With the release of 1.0 software for TBL I'm curious what's next for Dutch Pinball.
With the amount of love and theme integration that went into The Big Lebowski, I can't wait to see what they come up with next.
What would you like to see as the next Dutch release?
What rumors exist regarding the next title for Dutch Pinball?
You got to give them credit though. Through all the issues they experienced they are still churning out games. It would have been easy for them to close shop and walk away, but they didn’t. Whatever their next game is, I’m in. TBL is my favorite out of all my games. Sure it has its quirks, but so do all the other manufactures as well.

There really is nothing like it. They captured that film so well. Can't wait to get home and try the 1.0 code.
Whatever it is, I'm in as well. Hoping it's something as Iconic as TBL. Boondock Saints would be amazing, but unsure if the following is large enough to warrant a pin. Pulp Fiction could be incredible... Donnie Darko..
It's all subjective, but have any titles every been floated by Dutch?

Nothing so far.
Quoted from pascal-pinball:Maybe they can make all the TBL "early achievers" pins first.
a lot of people are waiting for many years for there TBL.
are there still early adopters who have not gotten theirs?!
Quoted from northvibe:are there still early adopters who have not gotten theirs?!
There are still quite a few people waiting for their EA games.
Sounds like they have the rights through 2023 with the option to extend. They can continue to make TBL and release another title.
I don’t believe Dutch wants to be a one game company forever. They can still utilize profits to make the early adopters whole.

Over eight years. I’m a customer once everyone I know gets their games.
Quoted from Pdxmonkey:Over eight years. I’m a customer once everyone I know gets their games.
I absolutely expect Dutch to make it right for the EA group. How I contribute to that happening is by buying a TBL. How I can further contribute to that effort is by purchasing their next title.
It’s the new money pouring in that makes that it possible. If they can add more sales volume by creating another title then why not? I’m very confident current owners of TBL will be first in line on their next release. New title just increases their customer base. Use this influx of sales to make the EA group whole.
Hopefully the increased popularity with the new code drop will move the needle that way as well.

Uff. I had issues with one of my games, but don't think it took this long. After so many years of this I thought they had firmed it up. Hope they cam get those fulfilled.

As EA #187 I really appreciate "new" buyers infusing money into Dutch Pinball and hopefully getting the machine that I have been waiting over 7 years to get. Really stings seeing people that ordered the machines just over a year ago getting theirs, but what can you do. I am truly thankful that Barry and Co. are still doing what they can to keep things moving and hopefully one day I will see that beautiful TBL arrive at my door. I literally think I will cry! Until then I will keep waiting with all of the other EA's!
Quoted from paulbaptiste:If they can add more sales volume by creating another title then why not?
Right now - US customers are waiting approximately 11-13 months from deposit to game delivery. I assume this is because they can't produce the game quickly enough for the current sales demand. There may also be parts/supply issues.
That being the case, announcing a new title and splitting the assembly line (or further complicating the supply issues) doesn't seem like an ideal solution right now.
If they took pre-orders for a new game other than TBL, I think the level of scrutiny and flack they would receive would far outweigh any benefit of the cash flow.
I do wish them success and more titles in the future though - once the EAs are made complete!
Quoted from paulbaptiste:With the state of pinball right now maybe Dutch will finally drop a teaser on the Matrix?
I truly hope it is coming but would rather wait till the fall or after these other releases die down a bit.
Pinball can’t handle that right now with all the releases. This could create a time paradox, the result of which could cause a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the space time continuum and destroy the entire universe.

It’s already hard enough to settle on one release let alone multiples. If the next Dutch game came I don’t know what I’d sell to raise funds but I’d have to…. What a predicament!
I’m fine with Dutch coming out later in the year when their hype train can be at its peak!
I’m almost 100% in with whatever they do next. It’s hard to conceive of them going way off mark with how well they captured TBL but I’m hoping for something epic. Word is we will finally get something new next year from Dutch. Can’t wait!

Well at some point it will be a year and a half from now (approximately a year and a half from now I'd say) and as I still expect to be here I'd finally have my BTTF!

Lolololololol
Quoted from PanzerKraken:Are you ready to wait a year and a half for your BTTF?
Yes I am. My only hope is we have a different option from Cointaker to order from. We need a little distributor diversity in the states for Dutch Pinball please.
I'm all for whatever comes next by Dutch. Didn't think BTTF was an option, but now with Lior doing all the sculpts it'll far surpass the build quality (and would've anyway) than if it's built by Stern. I guess we will see!
Let's go Dutch!

I vote Flip N Out! All I could find was Cointaker and Nitro.

What if its fake news to divert attention!

I’m sure Zach with be good with as well! Cointaker is my only reservation against buying another game from Dutch. Let’s hope a new distributor is part of the plan as well.
Quoted from Roostking:What if its fake news to divert attention!
Definitely considered it...

Ouch. How did Cointaker piss you off? 
Quoted from beelzeboob:Ouch. How did Cointaker piss you off?
If you read the TBL preorder thread, it’s more about documenting frustration with cointaker than excitement about TBL. I went through it with Lebowski and Alien. Both games I really enjoyed, both manufactures supported me incredibly well, both I feel were (one still is) hamstrung by using a single distributor who unfortunately doesn’t communicate well at all to buyers. You can read years of this in the preorder thread and I experienced it myself.
I’m positive news, Dutch will be at Expo!!!
I thought the NEXT STERN thread already established that Homepin, makers of the beloved Thunderbirds, has the BTTF license. Is Kaneda advising people to buy nothing this year to be set to buy something next year from Homepin?
As for what is next from Dutch, are we expecting a stand-alone pin or another dress-up thingy, like the one for Whirlwind. That offering was - dare I say? - weird. My buddy has a TBL. It arrived about thirteen months after he ordered it. It's very attractive, but that's about all I know about it. It shoots pretty well - including the upper playfield. I realize lots of "early adopters" are waiting for games. That stinks!

He said it's Dutch not Homepin. The Homepin rumor came from 2 people trolling me...lol.

Kaneda is saying Dutch is making Back to the Future!
Which would be incredible. In my selfish mind I want something more adult, something in a similar vein as Lebowski, but can you imagine the sales for BTTF if Dutch has the license and Lior is doing the sculpts? It’s going to be incredible. They need to be hiring and training and expanding….shit, even building games now if that’s the case.

Dutch didn’t make anything for Whirlwind.

I am hoping they are either expanding operations or working with someone to build all the BTTF machines in less than 10 years!
I can tell ya', I'd rather have a long wait, semi hard to come by BTTF game that is awesome than a dime a dozen average game. I mean, honestly most licensed bttf stuff often is small run kinda stuff, so I could see Dutch doing it, even if they can't compete on volume. I have room for one more game and TBL is probably the top pick if I was going to to be in the 12k range for a game.
Quoted from PanzerKraken:Are you ready to wait a year and a half for your BTTF?
Lol. Cru has already been waiting for years. He would be happy if it comes out in a couple more. BTTF by Dutch Pinball would be worth waiting for.
It’s exciting times!!
BTTF is Universal,
Lebowski is Grammy pictures… which is owned by universal…
Could Universal be happy with Lebowski and what DP have accomplished with all that’s gone on… has Roger Sharpe worked his magic and secured this HUGE licence for DP!!
I imagine TBL will stop production and the next game will be the focus.
DP has a year to increase its production capacity and focus on making one game… if it is BTTF, DP will have a revenue stream well into 2030
Quoted from northvibe:Did Dutch actually ship EVERY game ordered even the originals?
They still have like a 13 month wait
Quoted from PanzerKraken:They still have like a 13 month wait
Longer than that….thats just how long it takes to pay in full. It’s seems like it’s still another 4-6 months after that (with very little communication).
