I read in another forum topic that Hotwheels is just a misdirection and that AP is actually doing BTTF as their next game. That's a definite buy for me as an NIB. I love American, but am out on a Hotwheels. It holds no interest for me. Back to the Future, however? Hell, yeah. I love the theme. I'd be reluctant to buy it if Stern made it because I don't like their quality. But American or JJP would be awesome. Anybody have any thoughts on this? Any insider scoop?

That's a great question. Maybe they're not ready to undertake something that epic. I was just reacting to a string of comments I read on "The Next Stern" feed. I own a Houdini and love it. I played Oktoberfest at a local bar quite a few times and enjoyed it very much as well (though it isn't a theme I'd buy). I know there's been a fair amount of buzz lately about a new BTTF game. My hope is that it will be done by American or JJP simply because I've been very disappointed in Stern's quality over the past several years. Of course Stern is the big fish in the pond so a major title like BTTF would probably go to them. I guess I'm just wishfully thinking.
