I appreciate how much effort you put into this and how you don't pull punches. I'd love to see more in-depth reviews like this from you. Even if it's older games.
I have this pinball machine in my living room. The highest I've ever gotten was 28 million on Michelangelo. I just got over 11 million this evening on Leonardo. I'm no Pinball Wizard, I just love playing it.
I recently played TMNT for the first time, and it was way better than I thought it would be. It's infinitely better than Stranger Things. So many fun, satisfying shots.
Perhaps your most professional, polished video yet, Cary. Well done.
Just thought I’d throw it out there. On Pinside there’s a thread under the TMNT machine, titled “The 1987 Code” you can flash a new image to an SD card, it replaces all the animations with scenes from the original animated series, and custom music, I.E. new boss music... All the overlays are still factory. Daveyvandy and Delt31 did an awesome job with it, and if you don’t like it you can just swap out the original SD and it’s back to factory (power off before you swap!) but I think that would knock out really the only few negatives you had about the machine.
I have been using that code for a bit now. I plan to do a video about it with my mods.
Cary, I love that you stay true to your feelings on the game. So many other reviews are just sucking up to stern that they are afraid to tell the truth. It is transparent when others do it and refreshing you don't. Keep it up!
Awesome review Cary!! Love the.editing! These videos keep getting better and better!
Do you have a video that goes over the differences between PRO, PREMIUM or LE versions...and why you chose the PRO version?
I have a video that goes over the versions, yes. I went with the pro: 1. Cost 2. The extra features don't really add enough for the amount of money you will spend. The pro hasn't had as many problems as the LE's have.
Cary I appreciate how honest you are in your videos... I am finally, FINALLY, able to buy my first pin ever. Was set on TMNT ever since it was announced, went to my local dealer this weekend debating TMNT, JP, and DP. Tried all three, left stuck between DP and TMNT... Deadpool really wowed me with the sound and video package and the TMNT difficulty seemed a bit high, but that theme is better for me. I don't know I'm just stuck and can't decide... Anyways thanks again for the great review, hopefully can make up my mind soon.
What did you end up getting I still can't afford one but want this turtle one
I'd vote Deadpool but haven't spent enough time with TMNT!!
Thanks for the great review! Just got my Pro yesterday and LOVE it! However, already had the ball lock issues you described with the post pulsing too fast and needing to manually remove the balls. I messaged Stern and my distributor. Did Stern reply to you on this about a possible fix? New code update yesterday but doesn't look to be addressed. Thanks for all that you do!
I have switched to the Titan pinballs (original polished) and that issue hasn't happened since. I plan to go over that in a future video. The issue is with the balls stern uses. They are HIGHLY magnetic.
@@CaryHardy thank you sir! Also thank you for your honest, passionate and approachable content!
Great review, and thanks for the backhand tip on the training! Beautiful machine.
Cool video, good job giving an overview that a pinhead would enjoy - nice details about gameplay, code, sounds etc.
Sent you a picture of mine yesterday, bought it because of this review, excited to set it up today
Lol love Cary’s face on April
Killer reveiw. I'm a fairly new subscriber and I like that your honest about everything you talk about... just a normal guy playing pinball with honest opinions.. i think you've talked me into this pin.
You really know how to review machines bro. You’re critiques are absolutely spot on. Got a premium for $7200 a few days ago. I’m wondering if there’s a newer code to fix the ball lock up there. Same thing happened to mine tonight.
Love the backhand into the lower ball lock !!!!!! Great video Cary !!!!!!!!!!
Please, do more of this reviews. Are very useful for future buyers.
Thanks.
Excellent review and appreciated the tip to backhand the Lair shot. Also agree the krang shot is super satisfying!
Years later and all I hear is hate for this game. Mainly due to the rules and more aptly the scoring. But there are complaints about the shots as well. I haven't played one that I recall. Maybe at TPF, so I'm curious to know your current take on this title.
I play it at local arcade. I don't miss it because I can play it there now. Plus, the games I replaced it with are better.
Nice job Cary. Love the production values on this one. I can tell that you put a lot of effort into it. Good work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cary does the steel etched X in the ramp not chip the balls over time?
I haven't heard any complaints about it yet. This isn't the first game to have etched images in a steel ramp.
Great Review, Cary!
Thank you, sir!
LW3 'ok, ok, ok' is one of the best parts about the game; fight me on it.
If you only could buy two games, IMO, if you own TMNT and Ghostbusters, you have #1 and #2 in the next ten years. Not sure which one is number 1 yet.....
We got 2 machines in here. GB Pro & TMNT Pro. Really the best "bang for the buck" out there. We tried them all (IMDN, JP, DP...), and even got IMDN for a few months. But those 2 really stand out.
Nice review! Keep doing these if you can. Love pinball machine reviews.
Great job on the review. Explained your views well, look forward to more reviews from you in the future.
wow man, love your review and how you made this video. great work!
Great point about animations compared to BKSoR...very shortly after getting the game, I too started skipping them. Game is def a winner and really fun to shoot!
Great review! I'll have to wait a little longer for my pro. But your review makes me even more excited then i was before. :)
Glad I could help!
You seem to have forgotten Borg's biggest FU game - XMEN! Oh, you're having a good game? Well HAVE SOME MAGNET! Oh, the Wolverine magnet didnt get you? well then heres some MAGNETO MAGNET! FUCK YOU!
The upper flipper reminds me of XMEN as well.
Has any of the problems been updated since then. Like the balls getting stuck?sounds like a pain. One year later?? Tia.
Get Titan Pinballs to replace the standard Stern pinballs - then you should be good.
Proly the best machine I've played. TmnT sold me on a machine.....
I'm thinking about buying this game NIB after a few months do you still believe it's a good machine to buy?
If you like a challenge then its right up your alley.
Great video! I’d appreciate any advice on my first pinball to buy. My two favorite genres are Stern TMNT and Halloween. I’m leaning towards HWN but just hesitant because I’m afraid HWN might not have as much to offer, as far as modes and multiplayer. Just was worried I’d get sick of the same old gameplay.. Again, an awesome machine visually though. And because I recently converted 1 of my rooms into a small home arcade, with 2 Nascar sitdowns, Superchexx, BBH reloaded, and a multi arcade, I definitely want a pinball. Just been saving up.
Thanks again for giving me any of your time and advice, as it is a huge price and I respect your opinion from watching your videos.
You will get more out of TMNT. Unless you are a huge fan of the Halloween theme - I personally would choose TMNT over Halloween.
@@CaryHardy Thank you
I’ve owned the game for about a month now playing a hour or two everyday. And everything you said is spot on. Even down to the locked balls being literally locked. Mostly the animation is what bothers me, I always skip it, and April looks like someone at the company let their kid animate her. That aside I like the game. Great review.
Glad you are enjoying it. Switch out your Stern balls with Titan Pinballs - it will greatly reduce your locked magnetized balls.
Awesome review... what would you recommend "Pro vs Premium"
Pro all day for reliability. Premium doesn't change the way the game plays enough. The diverter on the premium has been known to be prevalent to problems.
Haha, that FF7 battle music.
Curious now that this video is 2 years old, what’s been changed?
Still like the game, but a great swap deal came up for a Jurassic Park. I like Jurassic Park more - so I swapped.
So happy you gotta new stern! CONGRATULATIONS Cary! Toning in? You mean Tuning in correct? Must be a texan thing....LOL
LOL, I've had the same thought often about that weird sound and you pinpointed it... it's the Windows 98 boot-up sound :-)
See, I told you that LAIR is backhand-able.
What are you guys talking about? th-cam.com/video/tajDxBaPBBM/w-d-xo.html
@@vipervs12 okay, now TH-cam 'windows Tada". The Tada has changed over the different version of windows, but is most similar to windows 98.
The next stern sound will be the wpc failed test report credit dot ding dingding ding ding
Carey, nice job on the review! Very entertaining and the street fighter moves/scenes were hilarious and awesome. 😆
Love the honesty and constructive criticism. Keep up the great work and keep the content coming.

sorry i missed the premiere,but thanks for the content ! My high onthis game so far is like 36 million and playing it on location..not lucky enough to own one yet..Whats yours?
I love this game!! Played the LE, and think it's a really fun, and gorgeous game!!
stack 2 flipper rubbers with a pinball in the center to block the out lanes. Game play increases by 50% , and multiball is EPIC
Can you explain further?
Take flipper rubber, wedge it in the exit lanes, game is 1,000,000 x more fun!!!
Another great episode 👏!
ive been playing this game a while now and shit htere are so many quick orbits to do with perfect timing its nuts! This game also drains so fast its wild but that edge you play with is fun.
Hell this game also is fast as hell, you do a double center orbit and the speed shoots it off into the glass alot. Ive never had a games balls hit the glass so much, but the speed is always holy shit its fast woooooo.
Yah if the Graphic art took the path that deadpool did with more of a comic book art it would have been great. Sort of like the new TMNT shredders revenge game
I haven't played it yet unfortunately.. How's the difficulty compared to JP? JP is hard as balls IMO and this looks like it might be the same toughness.
JP is a different type of hard. Both are tough though. That left outlane....
@@CaryHardy can that outlane be adjusted, it or is it always 100% Hellscape lol?. kinda noticed that in the streams. Debating on this game really hard.
@@Siggy_Sour I really enjoy it. The left outlane is scary and you gotta get good at nudging.
@@CaryHardy Sounds like a GotG situation. Borg signature I guess.
Dude, this was fantastic. I hope you can bring us more reviews in the future. I know you're not Zach Meny and getting a new pin every week, but maybe you can review location machines or find pinheads in your area? I don't know, but hopefully you can figure something out.
Good review, I agree with most of the things you said.
Thanks for watching!
Lmao at the end! Nice
Great review... Loved the "knocking yourself out" edits. That last one was a good jump scare!
Nice machine
Is this one still in your line up?
Yes. For now...
@@CaryHardy Question Cary... if you can only pick one... ST Pro vs. TMNT Pro? I have a straight up trade and I'm trying to decide... Tks!
@@randallkipker9990 Starship Troopers or Stranger Things? lol. Either way I would pick TMNT. I haven't played STh with the new code, but my initial experience is infamous.
@@CaryHardy Thanks... really helped me I was on the fence... Stranger Things is what I meant Cary.
Hi Cary, do you still have turtles?
nope. traded for Jurassic park.
Stern realized if the code is complete, than he can eliminate the USB port and save .50 cents a game!!!!
How do you miss the Sewer idea? or another Subway similar to Ghostbusters? Nothing more satisfying than Looping Supers!!!
WHERE'S THE VIDEO?
30 MINUTES BROTHER!! OOOO YEAAAAA!!
Finally played Tmnt tonight. Spent some time on a friend’s LE, I really enjoyed it and want one now
I’ll pick up a used pro for $4500-5000 soon, I’m in no rush since my location is still closed
Nicely done. Throw them arms up!!! FU€! Turtles looks cool. Let’s see a Totan review....let’s make a trade for it ;)...
I’m curious what you think about the voices.
I go over that in the video.
You sure do! Lol. I jumped to Sound and Music and missed the Call Outs section. Sorry about that. I’m the voice of April and Kala.
@@jewelraquel That's awesome! No complaints from me on your voice work!
You need to get more new games cause I like the review videos
Great video.
I love Stranger Things pin
haha great video dude, beating yourself up made it.
Amen. I thought that left outlane hated just me.
One month update. Fuck that left outlane.
I didn’t realize you have totan lol 😂
The wifes favorite
Would you buy monster bash.
for the right price
Pro or premium??
The beginning of the video I specify it's a pro...
Not gonna lie, I love Stranger Things, probably more than TMNT
I’m not even sure what you were reviewing...I was staring at the Arabian Nights. I’ve got a mint Cirqus Volitaire coming in...oh....good review on whatever machine that was. 7 out of 7 sword jewels.
12:55 Bahahahahahaha...... So effing funny!
To many damn commercials. I'm out
Holy crap, you weren't kidding! TH-cam creates their own when the video launches. I have deleted them. I'm not a fan of ads either.
Cary Hardy how about even better, let’s put TVs in elevators so that before the elevator can move you have to watch some ads.
turtles sucks unfortunately... I wanted to like this game... lots of better pins out there
