The WiFi is genius... the kids here play things like " call of Duty" with another dweeb in USA, UK etc.. doesnt matter, its whos connected at the time.
To be able to have a tournament at any time with anyone else that is in front of a pinball is master stroke, although a darker theme would suit this much better... but we all know that already.
CPU in the cabinet.. love it, no more large bundles of cables extending from the cabinet to the head. Main beauty i can see with this is that the head can come off to move the machine around. I cant stand the fold down head on DMD's.. makes the games very cumbersome to move around and also super heavy. ( i have 5 steps to move a machine up and down... DMD's are just not practical).
Why didnt Stern do anything like this? Well.. when you have no competition and punters are happy that ANY pinball is being made... why would you? R&D costs money... Stern dont like R&D.
Competition is a wonderful thing and weak theme or not, rattling Sterns cage can only benefit all of us
