Summary

2024 pinball review: strong Metallica remaster, mixed game quality, JJP reliability concerns, operator vs. collector divide.

Pinball Party Podcast hosts Jason, Cale Hernandez (Electric Bat Arcade), and Zach from South Dakota conduct a 2024 pinball year-in-review discussion. They assess 2024 as a mixed year for game releases, highlight Metallica (LE) as the standout success, critique Jersey Jack's pricing and reliability issues, and discuss game quality across Stern, Spooky, American Pinball, and Elwin. Location operator perspectives diverge from home collector priorities, with strong performers including Jaws, Ninja Eclipse, and concerns about Haggis Pinball manufacturing troubles.
