It’s the last Flipside before Pinball Expo, and there is a LOT to talk about.
I’m sharing my first impressions of Bon Jovi, Fallout, and Tales of the Arabian Nights Remake, including what surprised me, what disappointed me, and which game I can’t stop playing.
We also get into Dutch Pinball’s Back to the Future announcement, the $3,000 deposit, production concerns, pricing unknowns…and whether I actually gave in to the FOMO and put money down.
Plus, a look ahead at Pinball Expo 2026, Circus Voltaire, the growing homebrew scene, possible surprises, and why this might be one of the most interesting Expos yet.
There is officially too much pinball right now. 😂
Let’s get into it.
