Over the past several weeks I have been writing about how Turner Pinball was going to bring its first prototype pinball machine to this weekend's Texas Pinball Festival. The game, titled "Ninja Eclipse" was indeed there and on the floor for the public to play. Yesterday, Saturday March 25th at noon, Chis Turner conducted a seminar about the game. He stated that Turner Pinball hopes to have Ninja Eclipse in full production before the end of 2023. The Company plans to sell 100 units of the game. I have embedded several pictures that Jason Young took for us of Ninja Eclipse and the Turner Pinball booth at TPF below. There's no word on game pricing or features yet.
