Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:Go to the Jersey Jack webpage. Notice that they have every single pin they have ever made on their front splash page either as a photo or scrolling through photos... but they do not have Pirates listed at all. It's like they want the game to be forgotten.
It's not there because it's currently sold out. Jack could still make more, but I'm thinking they've lost money on this title (disc, chest redesigns, playfield pooling issues, complex assembly) and would need to charge more if re-released down the road.
I was interested in getting one til I found all the modes are more or less the same, just shooting various shots to collect characters. There's still a lot of good stuff in the game but IMHO not nearly worth the price with games like JP2 and IM available now.
