Quoted from Whysnow:Not an appealing theme to many.
Seriously now, licensing pinball themes is more often than not an exercise in appealing to childhood nostalgia. So I go back to when I was eight years old. Hot Wheels and TMNT were probably my big two obsessions of the day. Flash forward to 2020 and there are new pinballs(!) based on both properties in production at the same time a few miles apart.
Combined with the uninspired layout and price point for how stripped down it is
It's the perfect game for API to have put out when it did. Being lower in price means that more people now spending more time at home than they'd want to might think about buying a pinball, maybe for the first time.
Most importantly, it has a quality feel. I play API's games on location alongside WMS/Bally classics and, if I was deaf/dumb/blind Tommy in there, I wouldn't be sure who made what.
