TL;DR

Stern reveals Godzilla pinball with Insider Connected digital ecosystem launching this fall.

Summary

Dead Flip hosts an official reveal stream of Stern Pinball's Godzilla machine, featuring Keith Elwin (lead designer), Rick Nagel (head coder), and Tanya Kleiss demonstrating Insider Connected—Stern's new digital ecosystem for player tracking, achievements, and scores. The stream showcases four-player gameplay, detailed mechanical features (collapsing building, destructible bridge), and reveals that Insider Connected will ship on all new Spike 2 LCD games starting with Godzilla, with retrofit kits launching in October.

Key Claims

  • Insider Connected website will go live when Godzilla machines reach customers' hands, allowing free account creation without owning a machine

    high confidence · Tanya Kleiss explicitly stated: 'The website's live right now. You can't create an account, though, until Godzillas are in people's hands, which is going to be real soon.'

  • Insider Connected will be available on all Spike 2 LCD games in Stern's catalog, with support added to existing games by end of 2024

    high confidence · Tanya: 'This is going to be available on all Spike 2 LCD games. The whole catalog...We're working hard to add support to all those games by the end of this year.'

  • Connectivity kits will be sold starting in October for retrofit to existing games, with pricing to be announced then

    high confidence · Tanya: 'We also have connectivity kits that we're going to start selling in October, and those are going to be available for all the games. The pricing will be announced in October.'

  • The Godzilla building is 'probably one of the tallest mechanisms in pinball' and consists of stacked, moving floors with ball diversion logic

    high confidence · Keith: 'This is our building, Nick. It's probably one of the tallest mechanisms in pinball. It's humongous.' Details provided on floor mechanics and ball routing.

  • The bridge mechanic in Godzilla has dynamic audio and visual states—stable bridge wobbles, unstable bridge 'freaks out'—programmed by Rick Nagel

    high confidence · Keith: 'Rick programmed it so when the bridge is real stable, it just kind of wobbles. And the more unstable the bridge gets, the more it freaks out.'

  • Insider Connected roadmap extends through end of 2024 and all of 2025, with features beyond player identity, scores, and achievements coming at Pinball Expo

    high confidence · Tanya: 'We're working on a roadmap that goes through the end of this year and all through next year, so lots of features...We'll have new stuff to show off' at Pinball Expo via George Gomez talk.

    Now we are just incoming. Oh, hey, excellent ball, dude. Whoa. Getting crapped on here, isn't it? Let me switch this over real quick.
    34:15
    I had to turn on the air conditioner. Two million! Oh my god, I'm trashed. I'm actually trashed. I'm trying.
    34:31
    I'm actually trashed. I did that on purpose. I just watched. I told you, Internet. Woo! Refresh what?
    35:15
    No, not me, not me. Woop! No you... Well, listen, I doubled my score. Well there you go, Internet, I told you. Jampin'. I promise to go hard on my next ball or my next game
    36:00
    I'm running a broadcast here and I come back I'm taking it easy on him, isn't it? For your cooperation, we have stationed monsters near your major city.
    36:49
    Choose and perish, earthlings. Ever up. Shoot the scope. Ever up. All right. Godzilla versus Ever Up.
    37:04
    Our electronic computers will monitor your cooperation. Oh, I didn't get the E. I didn't get the both of them.
    37:35
    Oh. I didn't, I need one for hitting the start button. Alright, go put your name in, champ. It already knows, because guess what, Internet, we're logged in with our Insider Connected account.
    38:01
    Okay, so, Tanya, do you want to talk a little bit about this? So let me set you up really quick, hold on. All right, Internet, I'm going to move a microphone up here so that Tanya can tell you a little bit about Insider Connected, and then we'll get back to more pinball. So, Tanya, here's a microphone. All right, hello, microphone. And then you can hold your phone in front of that camera. Like that? Yeah. That's a good line.
    38:25
    There's some cool glare. Let me move that. I better not show my QR code. People are going to steal it. This is the Stern Radio Network signing off. All right. That was the CERN network signing off. Now we're here live on the Internet. All right. So let's see here. Hold on. Grab this right here. Grab your notes. Let me zoom out a little bit too for you. Okay. So, yeah, this is awesome. I'm really excited because this is the first time we're showing insider-connected CERN pinball machine. Yeah. It's pretty cool. You can't steal his QR code, by the way, because he can refresh it. it's not permanent, so if you go feeling this, it doesn't really mean anything. So this is my login QR code for my I'm connected, I'm on insider.sternpinball.com I'm logged in and brought up my QR code here and I go to the machine and I can scan it in.
    39:24
    It scanned me in. So that's what we were doing at the beginning to, it's basically, you create an account on the website and then you can identify yourself pinball machine, any pinball machine that's insider connected.
    39:36
    So, and then let's see what, so after playing the game, you can see I did not that well. I got 9,123,000 points. Let's see, did I get any achievements? Yes. Bridge attack. Alright, so I got bridge attack. It updates live too, right? Yeah, so yeah, at the end of every ball, it'll submit your achievements and your scores and at the end of the game it finalizes the session and post your score.
    40:05
    So here's all the achievements for Godzilla. Where's the one I got? It's right there. Oh, there it is, Bridge Attack. So there's two of the big connectivity features we're launching with, which is submitting scores, identity.
    40:24
    We've got achievements. We also have connections, which is kind of cool. I can go see, not that, let's see, so I'm going to go to connections and I think this is going really great. So let me check out this guy, KME, right here.
    40:47
    So here's a little bio on Keith. We've got the stats. So, so far his player XP is 55. We got that today from Achievements.
    41:00
    And he got a couple more than I did, because he's really good at the game. So let's see. And then the other – first off, I'm sorry. Yeah, I want to show you a software download, too. If I can just open this up here. Yep. All right, so check this out. They can see your notes, so I don't know if you have any sensitive information on there. No. All right, cool. Just making sure. This is my, you can see my handwriting there. So here we go. This is kind of cool. I mean, this is, to me, this is like one of the most exciting features other than all the other exciting stuff is like this right here. So there you go. That's it. Software update. up to date, 075.6, and you can download automatically. Can you turn that microphone towards your face a little bit? There you go. Yes, I can. You can download updates automatically. You can have it install automatically, or you can turn off no automatic download. It's cool stuff.
    42:07
    So, yeah, so, sorry, I'm flustered. This is too exciting for me. It is exciting. Yeah. So, let's see. The website's live right now. You can't create an account, though, until Godzillas are in people's hands, which is going to be real soon.
    42:28
    And when you're opening your box, the site will go live. You can create a free account. It's free. You don't have to own a machine. Anybody can log in with your e-mail address. Mine's green, so it's obviously going to green screen. but yeah, this is pretty, it's pretty rad. So it's cool, yeah. So it captures your scores, gets achievements. You can look at connections. You can choose to make your profile public or private. If you make it public, then other people can look at your achievements and your scores.
    43:02
    So that's what we're launching with. And then very soon, like, we're still working hard bringing, I mean, this is just the beginning.
    43:10
    Like, once we have this, being able to identify yourself at the pinball machine, It opens up a world of awesome stuff, and we're going to be excited to bring it all to you. We're going to show another set of features coming at Expo, and George Gomez will be there giving a talk, and he'll be giving you a lot more details on the roadmap. We'll have new stuff to show off. You'll be able to do it yourself. There'll be machines there. There'll be a whole bunch of machines connected, ready to play. So we're working on a roadmap that goes through the end of this year and all through next year, so lots of features. We started out with the player features since we figured people, you know, the players, you know, that's where you start. And then we'll have more operator features coming and more player features.
    43:56
    And it's an exciting time. And it's also a dating app, right? No, it's not a dating app. Whatever you do with the app is up to you.
    44:04
    Let's see. So, okay, I'm looking at my notes here that you guys saw. Let's see. So this is going to be available on all Spike 2 LCD games. The whole catalog. Yeah, Aerosmith and Batman, Elvira, all that stuff. We're working hard to add support to all those games by the end of this year. Okay.
    44:28
    Once you go on the site, you'll see that some games are coming soon and some are ready to go. And they'll all be done by the end of the year. We're shipping for – so this is going to ship in every single Stern Spike 2 game that we're building starting now. Pro-premium MLE. Oh, wow. And even if we go back and build – when we go back and build Deadpool, it's going to come with the connectivity built in. We need to build – okay, let's not talk about – yeah, we got it. As we build – I mean, this is obviously the best game. So any runs of existing games, we're putting the kit in there. We also have connectivity kits that we're going to start selling in October, and those are going to be available for all the games. We're going to roll them out as the games are ready to go on the website, then we roll out the kits. The pricing will be announced in October when the kits are available real soon. Thank you. So I'm excited to show all the stuff to everybody.

I'm actually going to switch to direct audio so that you get the cleanest version of this game's audio directly into your ear balls, okay? Does that sound all right? Okay, so just hold tight for one second while I do this. Here's a fun little intermission, okay? I'm just going to put it on sounds direct already. Really? Oh, I mean, it sounded good to me, too.

    What is this? Oh, you know what? Tanya, I'm stealing your spot. I love you. After everything John has just said to us?
    49:09
    Let's get it. But I want Blue Oyster Cult to be louder and cleaner. I put mine on Japanese internet, don't worry.
    49:28
    Let's use the soup. Place the earth under absolute control and be governed as our colony. Panagos Titanosaurus.
    49:45
    Godzilla versus Titanosaurus. Yes, the light on the QR reader does stay on all the time, if I'm not mistaken. Yes, the answer is yes.
    50:03
    Just want to give a shout out to my moderator. Please do better this time, Jack. I will. Yes, dead jaguar does show up on the screen.
    50:26
    You can scan first, you can scan during. If I'm not mistaken. Also, what's cool is, and something that we didn't really show, but if player one scans in, and then they don't actually want to be first player, you can move your slot to where you want to be, if you want to be player two, three, or four.
    51:26
    Planetary domination. All right, who's player two? Oh, yeah, you're right. You can actually see the names on screen.
    51:43
    Keith, is there lock stealing in this now that you have it on top? Is there lock stealing since you've locked balls on top of the building? Got it.
    51:56
    There is no lock stealing ladies and gentlemen. And I have this for free. Alright, Wastin is up. Jack will be quick at zero scale thinking about it.
    52:41
    Wait a minute, you mean Jack's co-worker on a project? Our talk at Expo is going to be a hair braiding seminar. That's why I'm growing my hair out. I think Jack's in the match right there. Yeah, I'm working on it.
    53:03
    Okay, so we're getting closer. Godzilla is headed towards the bridge. Yes it is, it's full. I think I'm sucking a lot of the power out of the room with my, uh... With all my fancy lights.
    53:49
    All right, Internet, let's actually do some good here. It's on Japanese. Faded breath. Right in for this. Oh, that was close.
    54:26
    Look how that crosses over. Stay alive, baby. Yay, I got the easy one! Is it really only one hit? Oh my god, I'm trapped. I'm actually trapped in the lock. Okay, what do we want to shoot for here? Let's go for this. Nope, that's not what I wanted. There we go. I just want some blue lights to flash. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Magnograph.
    55:34
    What's Deathsaving Japanese? Oh. I need that tattooed on my body. Bad luck, Jack. Hey, it happens. Is it Deathsaving? There's no way.
    55:55
    Oh, wait. Did you just make me say something terrible? Oh. Come on. He's making his way to another city.
    56:10
    Good last stream. Thank you, Bunhead. Get canceled. That's a yellow card? Hubby's already scouring for the... Oh, there you go.
    56:55
    First kill, that's awesome. That's great to hear. Don't worry, we'll be right back. Got some of those heat rays, good.
    57:25
    For fear of DMCA problems with licensed material, we are recording this to put up the YouTube later. All 1, lock.
    58:05
    All 2, lock. You have no idea. Like, holy moly. You know, Motho, I'm not certain I can ask you to use his heat ray.
    59:29
    Yeah, totally. The tower does have a spell detector, so it will remove your fingers from your hand. Harrison had a demonstrate for it Oh Harrison did it with fingers That a Well that all for sure
    60:05
    Stick your fingers in here. Wait, what? What? Not Cam, we have just been playing. Nothing to talk about, just sit back and enjoy the gameplay.
    60:36
    Well, you put the game back in place. No, you're fine. You actually fixed it. I think Keith moved it and then everyone just kept playing.
    60:54
    Oh, baby. The building moved! I have to switch the camera really quick. I'm sorry. Sorry. Thanks, Harrison.
    61:49
    That was not the sound I wanted. Heat ray building. Heat ray. Let's go! Doubters. My butt. Sorry. I didn't mean to say that during our reveal stream. Yep. Sorry. Yep, sorry, internet, sorry, I accidentally turned off my monitor, hold on.
    62:32
    Pinch the monitor a little bit. Like wiggle the cables or something. There you go, we're back. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
    63:05
    Can I hold it now? No? Okay. I think... Yeah, I think it's too late. Booty! Sorry. The lift! Are you... ho! The pop bumper! Whoa! I just caught Gary in the problem.
    63:46
    Watch your mouth. Sorry, Internet. I'm dead flip out for language. My apologies, Internet. Yeah, you can. Not everyone has to be logged in.
    64:11
    Oh, Keith is blurry. That's awesome. I'm censoring Keith. Internet, I'm doing a little better this time around.
    64:41
    That was the one ball clip. I took his ball. That's hilarious. 170? Yo, again, shout out to Shroud for sharing this with his audience. I do appreciate it, buddy. welcome to the rest of your life pinball is all consuming what the actual actually yeah man
    66:31
    Yeah, Rick did Mechagodzilla earlier. I got one shot of... All right, Waston, let's see what you got, buddy. Unleash the Mechagodzilla.
    67:45
    Yes, Pinball is exactly like Fortnite, except for it's completely different. No, no, no, get out! Alright, y'all. Let's try to get some Mecha-Godzilla action going.
    68:45
    Oh, that works. Okay, cool. It's a little key. Okay. Achievement! Okay, I'm celebrating. Quick. I'm a new pop pooper.
    69:30
    Did that pop hate my gut? Was that all true? Yeah. I used the heat raise a second. I got an achievement for that.
    69:45
    Total loot. Stray. Cool. Chief, did you want to show any stuff or do anything? I just want to show you something. Okay. So, I'm going to zoom this out a little bit. Let me hit this button.
    70:15
    All right, so let me zoom out a little bit, and I'll just let you show this bad boy off. I'll back up a little bit. Woo! That's good.
    70:35
    All right. This is our building, Nick. It's probably one of the tallest mechanisms in pinball. It's humongous. So we're going to take the top part off. Alright, so the top part comes off. So we have our roof, where it actually locks the balls. Excellent. We have our top floor, you can see the diversion. Here, let me show you this so you can just better line it up yourself. Just look at the screen right here. Okay, here's floors three and four. So you can see how they divert the ball when the building's in different positions. That's awesome. And then forward one and two, same thing.
    71:18
    One diverts it left to the loop, another diverts it back straight to the buck. That's wild. And it's all stacked up and moving as one cohesive piece. That's all Harrison Drake. Yo, get it. Of Drake Industries. Of Drake Industries, of course. That's why we named it Drake Investments. You can see on the front there, yeah, that is. That's Harrison.
    71:41
    Heck yeah. Did you want to pull that bridge over? I think Harrison was excited about showing the bridge. Fine. Just showing the bridge. All right. Look at this bridge, Internet. Look at it. It has a reverse radar at home. Would you look at it? Look at that bridge breaking. I don't have the entire mic. I just have the top part. Yeah. Pew, pew, pew. So Rick programmed it so when the bridge is real stable, it just kind of wobbles. And the more unstable the bridge gets, the more it freaks out.
    72:13
    I guess we should actually get bridge attached. Actually show it. But, yeah. Cool. It's the bridge. All right. Well, let's just get back into more gameplay, Internet. That was fun. But enough nerd stuff. I need to actually show something besides the building. Yeah, please.
    72:37
    Hold up. If you guys want to see it, it's super good. Yeah. I will sit this one out. Don't let me down Chuck. I'm so excited. Here we go. Is this your first time zipping into the thing? That's me. You're a fireball. Alright. All right.
    73:08
    All right, Internet, I am sitting this one out. While we're jamming on this, folks, I just want to say thank you again for tuning in. A big shout-out to Elwin and his team for making another awesome frickin' pinball machine. and I hope you like what you see.
    73:38
    Those things are closing in on Godzilla. This bridge is really taking a pounding. People have been clearing the area with the imminent attack.
    74:01
    Oh yeah, three spinners. No big deal. Also, a quick shout out to everyone subbing and supporting the channel. Thank you so frickin much. Very kind of you Setting these screens up is a massive pain in the butt

    75:01
    Alright, I'll just leave the bridge. I'll leave the bridge up. Enjoy the shot of the bridge. Keith, you know, looking at this building, like if you blur your eyes a little bit, it sort of looks like a PBR jam.
    75:17
    Love it, love it. Wait, no. Lampu Ute, light up the battle! Molly, you're the... ...wild one. Internet, thank you so much for the support.
    75:53

    80:44
    Godzilla is headed towards the bridge. Stern sells pinball machines worldwide, ladies and gentlemen. So if you're in frickin' Kansas. Wow, that's not worldwide. France. There you go.
    81:08
    Kansas, France. Paris, Texas. Heavily medicated in an instrument. I apologize. Right. Yeah, everything you're seeing is factory setting. For the most part, I think Keith made one of the modes extra hard just for Keith's sake. There, bridge attack, he made hard.
    82:41
    Yes, you're currently looking at the premium model of the game. It would appear the military has brought in the big guns against Godzilla. It's a good chance to like Major Cannon's super jackpot.
    83:27
    Godzilla has destroyed a fighter. um gallivanting currently they're one and done but uh daily and monthly stuff like that is on the way this is still being developed come expo they're going to have a lot of information about what they're doing with the The insider program.

    86:47
    We do not have a camera for Mythic Godzilla, but I just felt the bridge is more important if we get to bridge attack Yeah, what if the camera wasn't on our version? Oh jeez Internet Keith is complaining about my GoPro flakeboard What? Time is up
    87:17
    It seems Godzilla has an ally. Mothra joins the battle. We can only speculate as to where Godzilla will strike next.
    87:56
    You will go battle. Pagan. Giant Everard. Godzilla's heat ray is rolling. Did you see that bridge move? Yeah, he did. Godzilla is getting ready to use his key play. Stand back.

    89:56
    Consulate is one step closer to destroying this city Hello, Niko. Thank you. I don't think he's talking though.
    91:24

    91:57
    I'm the ball, I'm the ball boy over here. Right there. That's a hell of a nudge. Internet, uh, what do you think that Kill Bob looks like inside this game? All right, what do I got to do?
    92:19
    Got to make some points. Yeah. Yeah, we'll catch you up. It's no big deal. It's all about the points. All right.
    92:32
    Oh, you can see your achievements? Yeah. Oh, whoa. I didn't know that. Hashtag 할 아 맞니? The down the hill Bob is transparent
    93:14
    Hey, thanks for asking. Yeah, I feel much better. I'm on medication. Yeah, I think you still get the achievement if you got it just right. Oh, you didn't let go? Oh, no. Stop it.
    94:16
    We moved the action button. This is ridiculous. It needs to be closer to your hand. Oh, my God. I only have to... 475. You got this, man. You got this. Just go. Yeah, the light show on this thing is sick.
    94:45
    We're just testing the system internally, so all this stuff's going to be wiped. So don't get all arms set. This is a verified game.
    95:01
    Great job, John. Richie, thank you so much for that. Go on. Wow, I thought it would be easy for anybody.
    95:17
    Jeremy, I'll save it. Zombie Eddie was cheering you on, and you horribly let him down. Yeah, Godzilla doesn't work fairly.
    95:52
    You have been rejecting your calculations. Uh, Joe is not here at the moment. Right, I could take a message if you would like.
    96:09
    Alright, let's watch Keith kick the game across the room. Alright, can I run to the store? Yeah. Can I run? Can I take a meeting with the store?
    96:22

    Jack price lists sorry about that ah Oh my god. Sorry, my bad. Turn it all off. Cool, cool! quiet Titanobora
    99:01
    I can't believe what I'm seeing. Two huge monsters. Yo, DaVinci. Your face is in the boring game in existence. Freaking got him in it. Yeah.
    99:14
    Someone tell him off so he can't respond. Throughout the city are being damaged. Just kidding. No.
    99:56
    Your Jaguar's going to throw up, bro. Now Mothra joins the battle. Godzilla's fights are starting to grow.
    100:27
    It seems Godzilla has an ally. Godzilla's heat ray is building. Fires are breaking out in the building. Hopefully something good can come from all this destruction.
    101:31
    Yeah baby! 20 mil! Let's go! I love that clip. Yeah. It's a heck of a fight. Flying through the air kick! Pew!
    103:20
    Did Godzilla just fist pump? You know it! This is a pretty solid tip, not going to lie. These clips are incredible.
    104:28
    The controller is the monster. What is this? Our electronic computers are in danger. One can only imagine the destruction Godzilla could unleash in another city. New York.
    105:28
    There is massive destruction everywhere. Godzilla snapped those cables like a twig. Super Dream. For those of you watching, this is Keith Elwynn playing, the designer of the game. He looks to have installed his game genie. He hates these trades! Oh, we got a little camera flicker there. Yes, the gentleman that has designed the game is the one playing right now.
    107:38
    He knows all the cheats, he said. You can see the configuration of finger taps he's doing on the side of the cabinet.
    107:58
    With an extra ball, let's get it. Thank you. We're just four hours off. Keep her lover. You will discover that the higher-up is on the scene.
    109:37
    Everyone, evacuate the city. This game is for sale now, ladies and gentlemen. You can go put your money on one of these bad boys.
    110:26
    This costs $300-$400 right? Heh. Close. Uh, you will not be seeing any pro action tonight, no. Nor will he see any other players.
    111:38
    Godzilla and A-Girous versus King Ghidorah and Giger. Very well. Since you will not cooperate, unleash our night-time secret weapon!
    111:53
    Secret weapon. This is the premium model you were looking at. You can see on the right there, that little window that it looks like Godzilla is puking into to the right of the right flipper. That is the scanner for the Insider Connected. Fight or flee!
    112:25
    Fight! Hey, pay it or it's all gone by then. Have we achieved a billion? Yeah, keep with the bridge collapsing mode stuff on extra difficult.
    113:08
    Jeff has gone full corporate, that's me. For me! All 312 million. I see our calculations were in error.
    113:27
    Holy... what the... what? This is a 50 million spinner shot. I'm a DJ D-Prayer. Wooo! Baby! Destruction jackpot ready. Yes, we are Chicago based.
    113:52
    Stern Pinball is in the Chicagoland area in Elk Grove Village, just outside of the city. I dead flip and located in Chicago proper.
    114:05
    That's right. Pin City, thank you, my dude. Very generous of you. Keith Billy and he's leaving it alone.
    114:33
    We've only been live for... Oh. Yeah. Okay. All right. Hey, Keith has left the building. Keith's literally leaving. Keith, no joke, literally just left. He's done.
    114:48
    I don't know if you heard the door slam. He literally just left. All right, I need one billion. It changed. Walk it off.
    115:01
    He's got pinball machines to make sure they're good. Flip or drop. Was he pissed at his low score? Jeez.
    115:31
    Yo, Shroud, my dude. Thank you, buddy. I appreciate you. What is allowed, what is allowed, it is what it is. Wait, is Cherry Warrior here? Aw, man, what's up, Marty? How we doing, are we... We're alive. Cool. Uh, everyone's saying, yay, Tanya.
    116:05
    Hey, what's a cell screen look like? We would need a tilt-bob for that to happen. Jack, you've aged since your last ball. No doubt. I think Keith literally played for half an hour.
    116:28
    It's Mechagodzilla! Oh, he's back. Boop boop. Tintin, tintin, tintin, tintin. People have a Tilly and a Tintin. Tilly and was insane? Yeah. Why did they choose the old Godzilla? Because those spikes are starting to grow. Is this the coolest one? Yeah, probably the coolest of the Godzillas. Right, Matthew Broderick was having trouble. We couldn't get his signature. This bridge is really taking a pounding. Oh, pound that.
    117:09
    Pound sand, bro. Were you player four? Oh, no. Oh, Rick is up. Let's go. Man, everyone's just feeding the frickin' crap out of this game.

    So, again, a big shout-out to the team. What are you thinking, Keith? Yeah. Yeah, okay. All right. Well, there it is.
    118:18
