Top 5 Pinball of 2025

Josh Roop and Scott Larson discuss their top pinball games of 2025, focusing on two major recent releases: Stern's Walking Dead Remastered (designed by John Borg) and Spooky's Beetlejuice. They defend both games against community criticism: Walking Dead's art package (dictated by licensor approval) and gameplay depth for competitive play, and Beetlejuice's limited 999-unit production run (a deliberate strategy to maintain secondary market value and quality control). The hosts contextualize design decisions within manufacturing constraints and licensing realities.
