I recently has an opportunity to sit down (virtually) and have a conversation with Andrea Pedretti about what is going on at the European pinball manufacturer.
Production of the company's latest game, a remake of the 1990 Williams classic pinball machine FunHouse, is going great. Pedretti is shipping two containers full of games per month. It has produced more than 300 machines so far with orders of more than 700 units.
Let me take a break here to say that I absolutely love this sort of transparency from manufacturers. Whenever I share a picture of a classic pinball machine on one of my pages, I always look up its production numbers on IPDB and share it along side. I find this sort of pinball history and insight to be fascinating. Boo to the manufacturers who hide their production numbers lol. Anyhow, I digress...
The Euro Pinball Corp. factory's production capacity has been maxed out, between the FunHouse machines and Pinball Brothers' production of games like ABBA.
New features are in the works for Pedretti's remakes that are "going to be a great add-on for everyone who loves to play pinball in a competitive way."
In addition to shipping FunHouse machines, Pedretti has begun shipping the special pocket watches that are included with the Limited Edition of the game (see below for pictures).
Now here's something particularly exciting, Pedretti confirmed that the Company is planning on releasing another remake of a classic Bally Williams pinball machine in the second half of 2025. I've had discussions with them about potentially running a poll here on the Knapp Arcade website to help decide what remakes consumers want to see next.
Thats pretty cool. I hope its in my LE box?
