How is the sound upgraded on SM VE?  It's the same audio track as the original but with different call outs?
The dots on the VE look great, I can't stand ultimate sm art, so the art on the ve is a huge fail imo. There are so many better versions of spidey than ultimate, such a shame.
Maybe this was all Marvel allowed them to use?
Buy a 2nd hand Original SM for between 5-7k and buy another game with the savings.

would be the true stereo + bass woofer. I know you don't like the band, but the KISS songs sound like they are coming straight out of a Hi Fi system. It makes a massive difference.

SM VE is Sam not Spike.

Damn. All VE's should be on the Spike system.

I assumed the VE would be Spike games - considering that KISS and GoT are the only Spike games, I'd suggest you give these two titles time and keep in mind Ghostbusters already looks like a winner.

Once my KISS LE has the code update, you can pop by my place for a game if needed. I heard the update is simply massive for this title (looking forward to it !).
TWD LE is in the showroom if you want some time with that game - I just need to update the code to the the latest. But I think the Pro is better in this case ( I hate the crossbow).

I know GoT is not selling huge numbers, but I liked the presentation of the game from Day 1, and I think this will be a good game IF they can get the bugs sorted out.

I'd be waiting for GhostBusters before making a final decision.

If this decision is the worst thing I have to face this year it'll be a great year. Yes difficult as the choices are many and quite decent games in their own right.

Spider-Man VE. Original a Spider I wouldn't touch but this new version will climb in price & will be a awesome looker & fun x 100.

Otherwise, it would be The a Walking a Dead Pro first with red cabinet & translite. Pro plays faster & red suits blood & gore of zombies. The Prem colour loses visual gore first impressions.
If you can buy both and finance half on each you will never look back.

Awesome art on both and both play very fast.

Walking Dead will require Pinball browser to make it a true representation of the show and the game it truly deserves to be. As it is out of the box it is just a crappy generic zombie game and nothing more.
Regardless, grab a LE or Prem of any game as the pros are the most over-priced and are just a stripped back version of what the game should be.

If the call outs were from original actors instead of the redneck, then it would be truly awesome. Current season of TWD is a snorefest.

I have heard some custom pinbrowser TWD and it is a huge improvement.
Yep this season is lame, the show has jumped the shark for mine.

That's why they have the new VE Spiderman with a price point at the new overpriced Premium pricing. Everyone knows the originals were one of the last full featured regular production models before the Pro cutbacks made an appearance.

Pro models have the worst bang for buck ratio of the lot, but because they are universally known as the cutback model it forces the potential buyer to "upsell" to a Premium if they wish to get what is expected from a pinball experience.
