Stern Pinball has revealed its new Uncanny X-Men Pinball game featuring iconic Marvel characters, including Wolverine, Professor X and more.
Created in collaboration with Marvel Comics, players will step into the lives of their favourite X-Men. To save the world from a future ruled by Sentinels, they must first change the past.
The Uncanny X-Men pinball games are available in Pro, Premium and Limited Edition (LE) models.
The adventure takes players to familiar X-Men locations including the Danger Room, Beast’s Lab, the X-Mansion and Genosha. Along the way, players will interact with fabled X-Men devices like Cerebro and the X-Jet.
The layout features an array of new crossing shots and ramp designs with surprising ball trajectories to deliver kinetic satisfaction. The new Danger Room design, located to the left of the main flippers, offers a high-risk, high-reward experience that includes a mini-flipper and a novel outlane spinner. Premium and Limited Edition models also include an all-new elevated captive ball vari-target themed as Beast’s Lab.
The Uncanny X-Men pinball game features a mechanically articulated Sentinel for the player to battle. The Sentinel’s large robotic head changes its state based on the player’s actions. In the Premium and Limited Edition models, the Sentinel rises from underneath the playfield and fights back by destroying the player’s ramps or attacking the ball with its extended hands.
“X-Men is a time-honoured franchise that Marvel and Stern fans love. It’s the superhero franchise that I grew up with. We’re excited for fans to experience the fun of The Uncanny X-Men pinball,” said Seth Davis, president and CEO of Stern Pinball.
The Uncanny X-Men’s game experience is illustrated in comic book style art by artist Jeremy Packer, aka Zombie Yeti and each game also features a custom X-Men soundtrack.
