Bomb Dolls
Bomb Dolls is a co-op game where players “eat burgers, pop pills, slam soda, inhale donuts,” while collecting lost souls and trading them for cute outfits. Sounds like a heckuva weekend to me. Thanks to the team at Girl Software for the screenshots!
What the Golf?
What the Golf? is a golf game for people who hate golf, but love vending machines and chibi toasters. Thanks for the screenshot, Chris!
River City Girls
River City is a dangerous place to live, but River City Girls serves as an important reminder that it also boasts one of the highest soda-machine-to-resident ratios anywhere in video gaming.
Darksiders 3
Of all the treasures in Avarice’s horde, these vintage soda machines are the finest. Thanks for the screenshot, Tikhon!
Control
There’s nothing more disappointing that popping open a soda machine with your telekinetic powers, only to discover it’s completely empty. Thanks anyway for the screenshots, Sarcasmotron500!
The Godfather II
This drink machine from The Godfather II is gonna vend you a soda you can’t refuse. Thanks for the screenshot, DylKF!
Astral Chain
Astral Chain, an upcoming action adventure title for the Nintendo Switch, not only features drink machines, but also hamburger and ice cream machines. And whatever that adorable smiley face machine dispenses. Thanks for the screenshots, Counterfeiter!
UPDATE: In a recent tweet, Nintendo confirmed that “vending machines in this near-future city look normal at a glance, but each has an AI with its own personality.” Here’s what you can expect when you interact with a vending machine in Astral Chain.
Game & Wario
It’s not every day that you find a vending machine like this one from Game & Wario for the Wii U that sells sodas and moai statues. Thanks for the screenshot, Duncan!
Speaking of moai, everyone should check out moai.games, a collection of screenshots featuring moai from video games. It’s like The Video Game Soda Machine Project, only with stone monoliths!
