Hidden Agenda

There’s nothing threatening or disappointing about the soda machine in the background of this scene from Hidden Agenda on the PlayStation 4. Thanks for the submission, Dan!

Planet Coaster

June 26, 2018 decafjedi Planet Coaster

What’s not to love about Planet Coaster’s new Gulpee vending machines? They even have a soda-loving dinosaur mascot named Gulpee Rex! Thanks for the heads-up on this one, Jeremy.

Lux-Pain

June 26, 2018 decafjedi Lux-Pain

I agree with Rui from Lux-Pain on the Nintendo DS; any cafeteria with multiple vending machines is pretty cool in my book. There’s also a soda machine stationed outside the Wonder DVD emporium.

A soda machine also appears in this concept art from the game.

“Help swarms of girls escape their demon possessions by using your Pheromone Shot gadget for euphoric exorcisms” in Gal*Gun 2 for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC. I don’t know about all that; I’m just here for the Zepsi machine. [Source]

FIFA Street 2

June 26, 2018 decafjedi FIFA Street

I understand there’s some kind of soccer tournament underway, so what better time to post this subway platform soda machine from FIFA Street 2 for the PlayStation Portable?

Donkey Kong 64

June 25, 2018 decafjedi Donkey Kong Series

What’s that behind Candy Kong? Why, it’s a soda machine! This screenshot is from Nintendo’s 1999 “Hot Newz” promotional VHS featuring prerelease gameplay footage from Donkey Kong 64. While the soda machine is replaced by a row of musical instruments in the final release, The Cutting Room Floor has salvaged the prototype’s Koko Konga texture.

Welcome to The Video Game Soda Machine Project, Donkey Kong!

Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis

June 25, 2018 decafjedi Jurassic Park

The snack kiosk in Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis, a dinosaur tycoon sim for Windows, PlayStation 2, and Xbox, boasts Sunkist and Hawaiian Punch vending machines. Thanks, Pablo!

LEGO The Incredibles

June 25, 2018 decafjedi LEGO The Incredibles, The Incredibles

Elastigirl is trapped on a runaway hover train in LEGO The Incredibles. Her only hope of escape is to smash up these soda machines, reassemble the bricks into a giant can of Mr Pop, and use the carbonated battering ram to bust through to the next train car!

MapleStory

June 25, 2018 decafjedi MapleStory

This CoCo LaLa vending machine from MapleStory was an exclusive item available only to players logging in from select South Korean gaming cafes. How’s that for a limited release? [Source]

Splatoon 2

June 24, 2018 decafjedi Splatoon

This vending machine from Splatoon 2’s Octo Expansion dispenses drink tickets that players can exchange for a soda. That’s only one step removed from a soda machine, which is close enough for me!

Thanks to djow and @EvGarde for the tip and screenshot, respectively.
