They are planning a second release for the end of this year, so it's not impossible that it is both.

Well if it's Godfather, I can't imagine it setting sales on fire. Harry Potter would destroy all comers. But maybe it's themed like Kingpin with guns and slot machines and Godfather will do ok, even at crazy pricing?
Lets face it, if its Godfather someone at the top was a big fan and couldn't resist jumping on it. This is not a theme for everyone.

Funny thing. The second time I was MC for jack's seminar at Expo. I wanted to do a godfather style introduction claiming he'd build a pinball machine you couldn't refuse. Unfortunately he nixed it.
LTG : )
Quoted from insight75:What if its both? GF and HP? Its been done before....
What if magical pixies fly out of my butt and bake me a pizza? <---This has a greater chance of happening.
Quoted from Furio:They are planning a second release for the end of this year, so it's not impossible that it is both.
Its not Harry Potter either. Lol I can't wait for ya'll to find out what it is. but no its not HP and yes its impossible that its both.
Being it's Eric's pin. I am contemplating which of my 6 jjp pins to trade or sell to get it.
I hope it's great.

Then i suspect the one with the dark tone, no fun or goofyness, acompanied with violin will sell poorly.
Oh my God how are they going to make a pinball machine out of a movie?!?!?
Interested to see what they can do with a theme like this; could be awesome.

Me too.
Love the movie. Like millions of other people.
Bring on “the mechs!”
Slash version of theme in the game? That’s fine, as long as the real one is there too.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Me too.

Weirldy the popularity & time frame probably has a ton of crossover with Jaws; which everyone thinks is a great idea.
People just decided months ago this was a dumb theme for a game and ran with it.
And retired to their living room to watch 10 seasons of Scooby Doo on DVD.
We shall see. JJP made a good game out of Wizard of OZ I think they can handle the greatest gangster epic of them all.
1940s Mafia with racketeering, gambling, bootlegging, prostitution, drug trafficking, money laundering, robberies, bribing cops & politicians, and of course MURDER on the way to becoming the #1 crime syndicate in NYC.
Sounds like a great theme to me.
Hope its got the callout:
Hey, listen, I want somebody good - and I mean very good - to plant that gun. I don't want my brother coming out of that toilet with just his dick in his hands, alright?

I agree, i think it's a heavy theme, and maybe not very fun, but you can see with the pinball they already made that they can do a great pinball from a non fun theme. I think it will be a bit dark and serious, but very moody and good atmosphere.
Let's wait and see.

Woz is cheerful, happy with lots of joyful tunes along the way, and also very important a clear path/progression and goal.

Same goes for Poo Fighters
Spotify and itunes was on meltdown...
Quoted from pbjksb:I will pass on this one! I don't like FF but FF is better than this theme!
What if there are 10 more mechs with balls flying out of the backbox in to a little hole in the playfield glass?
Quoted from TreyBo69:Guys, it could still totally be Harry Potter
That music is what Gandalf was playing to Harry at Mount Doom before they tossed in the Book of the Dead after they destroyed Atreyu and Falkor.
Quoted from Sako-TRG:Hey, listen, I want somebody good - and I mean very good - to plant that gun.
Attract mode slogan - Hey, listen, I want somebody good - and I mean very good - to put quarters into this game.
LTG : )
Quoted from Wariodolby:I guess we’re all watching Godfather trilogy this weekend!
Only the weirdos!

I am definitely not doing that, but still super excited to see what Mr Meunier has for created for us

No need to prop a theme up by crapping on another one, plenty of people would have been excited for Scooby Doo if JJP had got the license.
I love this title, I just contacted my distributor and told him… bada bap bada bing bada boom I’m in for one
Eric doesn’t mess around. Epic themes. Beyond excited to see the greatest Gangster movie ever turned into a pinball.
We always want new and cutting-edge. We are getting it!
Already in for a CE.

Just hopefully not any pasta-dish-gate or car trunk-gate (although a working car trunk ball lock mech would be pretty cool).
Quoted from TheLaw:Only the weirdos!
Was already watching it in bed before the announcement…
My dog too… is a bit weird ..lol
Quoted from TreyBo69:Do you think this game will make an offer you cant refuse?
That has to be the marketing slogan...
Quoted from Roostking:Comes with a free bag of washers.
"The best Micro Playfield yet"
Quoted from Flipper_McGavin:A theme I wouldn't have to throw a blanket over due to embarrassment when having a girl over.
Harry Potter?
Yes, I agree
I'm too lazy to look up the dates, but is this their shortest time between titles? Makes sense they'd ramp up to speed with multiple designers on staff now.
Quoted from yancy:I'm too lazy to look up the dates, but is this their shortest time between titles? Makes sense they'd ramp up to speed with multiple designers on staff now.
Also makes sense because it appears that TS4 is a flop.

When you make a sales flop, time to crank up the line with something else, ASAP. It will be interesting to see where pricing falls this time.
They cut POTC quickly due to the backlash over disc-gate and trunk-gate. Too quickly, it turned out, because when people finally got a chance to go hands-on with it, demand went through the roof and they had already canned it and moved on. In this case, they have real-world, wide sales confirmation TS4 is a flop, so no danger in rapidly getting away from the stinkbomb.
