Quoted from vdojaq:Could Kingpin actually happen? A remake that really would be new to the market.
I thought I heard a rumour that the guys remaking Pinball Circus are doing Kingpin as their next game?

Quoted from pinmister:BBB would be great but I would rather have a King Pin first
Quoted from jamieflowers:I would be in for a Kingpin. BBB is a pretty game but not that much fun IMO.
Quoted from PinMonk:Yeah, I'd be more excited by Kingpin than BBB if they're doing Capcom games.
I don't understand these statements. Both are quite rare, but at least there's a slight chance you would have the opportunity to play BBB in order to develop an opinion on game play. On the flip side, there are only nine confirmed KPs out there according to IPDB, so your likelihood of actually seeing one is very rare, not to mention playing one. How could anyone state a preference for KP without no basis to draw from?
Using this argument, how could any manufacturer remake a game that almost no one has ever played, and not have some trepidation about their sales?
Quoted from PinMonk:You're assuming, and, well...
Both games have been at any number of pinball shows. As a result, I've played BBB and Kingpin and have developed the opinion that Kingpin is better. I'd be more excited to see a Kingpin remake as a result.
Presuming, not assuming.
You've had a chance to play both and that's great, you have an opportunity to compare.
How many of the almost 45,000 Pinsiders (not to mention hobbyists outside of Pinside) have had a chance to play one of the nine KPs; not very many I'd expect.

Quoted from j_m_:this is not what I would consider a showstopper
there are plenty of different coils (with different strengths) available. it's simply a matter of increasing the number of windings on the spool. yes, it will be a different part no. and possibly one that is unique to BBB, but given the make-up of the typical pinball machine, that's not anything out of the ordinary
You mean decreasing the number of windings I think.

Quoted from whitey:I would think BBB or CC considering they are the highest priced games ?
Please not BBB. I already have Iron Maiden and Toy Story to buy, I don't think my bank account can handle a third game right now!
