Stern Pinball Releases Marvel The Uncanny X-Men Pinball Games

Stern Pinball has announced its new line of pinball games, The Uncanny X-Men. The game features Marvel characters, including Wolverine, Professor X and many more. Created in collaboration with Marvel Comics, players will step into the lives of their favorite X-Men. To save the world from a future ruled by Sentinels, they must first change the past. The Uncanny X-Men pinball games are available in Pro, Premium and Limited Edition (LE) models.

Stern’s new The Uncanny X-Men pinball games feature Wolverine, Professor X, Cyclops, Storm, Colossus, Beast, Rogue, Gambit, Nightcrawler, Jean Grey, Bishop, Kitty Pryde and Magneto, along with a supporting cast of allies and foes. The adventure takes players to familiar X-Men locations, including the Danger Room, Beast’s Lab, the X-Mansion and Genosha. Along the way, players will interact with fabled X-Men devices like Cerebro and the X-Jet.

The Uncanny X-Men playfield’s layout features an array of new crossing shots and ramp designs with surprising ball trajectories to deliver kinetic satisfaction. The new Danger Room design, located to the left of the main flippers, offers a high-risk, high-reward experience that includes a mini-flipper and a novel outlane spinner. Premium and Limited Edition models also include a new elevated captive ball vari-target themed as Beast’s Lab.

The Uncanny X-Men pinball game features a mechanically articulated Sentinel for the player to battle. The Sentinel’s large robotic head changes its state based on the player’s actions. In the Premium and Limited Edition models, the Sentinel rises from underneath the playfield and fights back by destroying the player’s ramps or attacking the ball with its extended hands.

“X-Men is a time-honored franchise that Marvel and Stern fans love,” says Seth Davis, president, chief executive officer, Stern Pinball. “It’s the superhero franchise that I grew up with. We’re excited for fans to experience the fun of The Uncanny X-Men pinball.”

The Uncanny X-Men’s game experience is illustrated in comic book-style art by renowned artist, Jeremy Packer, aka Zombie Yeti. Each game also features a custom X-Men soundtrack with diverse musical styles designed to immerse the player into the game’s various time periods. The soundtrack was composed by Charlie Benante of Anthrax and Pantera fame. The game’s video presentation makes the classic “Days of Future Past” story come to life in animated motion graphics style.

The Uncanny X-Men pinball games are available through authorized Stern Pinball distributors and dealers worldwide.
