Deadpool Pro Edition

Designed by our EVP Product Development George Gomez and based on the fantastic comic book art that first appeared in Marvel’s 1991 “The New Mutants” #98. Deadpool is the “Merc with a Mouth”.  He is an irreverent, disfigured and deeply disturbed mercenary and assassin who has superhuman physical prowess and accelerated healing. Pinball players battle Deadpool’s iconic Marvel foes, team up with Deadpool’s X-Men buddies, go on Time Travel Quests, and revel in Deadpool’s irreverent attitude.

We chose to use comic book art rather than images from the 2 “R” rated (grown up audiences only) 2015 and 2018 movies, each grossing near $1 billion.  Deadpool will appear in many more Marvel movies, remaining in the public eye. As great as the movie images are, the comic book style art jumps out. Now famous pinball artist Zombie Yeti made this game bright,  colorful and absolutely stunning.

LCD display art matches with original animation, not lifted movie scenes.  It has the look and feel of 1980’s video fighting games.  No, there is no video play mode; the LCD animation is activated by hitting targets and reflects playfield action.  Barcades have introduced a large millennial population to 80’s video, and pinball, not just in America but more and more throughout the world.  See the attached pictures of LCD display fight scenes, with weapons that players can collect on left and Deadpool’s Marvel character friends across the bottom.

Deadpool pinball machines will be available in Pro, Premium, and Limited Edition models. “Deadpool” is known as the “Merc with a Mouth” because of his talkative nature & is notorious for his outrageously funny offbeat humor which is featured throughout the game.
Players will be immersed in the Deadpool universe, teaming up with iconic X-Men characters Wolverine, Dazzler, Domino, and Colossus as they battle against infamous villains Juggernaut, Sabretooth, Mystique, Sauron, and Mr. Sinister. Players will also tag along with Deadpool on his time machine quests as he battles against the T-Rex and the Megalodon.
