Stern Pinball's John Wick Pinball: Hands-On Overview

[@DavidVanderburgh]

Damn good video Travis/pinball co. I finally played JW pro locally…game was surprising- really quite stunning. Refreshing new design (ok somewhat a fan layout, but still unique) Code still immature but great potential. I am not a big JW fan, but this game is definitely intriguing. Shots are tight and I had many bricks, but then shots started falling-fast game. Great flow when shots are made. Pinball Co with Travis are really killing the pinball videos- keep em coming.

Appreciate it! More to come very soon.

This was an outstandingly thorough talk-through. Insta-sub! 🤘 I bought the Premium Saturday and it’ll be in my pad by the end of the week. I wanted ZERO to do w this pin when it was revealed. I don’t like the art & not a fanboy. HOWEVER, after putting 15 flips on the Premium, my _adrenaline_ surged more than any pin I can think of offhand. 👀😮‍💨 It’s a “boss-mode” pin - FOR - ‘SHORE.’ No freebies, no gimmes, no quarter-it demands you PLAY BETTER, & that’s EXACTLY why I bought it. (Plus the sound & callouts played huge in that adrenaline rush I mentioned)!

Congrats on jumping in the pool. You're on point with all your observations. The game plays fast no doubt. Enjoy the many fun hours ahead of you.

The so satisfying portion of the video hurt. My James Bond 60th and Jurassic Park 30th still live with their plastic wrap. Wick has that brutal TMNT feel and is fun to play. Looking forward to the evolution of the game code.

[@ThePinballCompany]

I once too left plastic wrap on my games and electronics. It took me years to breakthrough, but it's possible!

Thanks for your thoughts. We had an expo here last week where I had the oppotunity to try most of the recent games. JWpro was actually my favorite. It kicked my butt for 2 or 3 Games and then it clicked in my brain. As a beginner, or maybe intermediate player, I was able to get 70M by playing 4 jobs, 1 adversary and 3 multiballs. On the premium, the crate will be too easy. Really liked that hitting it was returning by the vuk to the right flipper and a small nudge or microflip left flipper back again at the crate. The car kicker is A+. I think the premium is turning in front of the Continental, bu no Kicker. Anyway, this with artwork, pro FTW.

[@ThePinballCompany]

I had a chance to play the premium version recently. It does make qualifying jobs much easier. Downside, I have experienced more drains on the right side due to nudging a ball from the outlane post into the crate and back down the outlane.

[@jth1670]

Played the premium too. The best thing is the drop target which can block the club or lock a ball in. The lock was annoying because there was a huge delay before the next ball was kicked in the shooter lane. Will hopefully be fixed in code. 0,82 right now. Turning car...the pro Kicker is better IMO. Crate, like I guessed was too easy, but felt less wood chopping. If I ever buy a JW, will probably go for the pro. But saving for a BTTF as my first machine. If the machine does not fill expectations, I might go with JWpro + another pro instead. Thanks!

[@H0otz]

Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@vitkomusic6624]

I played it today. John wick premium. Its easy to control the ball. And i don't have time to check what i am doing. Otherwise i loose the ball.

[@ThePinballCompany]

What was your favorite part of the premium?

[@videoluvr4204]

have y'all experience ball-spin issues on the Briefcase plexiglass near the right outlane? it causes to ball to unnaturally spin into the outlane

[@ThePinballCompany]

Yep I have. Didn't have it on my first gameplay. But I've put about 10 more games on Wick so far and have noticed this happening.

[@peteshirey9816]

Hey Travis! Great video!

[@ThePinballCompany]

Thanks!

[@richie2116]

Still think jaws is a better game play

[@mosquitos777]

Yeah for sure

[@videoluvr4204]

definitely

[@vitkomusic6624]

Jaws is good.

[@TwirlingFern]

I played both, pro and premium. Jaws looks better, shoots better, is more interesting, better art, more engaging theme, more interesting shots. I didn’t enjoy John wick in the 12 games I played. Jaws was amazing though. So awesome to hit the shark fin, and hit the shark toy.

[@richie2116]

Need more movie themes no more super hero’s

[@ThePinballCompany]

What themes would you like to see in the future?

[@richie2116]

Back to the future, goonies there is a lot better classics that can be pins over the super hero’s and music
