Lousy reveal? Sure. But wait till my wife hears there's an ABBA game.

It also did not help that day they decided to do the big reveal was April fools day. People were thinking this announcement was a joke.

At this point i really think PB dont care about the US market,they gonna look more into Europe and basta

You'll always be MY dancing queen Cary 😎

One would think that Pinball Brothers would have learned their lesson after Queen flopped. They should have followed the success of ALIEN with another timeless sci-fi classic such as The Thing.

"The ABBA Pinball Release was CRINGE!" was CRINGE itself. What a paradox.

You put it perfectly.....do they not want to sell this game? Is there some ongoing competition for "worst pinball launch" that we don't know about? Is PB trying to sell less ABBA's than BBQ or GTF?

ABBA Voyage is a residency at the ABBA Arena in London that’s been going since 2022. It’s a digital concert show ( CGI or “Holograms” as the kids say). I believe they are building at least 3 new ABBA Arenas around the world ( one probably in Vegas at the World Resorts ). Maybe they can put these machines there, they also have all the “Mamma Mia!” shows, the “Mamma Mia The Party” restaurants and the ABBA museum. ✌️

I’ve played BBQ, and didn’t know about the ABBA pin until I saw the survey option… chose ABBA 😅

Worst launch ever. -Simpsons Comic Book Guy This is the kind of launch I'd expect to see for Punny Factory 2. Only thing worse than vertical video is grainy, vertical video. With that said, hope to see it this week at Pintastic.

SPACEBALLS THE PINBALL MACHINE! MERCHANDISING MERCHANDISING MERCHANDISING! Starting at $10,000 space bucks...$2995 for the custom schwartz topper. No lie, I'd rather have this than ABBA or Barrys BBQWTFLOL

ABBA most awesome band and most deserving of pinball machine. Should have been out years ago. Rock royalty deserves utmost respect, can someone please lend me twenty grand so I can purchase both. I can pay back 20 bucks a week for 1000 weeks. Really dont give the least bit of a shit about any descending chatter. They are a MUST HAVE, an intsant collectors item 😊

I guess they watched the recorded material they had and thought to themselves that this does not cut it. They will probably make a flashy trailer to release for the masses.

L M A O x 100000000😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅, of all the themes they could pick, they picked.....they picked......ABBA?????? WTF, Why Why WHYyyyyyYYYyY!!!!!!!! Wow just wow.....WTF!!!! NOOOoOOOooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! Damned shame too, because the game actually looks good, but the theme is just weird looking........

Why?

I would love a *Pantera* themed pinball.. I think they've earned it if ABBA did ;)

yeah I had the same reaction, also thanks for your install video on replacing the stern fan with the quiet fan. It helped me get thru the install! appreciate it!

the first I saw of the ABBA pin was a gameplay trailer and the very first song, SOS, was actually a song I knew from DDR! no idea why pb brothers can't figure out trailers, but the pinball news gameplay video makes me look forward to trying the game at a local arcade.

They announced this on their socials on April 1. Half of us that didn’t already know this was coming out thought it was an April fools joke!

I'm to this day excited that my Full Throttle shot itself in the foot and fried itself.....best "moment" the game offered me hands down. The Heighway and PPBr are the Russia made something in the 50ies version of American Pinball's HotWheels

The game looks pretty. Layout looks okay from what we could see. Sadly the person playing the game in the video I saw sucked so most of it was missed shots. The lower flippers looked weak, I don't know that I saw a single ball go up a ramp successfully. Problem? Probably not, they might have had the flippers tuned to prevent the ball from breaking things on the playfield. Who knows.

At least it’s not Spinal Tap….

“The European area “. 🤣

This is the game your favorite wine aunt will like.

We need The Thing! From any company at this point...

You'd think Pinball Brothers would make a Predator or Rambo pinball because of the helicopter mech they showed off, but then it was used on THIS. How and where is a helicopter associated with ABBA or any of their songs? Also, I'm not disappointed that this is their newest game, but I was expecting something bigger and better from them.

Maybe April Fools isn't a national holiday in that European Area like it is here in the American Area?

Just like my Sterns on location...they update at the worst times 😅

Another honest review. No interest in either.

The drop target banks look like poor quality shit. You’d figure they would at least use a little QC for advertising pics

What pins we play in life, echos in Abbternity...

Abba a 80s band that not alot of people are familiar with. Good job ugh

I don't follow pinball super closely. And your video is the first I'm hearing about an Abba pinball game. So that about sums up their launch. 🤣

i love ABBA

Cary si a pinball guy but when I see arcade influencer start making more pinball videos like Stern makes me wonder if there's shady stuff going behind the scene.

Great music 🎶 Terrible launch 🧐

Hey kids! I heard you all love.... ABBA

How could the rights to the most world-famous band since The Beatles let their license go to a couple schlubs? That Benny cat micromanages everything w that name-🧐 I guarantee the dude don’t play pinball.

We all know this 😅 the reveal was shit; don’t just blame them, blame AP, and many other companies. I wont knock it until I play it. So much hate on pinside it’s embarrassing

Awful, dark Alien part 2. No light show, no disco moments, nada. Terrible music pin.

Dude WHAT is going on in the pinball market right now? Between this, BBQ, Punny Factory, and the weird Dutch news, does nobody know how to run a company or make a successful pinball machine anymore? If it wasn't for Barrels of Fun, Spooky redeeming themselves with Looney Toons/TCM, and Princess bride looking decent, I would have zero faith in any company that wasn't called Stern.

U will put effort into this but not jaws?!?! Bro… you need a bigger boat 😝

Abba is better Elton John or Metallica or gnr anyways so dope but you wouldn't know because your too old

How the hell do you go from the Ripley ver of Alien to this? lol

Old guy here (see moniker). I cringingly lived through disco…ABBA appealed more to women than men- by far. But, it made the girls want to dance, so we went with it! If I *had* to buy a disco themed pin, I’d prefer Saturday Night Live. At least the music of The Bee Gees was original, iconic, & catchy. I guess PB may find a niche in the 50+ yr old female buyers of pins with ABBA. As for me, I still kept Cream’s Disraeli Gears, Hendrix, & The Who in my 8 track 67 Mustang!

It is a fan layout. A 3rd flipper doesn't negate that. When you have 8-9 shots spread out in a fan fashion, I don't care if there's a 3rd flipper that hits one spinner under a ramp, it's a fan layout.

the worst theme machine outside of american pinball bbq game

I love ABBA but that art is horrid. What is the deal with the 3D floating stone heads? Queen's are was abysmal and so is this game's.

As much as I love playing pinball it’s over priced bullshit with too many companies with terrible business acumen.

Not only do I not want to play Abba, I want to be far enough away not to hear it. Disco is dead, as well as PB. If you guys want some terrible ideas that can target the same market, hire me: Mama Mia, My big fat greek wedding, Sex in the city Fiddler on the roof Desperate Housewives Kardashians The Bachelor/Bachelorette Golden Girls Charmed Sister-Sister

I grew up in the ABBA era. They were unmemorable and uninspiring. I would have answered neither in your pinball survey. I would not buy or play Texas BBQ or ABBA. The back glass on the ABBA machine makes me want to barf!

There is no doubt that these secondary pinball co’s are putting out some shit IP’s. ABBA? wtf.

Neither was MY answer! yes i voted that! i voted that way because Neither machine would i ever buy! the footage is ok, alot of shots in the center and top of the playfield, reminds me of Led Zepplin!

Makes GTF launch look like a dream. Plus the AI art is horrible. I love ABBA and so does my family. What a disappointment. Should have priced this at $7500.

At this point just give Stern all the licenses....

themes abba huge in Europe uk and Australia so 1000 made easy split of 700 euro 100 Australia and 100 us Imagine if American Pinball did a deal with the lower version of game but charged an 100 1k to bbq bars have there own signature back glass and the ability to advertise on Lcd. at 6k or k they would be able to sell 1000 across us even if the game shot like shit

I’m not interested in buying this and I don’t like ABBA but will be fun to see more gameplay and eventually in-person. Can’t deny the cringe-factor 😂 The playfield definitely looks a bit too much like Alien too

Don’t you besmirch Rush! It’s an absolutely fabulous pin, and one of the greatest rock bands ever! That being said, I understand you love them or you don’t, luckily I LOVE THEM!!!!!
