Los Angeles
I've already said it before... Just one of the big Nintendo properties....
Super Mario Bros.
The Legend of Zelda
These two would be no brainers on the Nintendo side.

I hope JJP doesn't waste its resources making another Elvira pin like we've heard could possibly happen. There are already a couple of them, one being really really good, and there is no need for more. How many people under the age of 50 even know or care about her past act. It's such a relic of another time. New pins should try to reach new audiences, not just nostalgic pinheads.

Quoted from craigj:I personally think the biggest theme that could be secured is Minecraft. Kids and adults would flock to it. I've been playing minecraft on pc for years now with my kids. It has universal appeal just like WOZ. There are a lot of possibilities with an LCD monitor, as you progress in the game Steve could be building a large structure, maybe a castle or just a house depending on the mode. This theme could actually make use of a nice LCD screen.
The problem with Minecraft is that it is just way too new for the older pinball audience to have the feels for it, or even know about it if they don't have younger kids. I've expressed before that JJP should strongly consider video game properties because of where gaming entertainment is and will be going. Still the the obvious partnership in anything video gaming should be Nintendo. Characters like Super Mario and Donkey Kong are 30+ years old at this point and pinheads have played their games in the past and are still highly highly relevant in the modern day.
