Looks like a typical Elwin, tons of shots and lots of combos, some shots you would t expect where they go. Animation leans more towards the unlicensed kind of how they did JP. Lots coded already from what it seems.


I think this pin is an absolute win. Shots are amazing and has some flow. Im excited for this one.

Game looks very fun, amazing flow .. I'm definitely more excited after watching the stream.

My opinion won't be popular, but I don't understand the appeal of this title. The flow seems excellent, as always for Keith, but as for the animations, the decals, the sounds, the lack of movie assets... it's nothing exceptional. Remove Keith Elwin's name and it would be impossible for Stern to compete against Dune and HP.

That being said, I'll definitely give it a try one day.

I think it's what you are into. For me I'm really glad its animated and doesn't have movie clips in it.. I also really love the music in it. I also find it hard to compare it with HP when not a soul has seen it. Lowkey I'm very excited for HP though, but I have to stick up for Kong because some people actually prefer this style. like me. I also like the art work and how they let the data east game trickle into it.

I think the animation has a long way to go. Compared to Foo Fighters, seems pretty crappy so far. Does have some cool shots and four flippers are great. Premium seems like the best option and I do love the art better on this version.

Played King Kong a fair bit on the weekend. It flows pretty well. The toys on the Premium are definitely worth the extra $$ in this case too, they're very cool. The Pro definitely feels like it's missing a lot of stuff in the upper right.

The complaints about the colour scheme in the artwork are overblown I think as well. In person, the purple that people are complaining about isn't all that noticeable, nor was I looking at the cabinet while I was playing - I was playing pinball! If one is looking at the cabinet or backglass while playing, your scores aren't going to be very good.

Looks good Mike!
I was thinking mirror blades for my KK Premium but i do like those Art Blades.
Wizmods speaker panel and coin door mod for sure.

Eddie carries mirror blades, if you need a set let him know as he usually comes by to visit my office so could drop off your order. I'm overdue for a visit to your club house there ;)


I know I will be replacing all rubbers on my Kong Premium with his translucent rubbers. Where you ordered your Kong Premium from?

Played King Kong LE today at Pinfest. I really liked it, definitely a fantastic shooter. Videos don't do game play justice, it's super fun.

Big thanks to Nick Angel for bringing it to the show!
