New products coming in 2013

[Bob Zager]

Well, this is my first posting this new year, and with the old topic on GS related merch now \"archived,\" (understandbly, so!), I thought I\'d start a new one!

 

A new FIFTH edition of Family Feud from Endless Games:

Note:  When you go to the Target link, you\'ll see the item listed/pictured.  If you click for more detail, you\'ll see the 3RD Edition box pictured, but then click the image to \"Zoom\" in, & you\'ll see the Fifth Edition box art.

You can request your original thread to be \"de-archived\".

Hope this helps :-)

I\'ll just post it here since I have yet to post to the dearchive thread...

Wheel of Fortune for iOS/Android just got a decent upgrade with the addition of turn based multiplayer, and whaddya know...it\'s reached the top 10 on Apple\'s App Store. Still a great deal for $3. Hopefully Jeopardy gets the same treatment soon.

Canadian iTunes store now has a \"Press Your Luck\" slot machine, along the same lines as the TPIR slot machine.

For those pinball fanatics who are waiting for more new tables to play on the Pinball Arcade app (per Pinball Arcade\'s February Newsletter):

             
      
            

Latest Playstation News

            

We are celebrating!!!


            Twilight Zone was released on PlayStation3 and Vita on February 5 in both North America and Europe.

            We have sent out the Kickstarter Redemption codes to the North American PSN accounts, and are waiting on Sony Europe to get us the European codes so we can send them out.


            Table Pack 7 (including Scared Stiff and Big Shot) was released worldwide on PlayStation3 and Vita February 12th.


            Medieval Madness Pro and Tales of the Arabian Nights Pro are scheduled for Febrary 19th.


            We have now submited Star Trek:TNG as well as the January table pack to Sony. We anticipate this test cycle to be quicker now that the holiday rush is over.

         
      
            
                        
                  
      
            

                        

Latest Nintendo News


                        The 3DS version will be called Pinball Hall of Fame. This version will contain all of the non-emulated tables from both the Gottlieb and Williams collection. More information will be made available as it gets closer to release.


                        The Wii-U version is almost ready for submission to Nintendo as well. This is the final step we need to take to get onto the eShop and into your hands on the Wii-U.

                     
                  
      
            
                        
                  
      

            

Latest XBox News


            We promised our longsuffering Xbox 360 customers an update this week, so here it is.


            As most of you know, the Xbox 360 is the only platform that requires us to have a publisher instead of dealing directly with Microsoft. Our publisher Fillpoint (aka Crave Entertainment) filed bankruptcy last year, and that has wreaked havoc on our plans for releasing new tables on the Xbox 360.


            We’ve been asked many times “Why don’t you just find a new publisher?” It’s not that simple, unfortunately- our contract with Fillpoint is now an asset of a bankrupt company, so we need both the consent of the creditors and the approval of the court to move the game to another publisher. The good news is that we are VERY CLOSE to getting court approval on a transfer. We wish it was happening faster (and we’re more frustrated than you- we lose money every day the new tables aren’t available on 360). But it will happen!

         
      

 

For those with smartphones, Dr. Dude and Firepower are the latest adds.

Canadian iTunes store now has a \"Press Your Luck\" slot machine, along the same lines as the TPIR slot machine.  

The Price is Right slot is, if possible to imagine, even more tight fisted than the Facebook version. The only way to get a Big Wheel Bonus is by placing about 100 Max Bets on a machine (they don\'t carry over from machine to machine), and even when you hit the bonus, you\'re still risking your own coins- it\'s not a Free Spin situation. The pricing game payouts are less, and the Contestants Row Bonus has rounds where you can win nothing. The only thing it does better than the FB game is that it\'s seemingly easier to get a 5 of a kind line. I\'d imagine if the Price slots on iOS are any indication, PYL will be the same way.

 

Skip it- if you don\'t like the FB version, there\'s nothing to like on this version.
