Now at Meeplemart!

John Wick (LE)

Created in collaboration with Lionsgate, players will experience the thrilling and action-packed billion-dollar grossing John Wick franchise with film-inspired mechanical features and artwork alongside Stern’s all-new dynamic AI combat system.
In Stern’s John Wick pinball games, players step into the role of the world’s greatest assassin as he fights to escape his past. As the titular character, players can engage in high-speed car chases and fast-action drifting across the playfield, which incorporates models and artwork inspired by iconic locations from the franchise, including the New York Continental Hotel and the Red Circle Club, all set against a dramatically edge lit New York City skyline. Players can also open John Wick’s weapons crate to reveal a hidden shot target path to retrieve an array of weapons. Players must use the sculpted Blood Oath Marker carefully – or risk the consequences. Players need to survive other assassins, complete jobs for the legendary Factions of the High Table, and eventually take on John Wick’s “Special Assignment!”
To raise the stakes, John Wick pinball introduces Stern’s all-new dynamic AI combat system, an innovation that brings the frenetic combat of the legendary films to the game. The Stern team has created a primitive video game AI system to control the enemy lights on the playfield, setting the John Wick pinball games apart from prior pinball machines, where all lights were controlled by player actions, timers, and random number generations. In this new AI combat system, enemy icons are responsive to player behavior and will illuminate dynamically around the playfield to challenge the player. The enemies move tactically with this dynamic software to counter player objectives, creating a unique challenge in each game session. The system also features a new action video player that dynamically reflects player action – as you defeat three enemies, you’ll see video clips of John Wick doing the same in the films!

I finally had a chance to play TCM yesterday. It seems like every Spooky game gets smoother and smoother in terms of playfield design. Scooby was a huge step in this direction. TCM (imo) feels quite a bit like a Williams game. It is currently 2 of my staff members all time favourite pin, so if you have not had a chance to play one, I definitely recommend giving it a try.

I also installed the Aliens topper yesterday, which took FOREVERRRRRRRRR, applied 5 software updates to Alien and Corey from London Pinball was there and made everything* work perfectly again.

Unfortunately, now we do not have enough coin mechs, so 3 machines had to be left off.

*Rick and Morty is down with either a voltage or possible hard drive issue and the left ramp shot on Legends Of Valhalla is not registering, (we are waiting on a part).

Keep in mind Looney Tunes has the same layout as TCM - albeit with completely different rulesets/modes/etc.

Went in to get warhammer stuff ended up just playing pinball for an hour and a half. This location is sick, ripped a bunch of games I've been dying to try.
Glad you enjoyed it!
...And just a heads up; we will be doing tons of GW restocks in the next 1-2 months. ;)

stopped by yesterday to try out TCM, and wow! they really nailed it on every level.

loved the overall aesthetic, and agree that it feels "williams-y".

alien is pretty cool too (*love the weapon selections) but i think one of the flippers on the left side was not working.

so happy that insider connect works now!

This is the first I have heard regarding a bad flipper. Was it totally dead? Which left flipper was it?

it was the middle left flipper, it just didn't seem to want to move at all/maybe felt stuck a bit.
OK- I will have one of the staff check it out this afternoon. If you come across anything like that going forward, please inform the staff. We keep a log of issues so we can get everything fixed. :)
