Coastal has updated its successful Simpsons Soccer game with the Minions brand.

As in the previous gameplay, the customer tries to kick the ball past the goalkeeper, this time in the form of a Minion, and hit the moving target behind it.

Sales manager Michael Dean said: “Everyone loves Minions, so that was an easy decision. We have also widened the unit so there is more playfield and we made the scoreboard a lot brighter and attractive looking.”

While the machine is obviously malleable in terms of applying different licences to it, the company has no plans to introduce another any time in the near future.

“We ran with The Simpsons version for five years and we only just introduced this so we think it will run for at least five years as well,” he said.

The game will be available for purchase at the end of January.
