What dastardly criminal mastermind sealed this Booster’s Super Soda vending machine behind a giant padlocked door in Batman: The Brave and The Bold – The Videogame for the Wii?

Justice League: Cosmic Chaos
According to Google Translate, Superman is saying, “Around me, you must never threaten journalists or broadcasters. That is one of my biggest taboos.” Well, one of my biggest taboos is superhero games without soda machines, so Justice League: Cosmic Chaos is A-OK in my book. [Source]

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy
Even in the middle of Knowhere, you can always count on finding a cold soda. These drink machines from Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy feature cameos from Empress Lilandra of the Shi’ar, Arishem the Judge, intergalactic rock star Lila Cheney, and the Nova Corps’ Richard Rider.
And just for fun, here’s a screenshot of Drax the Destroyer carefully considering his beverage options. Choosing the wrong drink is no laughing matter.

Fantastic 4
I’ve already cataloged vending machines from both Fantastic 4 games released for the Game Boy Advance, so here’s one from the Grand Central Station level of the 2005 PlayStation 2 game. Now I’m only one soda machine short of a fantastic foursome of my own!
Superhero Week
Gotham Knights
Soder-Cola (“America’s Favorite Drink”) is back, back, back, back again in Gotham Knights, and Batgirl seems pretty stoked about it.
This marks the first entry in the Video Game Soda Machine Project’s stupendous Superhero Week. Every day this week, I’ll be cataloging new soda machines from superhero games, so stay tuned!

Fallout 76
I visited Fallout 76’s Appalachia for the first time in years, and it seems the industrious wastelanders have been hard at work engineering some exciting new vending machines. For instance, there’s the patriotic Nuka-Cola vending machine above, designed in the style of Nuka-Cola’s signature rocket-shaped bottles.
Along similar lines, we also have this Nuka-Cola Mystery machine. Honestly, I’m a little wary of something called “Nuka-Cola Mystery” when there’s literally a quest in Fallout 76 that involves the Vault Dweller producing a batch of Nuka-Cola that contains their own blood.
Next up is this blue Nuka-Cola vending machine from the lobby of the Aquarium of the Atlantic in Fallout 76’s Atlantic City boardwalk expedition.
If you prefer a nuclear blast from the past (which is technically Fallout 76’s future), here’s a Sunset Sarsaparilla vending machine — straight from the Mojave Wasteland!
Allow me to introduce you to Sweetie Pete. He’s a Nuka-Cola Quantum vending machine introduced in Fallout 76’s The Pitt expedition. Here’s his in-game description: “Sweetie Pete wants to help fortify the residents of Appalachia against the daily dangers, making some Caps at the same time is just a bonus!”
Finally, we have the Nukatron and Quantum Nukatron: modified Nuka-Cola vending machines reprogrammed to wander players’ C.A.M.P.s and collect various flavors of Nuka-Cola.
BattleTech
These Coolant Flush vending machines from BattleTech serve as a reminder that battlemechs aren’t the only things on the battlefield that can overheat.
Thanks for the screenshot, John!
Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons
Here’s a Pipis vending machine from Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons. Pipis: The Choice of an Abobo Generation.
Here’s another soda machine from the game’s introduction…
Pokémon Pokopia
The Pokémon franchise has a long history of featuring vending machines, and Pokémon Pokopia is no exception. This one sells Soda Pop, Fresh Water, Chili Sauce, Roserade Tea, and Moomoo Milk Coffee.
The game’s Habitat Dex also includes an illustration of the same vending machine.
