Stern Pinball, Inc. and Toho International, Inc., the subsidiary of the Japanese entertainment studio Toho Co., Ltd, announce a new line of pinball machines based on the iconic Toho film franchise featuring the King of the Monsters, Godzilla! The Godzilla pinball machines are available in Pro, Premium, and Limited Edition (LE) models.
Godzilla is the longest running film franchise created by Toho, with thirty-two films produced since 1954. The popularity of the films have made Godzilla one of the most recognizable symbols in pop culture worldwide. In addition to numerous accolades and cinematic awards for film, music, and special effects, the Godzilla film series and licensed characters have generated over $1 billion in merchandise sales around the world.
In this monster-packed pinball adventure, players become Godzilla! The evil aliens, the Xiliens, use mind control rays to take control of the monsters King Ghidorah, Gigan, Megalon, Ebirah, and Titanosaurus. The Xiliens are demanding all of Earth’s resources. Godzilla and its allies, Mothra, Rodan, and Anguirus, battle the Xilien invasion with the goal of conquering Mechagodzilla to become King of the Monsters!
Chaos and destruction ensue on the playfield with Godzilla multiball, started by shooting one of the various shots in and through the centrally located skyscraper. In the Premium and LE models, a motor actuates the skyscraper, diverting balls through each of its five stories as it collapses, ultimately locking three balls on its roof. The Premium/LE playfield also features a collapsing bridge ramp. This animated breakaway ramp is guarded by a custom molded Godzilla and can divert pinballs back to the flipper or directly onto the playfield during Bridge Attack multiball.
On the Premium and LE models, Mechagodzilla features a motorized three-bank target set which rotates to reveal a spinner and jump ramp. Players will engage the Kaiju in battle by launching pinballs with the jump ramp and bashing the magnetic ball catch on its chest to start Mechagodzilla multiball.
All models of Godzilla pinball machines feature an innovative “Magna Grab” magnetic newton ball, capable of catching pinballs from five different shot paths, including off the plunge. This device can also divert pinballs to set up shots from the upper left flipper. The game also includes the iconic title song “Godzilla” by Blue Oyster Cult, stunning hand-drawn artwork by Zombie Yeti, intricate wireform ramps, three spinning targets (Heat Ray, Mechagodzilla, and Monster Rampage), three flippers, three “powerline” themed stand-up targets and a UFO pop pumper. The game highlights video and audio from ten* Toho Showa Era Godzilla films to create a one-of-a-kind immersive Godzilla pinball experience.
Godzilla pinball machines also debut Stern’s Insider Connected system, which includes a QR code reader on the bottom arch that enables players to interact with the game and this new network in a variety of ways. Stern Insider Connected provides new entertainment and player engagement features and an operator focused tool set to drive location play and remotely manage every aspect of the machines. Insider Connected goes live with the launch of Godzilla, with the full scope of features scheduled for roll out over the next year.
Only 1,000 LE machines will be available. The LE version includes an exclusive full color mirrored backglass inspired by Mechagodzilla, iconic custom cabinet artwork, custom high gloss metallic silver powder-coated pinball armor, a custom designer autographed bottom arch, exclusive inside art blades, upgraded audio system, anti-reflection pinball playfield glass, shaker motor, a sequentially numbered plaque, and a Certificate of Authenticity.

Dude, your pinball collection is sick...Love it!!

[@antonvlasjuk3079]

If i would buy a Godzilla, i would absoluteky buy a Premium! The toys on the Premium/LE are just amazing!!

[@RETROCENGO]

Yes the first 20times, after that you wish you had a Pro version with constant high speed action🤩🤩

[@antonvlasjuk3079]

@@RETROCENGO Pro flows good... But the toys on the Premium/ LE kinda make you wanna pay extra cash! / L

Thanks bud🤩

His my uncle 😅😂😂

[@JUICY_TIME]

So awesome👍 too bad it might be close to 2 years to get a premium now. From what a vendor told me over the weekend. Great video.

[@RETROCENGO]

Thank you brother. Yes Stern is backlogged 5-8000 machines. This pin is worth the wait😊

[@user82938]

I'm OK with buying the Pro, because I don't want to have the extra mechs to fix when they break. There's someone on pinside doing a mod where they add the powerline towers you're talking about and it looks really nice.

[@RETROCENGO]

Congratulations with your Pro model, I also have an unboxing video with that version, feel free to check it out. Nothing to break on the pro model, look under it, totally empty 😊🤗 But still an excellent shooter

[@user82938]

@@RETROCENGO My first pin purchase, so I'm playing it safe with easy maintenance :)

[@RETROCENGO]

@@user82938 it’s a great choice, if you can’t get it/long waiting list etc. consider Deadpool pro also😊 Godzilla is absolutely sterns best pin to date

[@TampaTec]

I got Godzilla pro it plays faster than premium but toys are cool on premium. I hope to see battle challenge mode update like avengers Infinity has.

[@RETROCENGO]

@@TampaTec Pro plays great, best pro model pinball from Stern. But yea toy mechanics are cool in a pinball machine

[@michaeljkasnter]

just saw an LE in a box at my Distributor

[@RETROCENGO]

Buy it

[@MegaHowtoMan]

GZ LE is hard to find. Especially with playfield protector. Both good. Close the outlanes for longer games.

[@RETROCENGO]

Yea, Sterns best game to date, I hope the supply will be better soon

[@johnmcclane2139]

Nice videos! Where do you get the playfield protectors from?

[@RETROCENGO]

Thanks buddy. Pinball universe and Freddy’s pinball paradise

[@danhnguyen4769]

Hi , Do the update is automatically with Stern connect or we have to do manually ? Thank

[@RETROCENGO]

You just enter the menu and press update and it will search and install

[@robertbirkahn7089]

Which one would you recommend

[@RETROCENGO]

100% the Pro version, LE is too much stop and go, pro is fast and fun

[@donjaun540]

I like them both but I think the pro is better because you can mod it with much cooler parts.

[@RETROCENGO]

Exactly buddy

[@chrisnugent8780]

Do you mind dm'ing me about the parts you can mod with? Looking to purchase my first machine, and I am very convinced for the Premium, but if I can mod the Pro, all the better.

[@donjaun540]

@@chrisnugent8780 So I like them both. The premium however has the cool falling building. The pro can accept all the mods too though except the building collapsing. On KZbin I searched Godzilla mods and saw a bunch of cool 😎 videos. I hope you get what you want.👍

[@chrisnugent8780]

@@donjaun540 Thank-You, Buddy! Really Appreciate It! The sell for me is the building, and the bridge.

[@donjaun540]

@@chrisnugent8780 I am so happy for you. I agree that the building is awesome.

Looks great man. This game needs Pin stadium lights

[@nicoy3k]

It really doesn’t

[@RETROCENGO]

Godzilla is super bright Stern has installed lights over the flippers. Really bright pin

[@gavinfrancis8271]

@@RETROCENGO that’s good news then. I’ll put that money to other mods😀 really like the mezel building.
