The Godfather 50th Anniversary Pinball Featurette (Jersey Jack Pinball, 2023)

[@alltehthingz298]

Literally love at first sight. The art direction on this game is off the charts, inside and out. Incredibly brave to re-imagine the dark, drab and neutral tones of the movies as this opulent and decadent art deco gangster theme -- but its a total home run. And wow, the playfield is just packed. This game is a love letter to pinball. Me want!

[@SDTM]

Nicely stated

[@pinrex47]

I’m glad you guys made this video. It highlights a lot more features than the promo video.

[@MattInglot]

This game is a work of art, but so is this video. Every pinball release needs something like this, you actually know what you are getting.

[@juniorjr.]

Jersey Jack really nails it with the presentation on their games, this table looks like it's up there with Guns N Roses, from the light show, to the topper, the details and decoration all over the playfield, and rich content stuff from the game itself. Here's hoping the gameplay itself matches all of that too.

[@spyderlogan4992]

The most spectacular integration of genius creative design and state of the art pinball mechanics and technology I've ever seen. It is the absolute benchmark. Hands down, Jersey Jack is the SpaceX of game makers. Congratulations and kudos to the entire team. Bravo~!

[@mootsym]

I've played a lot of pinball machines. Not all, not even half, but a lot of the best. THIS might be the most incredible machine I've ever seen. The details behind it and the creation of it, are astounding. I was super skeptical when I heard the rumors of Godfather.. but this is off the charts.

[@alltehthingz298]

yeah this is how i feel too. lots of pinball machines i've enjoyed and admired. but this one i WANT. something about this one is just over the top. i'm not even a Godfather fan but can't wait to get hands on this. hope it plays as well as it looks.

[@SDTM]

That’s some high praise!

[@mootsym]

@@SDTM lol I may be prisoner of the moment. We'll see how it shoots! Can't wait for your review.

[@quantumfx2677]

You guys need to do more videos, There really has never been anyone out there that brings pinball to the table like you guys do it and I can promise you a lot of people feel the same way you just don't hear it. I think we all need to promote your videos and keep getting it out there and get more people on board. Awesome work!

[@pizzashit69]

You promise?

Wow that’s unbelievably kind! The time put into these type of Featurettes/Documentaries make quantity difficult. But we love doing them and are passionate about bringing the best entertainment to the gaming industries.

[@rnettles6241]

You folks are MASTERS of the craft.

[@Mechulus]

This is a masterpiece. I might need to change my lineup soon! I’m really impressed with the extra touches on the CE. Lately CE machines seemed barely better than LE, but this puts the CE in a class of its own. The topper with the twin knocker tommy guns is going to be nuts!

[@davidknoke692]

Thanks for video prep-I ordered mine today from my local dealer. Appreciate your contributions to the pin industry.

[@slickdog78]

With the amount of hype that Foo Fighters has been getting lately. I have a feeling that this game is going to get slept on by a lot of people. And this game 100% deserves attention. This machine is a work of art.

[@mootsym]

This game is going to blow Foo Fighters out of the water. I was super skeptical when I heard the rumors of Godfather.. but this is off the charts.

[@slickdog78]

@@mootsym I felt the same way. I had serious reservations about how they'd turn a drama into a fun pinball playing experience. If it flips half as good as it looks it's going to be really good.

[@JustinMBailey]

Mmmmm I think Foo Fighters looks cool but this (like the movie) is gonna win all the Oscars.

[@SDTM]

@@slickdog78 oooh it’s a really good shooter

[@slickdog78]

@@SDTM Wish I had the spare cash laying around. I'd be hitting you up for a CE for sure. Still regret cancelling the Wonka CE I had on order directly with JJP years back.

[@thomaskresge]

Very cool, glad to see this out! It was a lot of fun being able to provide the music for this and re-work the original score for pinball alongside Unlock Audio. Looking forward to the next one!

[@jonyboyishere]

is it the OG score or revamped?

[@SDTM]

Dang, very cool to hear from ya and thanks for the great work!

[@thomaskresge]

@@jonyboyishere New music, but often reusing themes from the original score. Mark Tremonti's cover in the game is a pretty faithful recreation for the purists!

[@BenLaurence]

When given the proper assets and allowed to be creative, JJP NAILS IT on the theme! The game looks great!!!

[@stonedcommander]

This looks fantastic in every way. Best art design I've ever seen...Really captures the spirit of the franchise.

[@douglashart2195]

Super cool pin! Unfortunately I was playing a drinking game, doing a shot every time the word “iconic” was used. Now I’m on the liver transplant list. Thanks a lot JJP!

[@xtradude]

An instant classic - no less!

[@FishingwithZnM]

Amazing light show and a simply impressive!

[@mrweelr]

Wow Eric and team, I initially had zero interest in this title, but after watching this video and seeing the eye candy pictures, I’m considering letting something go to get my hands on a CE. Your games just ooze quality far and above any pinball maker…just love all of my JJP games and have never considered selling any of them. Really outstanding work on Godfather and that Slash guitar music is just amazing! JJP continues to impress game after game

[@King_Henry]

Absolutely great production Zach. And looks like an absolutely beautiful machine. Hopefully you get a discounted CE for making a top notch video here!

[@SDTM]

Thanks! And yeah I absolutely must have one of these games!

[@pinballdan]

Wow..Great looking games and features !!

Yes, we filmed it. That’s us shooting it in gameplay. Sorry for the poor skill hahaha.

[@jango381]

Beautiful looking game

[@danyatchyshyn5459]

Looks great, much respect for the time and effort put into it. Still hung up a bit on the integration but not as much after watching. Price is always the concern, just sucks that the average pinballer wants to buy it but can't afford it. Obviously the intended demographic isn't the average player. Good on them of they get enough people to buy it.

[@cheeseandbeans8701]

After GNR I’m hesitant about JJP, but this looks really good, hopefully it works for more than a week

[@davidknoke692]

Looks incredible. Is a standard body - from the video it appeared wide to me. - hope to acquire a CE

[@SDTM]

Yes standard body

[@pinbruh]

Board game idea is pretty cool. Code sounds amazing.

[@SDTM]

Certainly plenty to do and gonna be very difficult to get to the end.

[@artmurphy3623]

I am a boardgame fanatic and when I heard they aligned the ruleset to more of a boardgame feel I dropped my Foo LE and put my deposit on the GF CE

I just wish CE's were "reasonably" priced at 12K, and LE's, (the new standard) at 9K/9500.

For sure! Whew, fast and flowy. So many ways the ball can travel!

[@CrimsonID4]

So I heard a lot of great names mentioned at the start but did not hear Al Pacino's name(or John Cazele's estate) mentioned. Did they pass on being involved with this game? (That's going to make doing a sequel to this pinball game VERY difficult, lol) Either way great job on a great looking game!

[@SDTM]

Pacino is all over this game. Visuals, sounds, art, etc

[@CrimsonID4]

@@SDTM Excellent! That's what I figured but thought I asked! (There was one pinball machine based on a film, I forget which one, that had to use a look-a-like for one of its characters due to not getting clearances by the actor that portrayed him.
