Pikachu isn’t the only ’90s video game mascot to star in a new pinball machine this year. Jersey Jack Pinball and Sega are teaming up on a Sonic the Hedgehog pinball machine, the two companies announced today; it’s already on sale at Jersey Jack’s site, in three different models. Sonic arrives hot on the heels of rival pinball firm Stern’s Pokémon machine, which was released in February, reviving the classic rivalry between Sega and Nintendo on a new battlefield: the world of barcades and basements in which pinball has thrived over the last decade.
