    I swear to god, there are a mountain of awesome video game properties that would be incredible pinball machines. It seems the high ups of the Stern's and the Jersey Jack's of the world are just of that different generation that just don't get modern video gaming and because of that fact don't go after some obvious video game licenses that would make incredible and profitable machines. There are dozens of gold mines out there and I think we should start listing them out as titles would like to see receive the pinball treatment~

    Call Of Duty. A war themed pin would be cool.

    Farsight's Williams Hall of Fame could make a great pin.

    That or Bioshock.

    Hotline Miami!

    COD would be interesting. But then EA would create DLC for each flipper to work and for every mode to be activated and then a multiplayer mode that would be exploited by 10 year old kids and then I'd just spend every game getting headshot by people that call me bad names. /cry

    All the IPs listed so far would not only most likely be profitable, but would bring new players and collectors into the hobby.

    STARCRAFT

    For this game you could have a Limited Edition machine for each race: Terran, Protoss, and Zerg.... That would be awesome!!

    Call of Duty, huge with kids and adults.

    #18 10 years ago

    No 1st person shooters should be a pinball game. Even my teen kids say that and they are PC gamers and XBOX360/PS3 owners.

    #19 10 years ago

    haha, Time Pilot... not exactly modern. I don't think classic arcade would bring in new players, but actually a DONKEY KONG pinball would be incredible!

    #20 10 years ago

    If they make a World of Warcrap pinball...I will quit the hobby...

    Agreed that we need new blood in pinball; but how much of that new blood will commit serious cash to the hobby?

    If there's a way to get these new machines out on location and have the younger gen actually try them, yeah.... good idea.

    But these titles would have limited support from the 40-55 year olds who are spending the cash as collectors. Not as many 18-34 yo's can afford pinball machines (yet).

    You know what? You are very true. With the money it takes to buy a new Stern LE machine you could buy every modern gaming console, along with every major video game title, accessories, and still possibly have money to throw around on energy drinks and pizza. Younger video gamers don't have that disposible income to throw at pinball, but people like me (I'm 31) who grew up playing video games are getting older and starting to get that cash for more luxurious things. Look at the market for retro video games, it's blowing up like crazy.

    IF VIDEO GAME THEMED PINBALL IS NOT THE IMMEDIATE PRESENT, ITS MOST CERTAINLY THE FUTURE and Jersey Jack, Stern, and whoever else designing machines need to take this into account if they want to be fruitful in the future~

    #29 10 years ago

    Damn good ideas Strange. I think It may help the hobby get new blood. Just have to run a market analysis.

    Bioshock, God of War, and Tomb Raider are all great themes that would lend themselves well to a pinball machine.

    OMG, TOMB RAIDER. That would do well with the female audience as well!

    Call of Duty. A World War II themed pin would be awesome. And just think of the interesting Hitler recaption some enterprising pinsider would make dedicated to it.

    #40 10 years ago
    Quoted from Strange:

    SUPER MARIO GALAXY

    If they made a Super Mario Galaxy I can guarantee that machine would be in my house. It wouldn't be for me as I'm 43, but I've got 2 kids and what Batman was to me growing up is Mario to my 10 year old. My 10 year old likes pinball and if he knew they made a Super Mario Galaxy I know we'd get one. Not only would my kids play it, but we also have a lot of kids over and I'm pretty sure that machine would be a hit with them as well.

    Stern could definitely cash in on all of us in the 40 to 55 range because we've got the disposable income and many of us also have young kids.

    Please dad, can we get one? I promise I won't ask for anything else for at least a week!

    I think the number of younger people buying pins would surprise you, but I think you're right. Its too bad that if stern did make a game that would put the focus more towards opperating, they would get berated by all the people in the hobby that want them to focus on collector games.

    Quoted from jdoz2:

    I would indeed be surprised if any young people are buying $8,000 pins.

    Usually if I go to a younger persons house for a service call, the pin is an old Bally Playboy that their uncle gave them.

    I have never gone to a young person's house to fix a WOZ or Avengers....

    Welp maybe Im biased because of my age and I wasnt exactly talking about LEs. Im pretty set on buying a NIB within a year and Im 24.
