Profile

Princess Bride is a Multimorphic P3 modular pinball game themed around the classic Princess Bride film, designed to appeal to a broad audience including families with children. Released around early 2025, it features strong visual design with notable topper visibility and received positive reception at TPF 2024, though players noted recurring P3 button configuration limitations. The game was available in standard and collector's edition variants (with swords), with the collector edition experiencing shipping delays as of March 2025.
