Quoted from oldbaby:New stuff that I would like to see more of:
Co-op play (TMNT, TNA)
Character Selection (TMNT, GOT, JJP PotC)
Map mode system (Stern Jurassic Park)
Mini-wizard mode accessible as alternative game mode from start (Stern Jurassic Park, TMNT) (this is big)
The tilt warning lights from JJP PotC.
Everything about JJP PotC.
Upper flipper controlled by separate button (Heist)
Pausing the game (Heist)
Racing system in Cosmic Cart Racing
The Projector in Stranger Things
Multiball lit by switch hits (Elvira HoH)
Probably more stuff that I'm forgetting.
Those are all neat options, but what people truly want to see in pinball are “holy shit, that’s cool!” mechs & features. Watching something living & magical happen on the playfield. The MM castle interactivity & explosion...Addams’ Thing grabbing the ball...Dr. Who’s Time Expander & its 3 level reveal...Stern’s POTC ship getting destroyed & sinking...the closest thing in a decade is probably Stern JP’s T-Rex - a really well animated, exciting “living” interactive creature (although it’s not on the Pro lol).
LEDs & LCDs are OK, but expected in a modern electronic product. We want to see something absolutely unexpected that we want to then see happen repeatedly cuz it’s so cool.
