A little over an hour ago, Dutch Pinball Exclusive shared the first ever video of its upcoming pinball machine Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland on its Facebook page. I can’t seem to get the video to embed in this article, so I have included a link to it below.
The short clip shows player-controlled spinning disks that are on the playfield near the outlanes, which is a really cool idea.

Yesterday afternoon, the In Before the Lock podcast shared the debut of the teaser trailer for a brand new homebrew pinball machine from Mudflaps Pinball, creator of the amazing Friday the 13th homebrew pinball machine. Calling Friday the 13th a homebrew doesn’t do it justice. The machine was fantastic. It was a production-quality game with amazing art and callouts from some of the actual actors from the movies.
Mudflaps Pinball’s next project is a game based on the 1986 John Carpenter classic film Big Trouble in Little China.
We’ve had no shortage of news from Stern Pinball lately. First late last week they showed off the cool new JAWS: the Revenge Challenge Mode. Then yesterday I reported about the Company’s new relationship with Costco and the Jurassic Park Home Edition Plus machine. Now today they are going to provide is with the new JAWS “The Shark is Broken” topper mode.
This afternoon at 4:00 PM Central time on Stern Pinball’s Twitch and YouTube channels the game’s design team will give us a sneak peek at the upcoming mode.
It’s cool that we’ll get to see that today, but what it likely means is that we aren’t going to get a teaser or a peek at Stern’s upcoming cornerstone game, which is rumored to be based upon Marvel’s X-Men. I have heard from strong sources that the new game is already on the production line at Stern and that there is a number of them New In Box ready to go. Will we get a brief teaser for the game late this week and the launch during the first week of September? It has to be coming fairly soon.
One thing I will say is that Stern is the King of content. There’s rarely a shortage of things to say about them. They make the hobby interesting.
