Quoted from merccat:They have not announced anything as it won’t be official until its official. Cliff notes version of thread speculation & announcements on these subjects...
Timeline:
They seem to be pushing to have something for end of this year, although that will likely just be additional and more finalized prototypes. I’m personally thinking sometime next year for those of us wanting to take one home.
Pricing:
Nothing has really even been speculated about price yet other than some merchandise for sale. Translight purchase got some of us to the front of line for purchase of the game when it does come out. I can’t foresee any real surprises with pricing. There’s a lot on the new game market right now and it is probably going to be competitive.
Thanks, following now.

Quoted from PinMonk:I just wish they had gone with a traditional DMD shape rather than a smaller rectangular DMD shape on a square LCD for Kingpin. I was super-excited it was being re-done, but that one thing makes it a no-buy for me because the aesthetic is bad.
LOL. I forgot, you are more about looks than how the pins plays. I hope it plays awesome!
Quoted from PinMonk:Yeah, that's it. You got me. How'd you get so smart?
Your posting history!

Quoted from Warzard:Hello Flynibus. Happy to see you too. I’m happy you come here and defends the project with your translite ... oops sorry, do you have one?
That say it all. You talk and you talk and ... you know everything. (Like always).
Note: i have never been a Jpop fan... WTF?!?
Please give us a feedback on the project, I would change my mind right away.
I don’t have timeline. There have never been any timeline. So what about we are in 2031 and we continue this chat, am I allowed Flynibus to say anything if there is still no progress? I might ask you before posting next time.
They do have a life, I do also and so are you.
There are more important things than pinball in life: for that, we agree! Finally!
So be it
You act like they owe you something.. Do they? What $$$ have you sent them?

Quoted from TwilightZone:I feel they might have missed the boat by taking too long. Some great games being released right now:
- Alien
- Godzilla
- Cactus Canyon
And there is supposed to be another run of EHOH some time in 2022.
That's 4 killer games.
While I was interested, I have to admit, the above titles hold more interest.
Are people actually putting deposits down on this game? Deeproot was not that long ago.

Quoted from Warzard:Got some infos but don’t hold your breath.
There is still no manufacturing contract none partnership for now.
A manufacturer is interested (guess who) and a discussion has been started but it stayed like this and that’s it. They need to start over the chat at an expo, if it will ever happen. They are not focused on that whatsoever because they want/prefer (i guess) do things themselves for some reasons and maybe keep the control over the project or maybe, they are just not ready.
If it stays like this, they have several more years of development (according to them, and we can believe it). They just got the original films from a private collector 2 weeks ago from nederlands who contacted them (thanks to him ! ) so I guess they’ll need to start over some of the work they have done already but it’s still a good thing.
Almost 5 years after, it still look like they were in the beginning of this dev. I understand building a pinball is hard. I can’t imagine this will go to the end without any solid partnership and/or someone taking over IMO but we’ll see. Since it’s really hard to get any solid infos because there is no more channel of communication (Pinside is avoided), this will be not be known after a while I guess.
This project was supposed to finance the PC project, so the PC project is still behind all this.
Seriously with all the tech and these games coming out nowadays would KP even be on the radar? If they said they were shipping them next week how much would you all be willing to pay?

Thats amazing! I dont fully know the history of these games, but I know they are super rare.
How many of each were made?
Quoted from LTG:Truly amazing. Because he built them.
LTG : )
From parts, or he is "Gene"?

Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:This is covered extensively and definitively in the Gene Cunningham thread.
Williams tried making Big Bang Bar. And one of the Capcom Big Bang Bar’s was lost in a fire (Gene’s)

I still don’t believe Gene actually lost his, the fire was an attempted insurance scam. I’d bet he sold it and had some spare cabinet and some metal as his proof. Who’s gonna know?That one he built is from parts and materials he made himself. Gene died a few years ago.
Point 1. Interesting and I have read part of that thread. I should finish it.
Point 2. Tom is badass!! Is there a thread on these builds???
