Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean Pinball Machines Coming Soon
If you’ve got a spare $8500 hanging around, Jersey Jack Pinball, announced at the 33rd Annual Pinball Expo, their newest machine, Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean, which will offer a fast, challenging and feature-packed game that captures memorable scenes and elements from all five motion pictures in the series.
“We are so excited to welcome Pirates into the Jersey Jack family,” said Jack Guarnieri, Jersey Jack Pinball founder and industry veteran. “This machine embodies our vision to deliver beautiful and thoughtful games to our fans, with a theme that will entertain pinball enthusiasts and newcomers alike of all ages and backgrounds.”
Players can choose to play as one of 22 movie characters, fire their pinball-loaded cannon from the rocking Black Pearl on the upper playfield and enjoy features such as an interactive concentric map with 216 usable combinations for gamers to experience. This game will also feature Jersey Jack’s proprietary audio system with a five stereo, surround sound system, along with custom voice narration by actor Kevin McNally (character and first mate, Joshamee Gibbs).
The game is being released in limited runs as a Collector’s Edition and Limited Edition, along with a Standard Edition. All games are wide-bodied, will feature hand-drawn playfield art, a 27-inch HD LCD display, a 4.3 inch apron LCD display and premium LED lighting, as well as 27 targets, 5 flippers, 2 magnets, and custom animation and movie clips. It is now available for pre-order online, with distribution beginning first quarter of 2018.
It’s cool that they are still making actual Pinball machines. Gotta admit I’m hoping these get bumped over to Pinball FX 3, though 😀
