After the recent flurry of new game announcements, Jonathan from Pinball Magazine and Martin from Pinball News begin this month’s Pinball Industry News PINcast with two re-releases of existing titles.

Stern Pinball have gone back to revisit their Jaws and Star Wars games. In the case of Jaws it’s a blood-red treatment for a new 50th Anniversary Edition of the Premium model, while their Star Wars Home Edition gets a ‘Plus’ upgrade and a price cut as it goes on sale in selected Costco stores in the US.

As last month, the third new game announcement is for Multimorphic’s P3 pinball platform. Row Mania, from Neil Wilson, uses the Drained playfield module in an EM-inspired mini game which is available to download right now.

Also working on their next title was game designer, Jack Danger. However, he’s stepped back from that project to become Stern’s new Head of Community, in which role he will create multi-platform promotional material, act as Stern’s brand ambassador and return to game streaming both for Stern and under his own Dead Flip channel brand.

After the success of their Evil Dead title, Spooky Pinball are now looking to hire a new software developer. There’s also production updates and news of when we might expect their next game to be announced.

Another pinball manufacturer working on a new title is Hexa Pinball in France. They’ve got their team back together to build the first prototype of the follow-up to Space Hunt.

Barrels of Fun are planning a rerun of their own. This time though it’s a repeat of the factory tour they held at the Houston Arcade Expo last year. Visitors to this year’s show get the opportunity to take the tour and see how they build the Dune game.

The topper for Dutch Pinball Exclusive’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was already pretty impressive, but now game owners can enhance it further with a new topper expansion kit from The Electric Playground.

Meanwhile, there’s news about the ‘other’ Alice in Wonderland game, this time from Wonderland Amusements who have been showing off their new production-quality moulded playfield components. They have big plans for Pinball Expo in October and even hope to be shipping games by then.

It’s not often we get a series of new game launches in the summer months, but in this month’s Pinball Industry News PINcast, Jonathan from Pinball Magazine and Martin from Pinball News cover three more new releases in June.

Two weeks ago, they brought you a special bonus PINcast interview with Daniel Janson of Pinball Brothers, but now it’s time to look back on the launch and the subsequent new details and gameplay videos for Predator pinball.

The second new game came out-of-the-blue, as Pedretti revealed their Ligabue Pinball Game. Themed around the very popular Italian rock band Ligabue and aimed at the Italian market, the machine has all-new artwork but a familiar playfield design.

The third new game hasn’t actually been released yet, but the details known so far certainly sound intriguing. Steelbound is the latest title from For Amusement Only Games for the P3 pinball platform. With a large cast of characters and scenarios, this role-playing adventure sees our protagonist facing multiple challenges while exploring dungeons and piloting a giant robot.

Last month also saw the launch of Jersey Jack Pinball’s Harry Potter, since when it’s been an Interesting time for the company. After visiting the UK for the game’s premiere there, company founder Jack Guarnieri joins Jonathan and Martin from the JJP factory to talk about the game’s reception, what’s on the line now and what’s coming up, how the three models have been received, what’s in store for the topper, and much more.

Meanwhile, Stern Pinball also have topper news as they release a lower-cost Expression Lighting topper which ties into the game’s lighting and looks ripe for third-party companies to provide their own imagery. There’s also news of birthdays for Gary Stern and George Gomez, how to win a Dungeons & Dragons game, and a plethora of new code releases.There’s much more industry news, including Dutch Pinball Exclusive’s tie-up with The Art of Pinball, American Pinball’s latest special offer pricing, Spooky Pinball’s game giveaway, and production updates from multiple companies.
