settle for a chance to own a vault of the original I suppose.

[@eonbree8593]

pokemon?! they may be making a *pokemon* pinball? dang xD thats a tempting one to get already, same for that cuphead for that matter! i do like that monochromatic blue godzilla

[@chrisgrossnickle1479]

Black and white......the original NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD Also, a colorful Return OF THE LIVING DEAD cab. Both have built in fan bases and the art and colors are incredible

[@robe4314]

Top Gun would be a day 1 buy for me no questions asked!!

[@umpar.9582]

Some of the tables you rumored like Masters of the Universe, John Wick, Pokemon. Harry Potter, have been built in Virtual Pinball and are a blast!

[@SDTM]

Now only if we can get real pinball

[@o._c.]

Lol 😂.

[@o._c.]

Having them be physical would be even better. Vpins are cool 😎 with the concepts though

[@ArthurMazzucatto]

Topgun is my dream theme for a Pinball. It would be perfect to be sitting besides my Williams F14 ...

[@ericvanvoorhis2761]

Do you guys ever get any terminator2 games in?

[@aromad5557]

I love your Dino background. 3 of my favorite pins. 👏🏻👍🏻

[@mig_zvm]

I really want to see a blade runner or some original cyberpunk themed pinball table. Speaking of book tie-in's, Neuromancer?

[@RichieCavsRetrocade]

Totally down for Nightmare on Elm St. - What I would love to see with that is some sort of design where the table changes based on whether you're in the real world or the dream world. So you have challenges to meet to try and stay awake and if you don't hit them in time and fall asleep, I want to see the entire table go black with like an inside cover so you can't see like you're falling asleep and in the cabinet the playfield can flip and when the shield is lifted the playfield is lifted and is the dream world. I know I'm dreaming haha but I like to dream haha about next level. The whole table flip thing I originally thought about like what if Stranger Things had done that where when you go into the upside down, the table goes dark and the glass gets covered inside, thd table flips on the inside and comes up back with a playfield that much like the show, is the same playfield as the regular world, but completely made to look like you're in the upside down. Again, the logistics of a flipping table is nuts :) I just want to figure out a way to completely change the look of the playfield when it fits the IP being done like Stranger Things or Nightmare on Elm St.

[@paulbrisley226]

One of games a I played alot of when it came down to a pin ball game was "Actually" Pokemon pinball for the Game Boy Advance. I've always thought to myself when playing a pinball game of today is "They should do a Pokemon game cabinet" especially now when I see this video and seeing the tech of today. The QR code apps that transfer from machine to machine and the digital screen at the base (Princess Bride did this) was something I never thought was a thing. Integrating something like that with Pokemon Pinball from Gameboy Advance? For any pinball designer out there, I say this "You gotta make something of this, There's simple fun in the beginner, and there can be depth for a wizard ESPECIALLY when you got to collect them all". My comment on Dungeons and Dragons: The would be really sweet as well. Lord of the Rings is already a top game. Lord of the Rings + Venom mechanics = DND.

[@OneLovePsych]

If and when a Harry Potter pinball is made, it will be the greatest machine of all-time IMHO. Please for the love of god, get that license ppl!

[@davidtucker4044]

Prince and the Revolution is the ONLY pin I want to see.

[@SDTM]

Oooooh Prince me like

[@jeffb.7403]

Simpson’s. We want Simpsons!

[@philipdixon]

Keanu was in JM. I think any vault that moves to a screen, they'd have to pay for assets. Karate Kid FTW.

[@SDTM]

Good calls

[@TiltingT]

Dungeons and Dragons with the level upgrade cide like in Venom could work very well!.. Masters of the Universe would be a dream theme ..being that i am 46 years old and still have all my He-Man toys! Lol

[@jgord1569]

I like these guys. They seem like a good time

[@tiki-ed5573]

Gonna need a ghostbusters vault

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

PRINCESS BRIDE or FIFTH ELEMENT. Or BOTH! Take my money now… And…Princess Bride is my dream theme pin like BTTF for Zach.

[@SDTM]

It’s coming

[@adamwebster7542]

Jaws and John Wick came true. Now we wait to see if Back to the Future, Pokemon and Harry Potter become a reality.

[@willempjebelgie]

I love the hobbit so harry potter would be also a dream theme!

[@popeye7833]

a new godzilla table or just colour change ?

[@unisolus]

If a new Spike 3 Metallica comes out that would be awesome

[@kyleharrison6689]

What about LEGO? I think you could do a lot with that theme.

[@SDTM]

Tough to pull off but if done right then yeah

[@scottoneal2744]

Not a Pokémon fan but it will be HUGE!! I get killed on Pinside for this but the DLC/perptual development for that game would be sooo cool. Would love to see a Beetlejuice, and I'm all in on the Matrix! I'm going to agree with Greg here on HP and be.. "the book is better" guy but yeah. The books are better.

[@kyleflounder9783]

I find it so interesting that in the 70s, 80s, and even early 90s pinball could sell original IPs. Think of the classics from Williams in particular (Whirlwind, Taxi, or Gorgar are some examples that aren't IPs from outside the pinball world as far as I know??). Why doesn't that work in 2024? People are begging Hollywood for originality, for new ideas, for something besides sequels and conversion of brands onto the big screen... so why can't the arcade industry follow that? I'm curious if it is the tiny market for pinball that causes this issue, or if it's the operator/player base themselves, or if it's something else. Didn't sit well with me when I saw the cringing over original IPs from a pinball manufacturer. Loved this discussion though!

[@johnmcclane2139]

Any Spider-Man that isn’t the real Spider-Man would not do well. I also don’t see any new Star Wars property doing well either. I want The Fifth Element or Matrix or Indy or BTTF or LoTR.

[@LaserSharkPhotoablations]

D&D would have to based on 5e, but id still want to play it.

[@alejandroalartiz9451]

Not largest screen, but longer one. They could remove the classic speakers, and integrated inside of a new panoramic screen. Just like Sony did with their hi-end tvs.

[@craigfierce7400]

Craig' 2 cents: I agree with Greg, I am not interested in a b/w godzilla. Jeremy rocked the colors and design! Love the new Elvira b/w and Munsters b/w. We need a spike 3!!! Tired of waiting for graphics and animations and slow modes- annoying. I don't need a larger screen, just better UI on the screen. There is so much information on these screens it is tough to read in a quick glance. Love music pin designs but can't own them. The songs are too repetitive we need at least 30 songs, then maybe. Cuphead would be awesome. The one off was amazing. Cuphead animations are closer to Fleisher Bros animations of 1930. Dungeon and dragons could be awesome so many possibilities. Back to the Future without the assets uggh, it would have to have awesome game play like j.p.

[@SkitzoFPV]

It’s interesting that you brought up Heman. I believe American Pinball owns the rights to Masters of the Universe.

[@SDTM]

That would be cool

[@DarkstalkerDF]

I’d like there to be Stern pinball machines of: DC Titans, Doom Patrol, Harley Quinn, Netflix One Piece, Spice Girls, S Club

[@McShiggley]

Gringot’s Vault table that spits out tokens like Safe Cracker.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

pinball prices are sky high and need to come down to affordable levels!

[@Tony-zg1xe]

If anyone made a Harry Potter machine my KISS LE would 100 percent be getting sold for the highest Harry Potter package lol. I think a Harry Potter table would finally get my girlfriend into the hobby in a big way. Always enjoy your guys takes on pinball. My favorite pinball channel.

[@Duddylee]

I really think Power Rangers would be one of the best IPs for a Pin. The theme, toys, sounds and story would just print money. Then throw in all of the gemerations of power rangers you could go with 3-4 cabinets just like you described with Harry Potter.

[@junior_pinball]

I think stern’s next pin is gonna be jaws or ozzy osbourne

[@chrisjenkin7777]

JJP will make avatar next!!!

[@thezombiebiker]

I would love a new godzilla art package but, someone other than Zombie Yeti, sorry, just don’t like how he contrasts colors.

[@nickgerula]

Another great one guys. Lots of really great possibilities here!! Would LOVE to see Jaws & He-Man come into fruition. I want to see the following at somepoint down the road: -Killer Klowns from Outer Space - Big Trouble in Little China -The Thing -Die Hard I think these could be A LOT of fun and look really cool. The future is bright, can not wait to see what is coming!!!

[@svenop]

Fx digital pinball has a great back to the future table.... if a small videogame pinball company can get the license for Back to the Future im sure these legit pinball companies can do it
