Stern Pinball has entered into a partnership with Whizbang Pinball to build and distribute the Whoa Nellie! Big Juicy Melons pinball in the spring of 2015.
The colourful, easy-to-learn game features a classically-styled playfield tuned for a balance of randomness and skilled shooting challenges that rewards players of all skill levels.
“We wanted to create a game that everyone can enjoy, so we started with a more accessible layout from a classic era of pinball,” said Dennis Nordman, co-founder of Whizbang Pinball and pinball industry design veteran. “This is the first new electro-mechanical style game in over 35 years.”
It has real bells, mechanical score reels, a solid state control system and a digital soundtrack. This unique blend of classic and modern technologies creates a new breed of pinball machine that presents pinball as an art form while maintaining the reliability and serviceability of modern commercial pinball machines.
