The Uncanny X-Men!
The Uncanny X-Men pinball game from Stern Pinball features Wolverine, Professor X, Cyclops, Storm, Colossus, Beast, Rogue, Gambit, Nightcrawler, Jean Grey, Bishop, Kitty Pryde, and Magneto, along with a supporting cast of allies and foes. The adventure takes players to familiar X-Men locations, including the Danger Room (the Jack Danger Room?), Beast’s Lab, the X-Mansion, and Genosha. Players will also interact with fabled X-Men devices like Cerebro and the X-Jet.
The Uncanny X-Men pinball machine is set in the The Days of Future Past storyline in Marvel’s Earth-811 timeline. This is why they are making exactly 811 Limited Edition (LE) machines. The LE model includes the new speaker lighting system with X-Men-themed game effects, a “Danger Room” inspired mirrored backglass, reflective foil “Future vs. Past” high-definition cabinet decals with artwork by Zombie Yeti, exclusive “Sentinel Armor” powder-coated pinball armor, custom designer-autographed bottom arch, upgraded audio system, anti-reflection pinball playfield glass, shaker motor, a sequentially numbered plaque, a signed Certificate of Authenticity, and a digital Insider Connected LE owner’s badge on registration.
The playfield looks very unique. The Danger Room is set to the side of the main flippers. To get the ball over there, it looks like the ball crosses behind the flippers. I do not know of a game like that. This will feel fresh right out of the gate. I look forward to playing it as soon as it starts shipping.
