THE PABST CAN CRUSHER | STERN PINBALL | 2016

Le 13 juillet 2016, Pabst Brewing Company annonce un flipper consacré à sa bière la plus célèbre, Pabst Blue Ribbon. Le jeu est développé en partenariat avec Stern Pinball et doit être présenté quelques jours plus tard au Comic-Con International de San Diego, du 21 au 24 juillet, sur le stand 501.

The Pabst Can Crusher n’est pas une création entièrement nouvelle. C’est une version re-thématisée de Whoa Nellie! Big Juicy Melons, le flipper de WhizBang Pinball que Stern produit depuis 2015. Le plateau reste le même ; l’univers, l’illustration, la musique et le cabinet changent complètement.

Une machine de marque

Pabst présente The Pabst Can Crusher comme une machine exclusive. Après le Comic-Con, la marque prévoit de l’exposer lors de concerts, dans des barcades, à l’occasion d’événements importants et d’activités locales. Dan McHugh, directeur marketing de Pabst, explique que le jeu capture parfaitement l’essence de la marque.

Au moment de l’annonce, Stern ne précise ni si la machine sera vendue au public, ni par quels canaux, ni en combien d’exemplaires, ni à quel prix. La machine est d’abord associée aux opérations promotionnelles de Pabst avant d’être proposée au grand public.

Le plateau de Dennis Nordman

La disposition du playfield est reprise sans modification de Whoa Nellie! Big Juicy Melons. On retrouve donc le plateau rétro dessiné par Dennis Nordman, ses compteurs de score mécaniques, les indicateurs lumineux du fronton et l’esprit électromécanique qui faisaient l’originalité de la machine d’origine.

Dirty Donny Gillies

L’illustration est entièrement redessinée par Dirty Donny Gillies, artiste rock installé à San Francisco. Son style très chargé et coloré transforme complètement l’apparence du plateau, plus foisonnant que celui de Whoa Nellie! Le dessin multiplie les caméos, dont celui du groupe Red Fang, qui signe la musique du jeu.

Dirty Donny avait déjà signé chez Stern l’illustration du fronton et du plateau de Metallica, en 2013. Il dessinera ensuite celle d’Aerosmith, en 2017, entièrement à la main.

Red Fang

La musique est confiée à Red Fang, groupe de heavy metal américain. Ce choix donne à la machine une identité sonore très éloignée de la bande-son rétro de Whoa Nellie!.

Un cabinet plus moderne

The Pabst Can Crusher abandonne le cabinet en caisse à fruits patinée et les pieds de Whoa Nellie! au profit d’un habillage plus moderne. La forme du cabinet est conservée, mais la décoration adopte les couleurs et l’esprit de Pabst Blue Ribbon.

SPIKE et plateforme commune

Comme Whoa Nellie!, la machine fonctionne sur l’électronique SPIKE de première génération. En 2018, Stern reprendra encore cette plateforme pour Primus, consacré au groupe de rock du même nom, confirmant l’intérêt d’une base mécanique simple et éprouvée pour des projets de marque ou de série limitée.
