hi noah... just a quick question.
does this controller fits into a standard bally table (theatre of magic)? i'm asking because it's a whooping 80 bucks to ship here in italy, so i'd like to be sure of this thing.
another thing... i cannot find ANY picture online of this thing mounted and working on a real cabinet... any hint?
thank you mate



Hi, killa,

If you already have the cabinet, you're better off getting a plunger kit and button kit.

The controller is for desktop play, primarily, as it feels just like the front end of a real pinball machine.

Especially with the real lockdown bar.

Sounds like a plan to me.

I'm looking into buying a pinball wizard controller. Are these equipped with the new digital plunger kit that doesn't need calibration?

Hi rob3d,

 

The Pinball Wizard is a product of Nanotech Entertainment that we've been contracted to build. This means it will contain the Nanotech controller.

 

We do custom work, though, so feel free to give me a call, and we can probably work out something in the way of a new design.

Great News, Noah.  :otvclap:
Do you have Plans to support eventually Consoles in the future??
Would be great to play PInball Games on my PS3 (PS4  next year) with this Controller.

A few weeks ago i found a report about an "Pinball Wizard 2"-Controller, which supports PS3 and XBox.

Look here: http://investorshub....age_id=88662769
Do you know something about that??

The only thing I know about it is it's a Nanotech product, and it looks really cool. I've been privy to the concept art for some time, and I'm eager to see one.

As for is being console-oriented in the future ... absolutely. Just a matter of time.

:)

At this time, we're out of the lockdown bars we used. We're looking into other options.

Would you entertain the idea of, if there is enough demand, designing a new version of this controller that is fully compatible with Pinball Arcade and Pinaball FX2 on Steam?
