I agree with PinB. Pee Wee pinball machine. I believe Paul Reubens created the character and owns the rights. He would likely be very involved - and it would be an epic game.

I'm thinking either Robot Chicken as the creators would want to be all in and involved. Have many vehicles to help promote. Nerdy as shit. Or maybe something Sega/Nintendo flavored - a cornucopia of hits.
Quoted from Rarehero:Everything in Robot Chicken is a parody of an existing property. You can get away with parody on a TV show...but for a licensed product might be a bit of a legal nightmare.
Fair point. I don't get that law. Ok to sell commercial time for content that is a parody of an existing property, but not a product. But then again, how did weird Al get past this?
Ask Seth Green next you see him. Anyone ever look at the list of celebrities that have helped write and provide voice for these skits? Impressive.
Bill & Teds Excellent adventure, Pee Wee or Robot Chicken. Meets the criteria for people who would want maximum involvement and promote it. Do I hear a no to all 3 Ted?

Quoted from PinB:- License is more of a "personality" than it is a group of famous actors.
- License holders are directly involved in the theming, ruleset, & build.
- License holders will help promote as they "are pushing for more & more & more exposure."
Every time I read this I think Robot Chicken. The license is the personality, the holders Seth Green and the ex-Toyfare editor are super involved, and they have tons of actor friends who lend their voices. I do believe parody law would allow them to do this as well. As set forth by the dumb Starbucks Coffee precedent as - coffee is art. So is Pinball.
