Quoted from CrazyLevi:

It’s lame because it’s a horrible theme that also happens to be incredibly childish. Batman has charm. Turtles don’t.

Your statements only remind me of when i talk about pinball to non pinball friends. Theme wont change the fact that we spend thousands of dollars on toys regarded as childish entertainment to most of the world. Turltes dont hit your nostalgia bone. Cool. I feel like Dinosaurs are a dumb kids theme but damn do I want a JP.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

Wow so an opportunity for extremely basic creative wordplay was beyond the writers of that song? Wouldn’t “on the half shell” be a little more clever than “in?@
“On” is kind of funny.
“In” is just as lame as anything else related to this theme.

Wouldn't that be describing the turtles as heroes split open? IN the half shell.implies.a living shelled creature....omg what am inargueing? What am i doing with my life? Effing semantics lol

Quoted from DS_Nadine:

I think people didn't get the question: "Look to own" and not "buying".
I "look" for games that look interesseting (wich is of course influenced by the license) and THEN I decide if I buy it ideally after having some games on it.
So there are games I looked to own, I wouldn't buy after palying them and vice versa.

German semantics?
Thats not how i read it.

Quoted from GTO:

Did this game just go from #1 to #12 in the Top 100 in just one weekend???

Top 100 is a joke. A general guideline at best. Check the reviews and you will see anything over a 9 has been flagged by multiple haters and anything under an 8 has been flagged by owners. Some people put far too much effort in to keeping the top 3 the same for all eternity.

Quoted from pookycade:

So I know of a local establishment that took out TWD due to theme, but Iron Maiden remains. I think even if you love the layout the actual theme/DMD is a bit much in a family establishment or even a family home for that matter. As much disdain as people show to TNMT as a concept, as a location pin it is absolutely solid gold. Remember companies Like Stern don’t make pins to satisfy a small group of collectors but rather still cater to the public locations they will be put in. I suspect that license was worth every penny they are paying for it.

Not sure why Maiden gets this rep as a gruesome pin. Other than the extra ball animation (which i totally agree with) what else in this game is so bad. The almost cartoonish Eddies? I got mine when my son was barely 5. Only thing that spooked him was the face in the clouds on the display.
Hell the GB scream is 100x scarier than anything in Maiden. Still makes the people at the bar jump.
