Not overly excited about this one but I'm not a music game fan - even though I do have MetRE at the moment. My Weird Al game doesn't count as a music game, a bit like Foo Fighters. Those 2 are a pinball game with 1 band's music playing, not all about just the music.

At first glance I thought, "Well that artwork is definitely a choice" but after viewing the trailer it does look much better than I thought. The heart sculpt/mech is pretty interesting.

I'm curious what prompted this title? Was there demand for Bon Jovi?

The thing I can't wrap my head around is having two bon jovis on the backglass next to each other. It's kind of weird, and I'm guessing it was probably Bon jovi's choice, not the artist's choice...

...Meh...

It will be interesting to see how well it sells (or most likely not).

Lots of people were surprised that Rush got their own machine as per their niche fans, but Bon Jovi is in the same category IMHO. However, I have to admit that BoF make interesting games.

I think that we are starting to run out of music bands/themes. I suspect an Ozzy pin will be made by Stern, but after that, who do we get? Shania Twain? BTS? Rammstein? Willie Nelson????

One thing I did notice in the gameplay reveal is that it seems to be the same 3-4 shots over and over...ughhhh.

Last but not least, We've been saying for years that the market is saturated and yet again, in the past 3 months-ish, 4 new titles have shown up! (Transformers, Sonic, Bon Jovi, P3)

It is not a question of "if", but a question of "when" the market will crash...

That's 5 new titles, not 4. Multimorphic is releasing 2 different games at the same time.

There is a rumour that JJP will be doing Van Halen which makes a hell of a lot more sense than Bon Jovi.

I like the layout on the Bon Jovi, but the artwork is terrible. And the $12K USD price tag seals the deal.

I'll enjoy playing in on location if I see it, but cann't see owning it.

4 layouts...hence why I said 4. NOBODY will buy both P3 titles...

Here's a thought: The next music pin should be...

ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME!!!

You can add the best of the best, numerous genres, use the different museum sections for modes, etc.

They already have pins there (when I went in 2024, they had AC/DC, Foo Fighters and Aerosmith (will also add that they all needed repairs)

BTW, when I went there the special exhibition was...Bon Jovi...

Once people get over the hair-band theme they are realizing that this looks like a killer machine

I've said for a while that Stern needs another jukebox machine with a variety soundtrack. Guardians of the Galaxy had the right idea, but that was following the movie soundtrack.

I am unenthusiastic about almost all music pin themes but I enjoy them all nonetheless.
Bon Jovi apparently contacted Barrels Of Fun and MUCH RESPECT for that. If I was a rockstar you best believe I'd be poking pinball companies for a custom game. LIVING THAT DREAM, JOHN!

The gameplay on this looks amazing and I am ready to trust that company to take any theme and make magic with it.
BJ music is kitschy fun like ACDC. Just enjoy the ride!
