"Dangerous mutants have been detected in the area!"
It's time to team up with the world's most famous mutants and save the world in STERN Pinball's release of The Uncanny X-Men. This pinball machine pits players against the tyranical Sentinels, who are wreaking havoc in the present. Players will fight alongside the entire X-Men cast of allies and foes including Wolverine, Beast, Professor X, Storm, Magneto and others to save the planet by influencing the past to prevent the takeover before it starts...
The Uncanny X-Men stands alone with an unbelievable playfield layout, featuring geometry, features and theming that have never been seen in modern pinball before.The game is directly based off of two acclaimed X-Men comics - "Days of Future Past" and "Mind out of Time", where the future is depicted as a Sentinel-ruled dystopia where Mutants are hunted and eradicated, and the few remaining X-Men must try to change the past to prevent this bleak future. A Sentinel's head stands guard on this colourful comic of a playfield, reacting to how you play, dynamically changing with events in the game. The conventional 2-flipper layout is completely shaken up in this game, allowing for the never-before-seen "Danger Room" in the bottom left of the playfield. This mini-playfield area will take practice to master, allowing you for high-risk-high-reward shooting.
The LE model of the game builds on these features even further. The Sentinel's head can dip into the playfield, revealing himself throughout the game. The Sentinel's 2 hands even directly influence the game's ramp shots, by stopping your ball in its tracks, then sending it back up the ramp with its powerful fingers. The other hand can even crush the right ramp in an incredible display of physical animation. You'll also spot the Beast's Lab Elevated Captive Ball and Varitarget, and even fully 3D model of Wolverine on the playfield.
Look forward to the following features to explore in the game:
- Fully Animated Sentinel Head - The Sentinel is a fully animated foe that can duck its head into the playfield and emerge to do battle with the player. The Sentinel's head features glowing eyes and even a chin that can be knocked loose to reveal a hidden kicker target.
- Animated 3D Sentinel Hands and Ramp Features - The Sentinel truly comes to life with 2 animated hands that interact with the game's ramps - One capable of stopping and redirecting balls with its finger and the other destroying the game's right ramp in its hands in a stunning animated kinetic display.
- Beast Lab Elivated Captive Ball and Varitarget - Beast's lab is elevated high off the playfield, giving players a completely new way to interact. Smash the target beneath to send the ball into the lab to collect different rewards.
- Danger Room Playfield Area - Completely new to modern pinball, the Danger Room area is a mini playfield within a playfield, accessed via a special ramp that will send balls under the flippers to access. Shoot for big high-risk rewards using the game's mini 3rd flipper.
- Cerebro Ball Lock - A brand new type of lock system, this ball lock can hold balls hovering above the playfield to begin time-travel modes.
- Magneto Playfield Magnet - Watch Magneto's power capture and interact with your ball with a hidden playfield magnet.
- Downtown Turnaround Ramp - Watch shots travel in ways you've never seen before as balls whip around and backwards to feet otherwise-impossible ramp shots.
- Diverting Highway Ramp - Send the ball up the highway, where it may be diverted to either the left or right flipper.
- 2 Pop Bumpers
- 3 flippers
- Full playfield and cabinet graphics package.
- Insider Connected Technology

About Stern Pinball:
Stern Pinball, Inc. (“SPI”) designs and manufactures arcade-quality pinball games. It is the only maker of arcade-quality pinball games in the world and is located just outside Chicago, Illinois.
The company traces its lineage to Philadelphia in the 1930’s when Sam Stern got into the business of operating pinball games. These new games were all the rage in bars and restaurants, and game operators were making a very good living. Sam became so successful as an operator that he soon became a game distributor as well.
In 1947, Sam visited Williams Manufacturing Company in Chicago where, according to pinball industry folklore, he brazenly put his feet up on Harry Williams’ desk and asked, “Why don’t you sell me your company?” Because of Sam’s success as an operator and distributor, it took Harry only three hours to decide to sell half of the company to Sam.
Sam moved to Chicago and became President of Williams. Through the ‘50’s and ‘60’s, he and Harry worked tirelessly to build Williams into one of the leaders in the burgeoning pinball industry.
Sam passed his passion for pinball on to his son, Gary, who as a child played in empty game boxes on the factory floor at Williams. Gary was only 16 years old in the 1960’s when he started working for his father in the stock room at Williams.
The late ‘70’s and early ‘80s saw the emergence of coin-operated video games. As the coin-op market evolved, other companies acquired many of the existing pinball companies. In 1986, after the death of his father, Gary founded Data East Pinball, which was purchased by Sega in 1994 and became Sega Pinball. In 1999, Gary bought the business back from Sega and renamed it Stern Pinball, Inc. Less than a month later, Williams announced plans to cease pinball production in order to focus on the slot machine business.
Through the first decade of the new millennium, SPI has continued to carry the pinball banner and promote the game throughout the world. The company has released many popular games, including Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones, Shrek, Batman, Spiderman, the Simpsons Pinball Party and many more. Its games continue to be enjoyed by both pinball enthusiasts and casual players around the world.
Warranty:
Home Use:
This pinball machine comes with a 2 year parts warranty. All parts that are faulty will be replaced. Furthermore, the first 30 days after delivery will be covered by a full on-site service where if any issues arise, we will either visit on-site or return it to our workshop to remedy.
For the remainder of the 2 years, we can often solve any problems over the phone and supply any necessary components for the customer to fit. If necessary our specialist repairer can visit your home to inspect and repair your machine on-site, but this would be chargeable. Please call us for a call-out quotation. If parts are required which are not carried at the time these will need to be ordered for you, and will sometimes need to be imported from the States - therefore, there can be a wait for the part to arrive.
After our 2 year warranty has expired we will continue to offer you complete support for any problems you have, either over the phone or by email, and can provide a chargeable engineer call out should it be required. Whatever happens, we will be able to look after you and your pinball machine.
Pinball machines are complicated items, which don't like being moved about, nor do they like the cold or humidity. Therefore, if you chose to move the pinball machine from where we originally installed it, or it is stored in a cold or damp location, our warranty will become null and void. We won't be able to supply any parts for your machine free of charge if it has been accidentally damaged or you have tampered with it in any way.
Commercial Use
Where a new pinball machine is not being used in a home, but is instead being placed in a commercial location such as a bar, pub, cafe, restaurant, bowling alley, trampoline park, youth club, office, factory, or similar, we will offer a 30 day on-site service warranty should any problems occur which are not a result of any misuse or malicious damage. This warranty will cover parts and labour.

New pinball machines are subject to a number of factors including production and shipping times. As a result of pinball's explosion in popularity in recent years, lead times have increased on many titles and may see very limited production and availability depending on market demand.
