I put this in another thread too, but for those interested here's the newsletter.

Here’s a recent review of that ToyShock mini virtual pin. Doesn’t seem too impressive. Not sure if it’s the same vid as linked to above. Didn’t want to sit through it twice to find out. Lol

More info now things are starting to open up again in China.

V1.2 should be out in August with proper 60fps.

International distribution for 1.2 is also discussed.

V2.0 should be out by Christmas at around US$500

Anywhere between "12 to 20 games" so alphas and DMDs would be my guess.

I thought I heard "12 to 24", which would essentially just be the entire Gottlieb collection. Makes sense, if you are making a video backbox then there's no reason you can't just put the alpha scoring on that. That will also streamline manufacturing so that the only thing they are having to change is the vinyl skins.

I love how he says "a software problem was identified" regarding the high scores saving. Didn't make mention of wi-fi this time though, which I believe was mentioned during CES.

So if this is now holiday bound for 2.0, I wonder if 1UP's Star Wars cab is also delayed till then, as it was supposed to come out in August initially too.

[MENTION=134]shutyertrap[/MENTION] you can almost put money down that A 1UP will be a "by Christmas 2020" offering. Shift everything back about two months and you've got your new timelines.

At the other end of the scale (both in price and numbers made) is :

series of videos on youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHIoiaTixTNV9Ntk2SsHRIw/videos

Some absolutely fantastic looking machines on there, seems to have started making a Harry Potter one, so far its just the lockdown bar and plunger.

Maybe you could even interview him for a podcast?

12 to 20 games really seems like a big range. 12 games as existing kind of makes you scratch your head and wonder why even bother. 20 games, maybe it makes sense. But with so many being Goetlieb Premier, almost impossible to pull the trigger.

I'm in the minority I guess, but outside of Bone Busters, I like those particular Gottlieb tables -- except for City of Gold! Why in God's name did they pick that over the original El Dorado? At any rate, I can't justify the expense for 12 tables I already have in virtual form. As yespage said, if there were 20 to start with more coming, it would be a bit more tempting at that price.

FarSight only made 24 Gottlieb recreations. So either ToyShock puts the remaining 12 on version 2.0, or I think they put all 24 on there. ToyShock is not going to want to keep manufacturing v1.2 once 2.0 comes out, and the software costs nothing to include.

Totally agree. Looks great on the box as 24 games in one.

I thought it was 22 (not 24) tables. In TPA there are 2x 6 table packs, and 2x 5 table packs.

Hmmm, I might have thrown the 2 Alvin Gs in there

Ah, I forgot about those.

Saw this on Pinside and probably worth discussing here. Looks like there another virtual pinball machine coming out from AtGames. Reveled in this video:

The breakdown of the included tables:

38 Pinball Arcade tables (Gotlieb)
61 Williams tables from Farsight
108 Zaccaria tables

207 tables total. Has a price tag of $599

Crawley · Oct 23, 2020

Now it looks like this has some controversy - particularly using the Pinball Arcade tables given that Farsight is using those for the Toy Shock machines. And sure enough someone posted a Tweet from Mel Kirk responding to this machine.

So will see how this goes.

If this came out like 3-4 years ago I would have likely been itching to get it. Looks like an affordable virtual pin playing all the games I want to play. But now can't even think of spending this kind of money on Pinball Arcade tables.

Official Website is now showing all 3 pinball cabinets. Marvel, Star Wars, and Attack from Mars.

The Star Wars and Williams cabinets are photoshop renders and may still change before they become available for pre-order. At least it is nice to see that Arcade1Up has made it past some of the backroom hurdles to at least post these on the website.

vfpcoder · Oct 23, 2020

Man ... Sure would like to know what tables are included with the "Attack From Mars" cab!

Do we know if there will be a usb port/wifi options for adding/updating tables or will there only be a limited number on the cab?

Wifi for high scores/tournaments, and tables limited to what comes with the unit.
