I thought John and Dwight were on Welk. Maybe John is trolling us with Godzilla picture...
But if it's Godzilla vs Welk sounds great to me !

Quoted from jonnyqtrek:Probably no chance of Gamera and Godzilla on the same pin, yeah? Different licenses, I think?
Different license unfortunately. But no big deal. Godzilla has more than enough monsters.
I'm imagining movie scenes of Godzilla knocking over and kicking his way through fake looking buildings for each ramp shot combo. CRASH - 250K, CRASH - 500K, CRASH - 750K while the theme song plays:
Never enough monsters! Imagine Godzilla Jr. playing catch and throwing you an extra ball. IT MUST COME TRUE!!!
How about fighting game style animations? Maybe various lit shots use primary and secondary attacks.
I would rather have original film footage from Showa & Heisei eras. But if the design & animations are done well ( NOT sterns strong suit ) it could be cool.
Quoted from Neal_W:How about fighting game style animations? Maybe various lit shots use primary and secondary attacks.
Yea we’ve had enough “Stern interpretations” of themes lately. Original movie assets or bust on Godzilla.
Quoted from Apinjunkie:As much as these guys enjoy centipede, an actual Godzilla themed pinball machine would be much more enjoyable for them.

He will vaporize that cabinet after trying to play without a trackball...
John has apparently posted other pics besides Godzilla,.... looks like it could be misdirection.
So it was John and Dwight on Welk, or so I thought. Who knows whats going on. Maybe designers are switching projects ??? It's happened before.
If he is doing Godzilla maybe it was theme switcheroo like what happened on Iron Maiden. John started off with Iron Maiden and it was passed off to Elwin. John had an Eddie head is his game and that became Groot and became Guardians of the Galaxy.
So maybe John is on Godzilla now and Elwin is on Welk !
Quoted from LordHumungus:What is "Welk"
Lawrence Welk, and instabuy for me! Based on your avatar, its perfect for you too!!
I could not find anything on web about w e l k other than the Lawrence welk show can someone say what game that might be?
Quoted from diode:I could not find anything on web about w e l k other than the Lawrence welk show can someone say what game that might be?
An imaginary game
Quoted from diode:I could not find anything on web about w e l k other than the Lawrence welk show can someone say what game that might be?
You found it!! Imagine the possibilities!!
Quoted from Roostking:Lawrence Welk, and instabuy for me! Based on your avatar, its perfect for you too!!
I'm a Welk fan sir. Something so settling about that show. Plus I enjoy those pure looking woman singing the whitest music ever. Knowing underneath it all they are savages in the sack. Oh yeah.
Well meaning welk definitions:
welk - to soak or steep
welk - to lose freshness
welk - to diminish, lose brightness
Stern guys - not the things I want to hear about a machine with lights and sounds
Godzeela - where are you?
Quoted from wtatumjr:Ooh ooh! If they're making a Lawrence Welk pin it won't be long for a Pat Boone or Barry Manilow!
I'm in on Welk, and Barry is a "take my money now" pin, but I'll pass on Boone.
Quoted from Methos:I'm in on Welk, and Barry is a "take my money now" pin, but I'll pass on Boone.
You sure? You're gonna miss "April Love" multiball.
Quoted from BallyKISS1978:Whose going opening day to see Kong vs Godzilla?
Going opening day to my basement and HBO MAX.
Quoted from LordHumungus:What is "Welk"?
It is Stern's code name for their upcoming Pink Floyd pinball: "Welk-ome to the Machine."
Quoted from littlecammi:It is Stern's code name for their upcoming Pink Floyd pinball: "Welk-ome to the Machine."
Man I hope that's not true.
Quoted from Hypercoaster:Going opening day to my basement and HBO MAX.
I do not have HBO and I hope IMAX gets it.
Quoted from BallyKISS1978:Whose going opening day to see Kong vs Godzilla?
I wonder who will win
Quoted from zaki:I wonder who will win
Both Kong and Godzilla. Since Mecha-Godzilla will be the bad guy. Aliens from planet Zero are the controllers. Ghidora was a transplant put on earth to destroy the Titans.
Quoted from underlord:Both Kong and Godzilla. Since Mecha-Godzilla will be the bad guy. Aliens from planet Zero are the controllers. Ghidora was a transplant put on earth to destroy the Titans.
We could only hope. Would love if Plant Zero came back.
Quoted from Methos:We could only hope. Would love if Plant Zero came back.
i hope godzilla wins. it would humiliating for him to lose to kong. wasn't kong already killed off once?
Quoted from zaki:i hope godzilla wins. it would humiliating for him to lose to kong. wasn't kong already killed off once?
Yeah, in 1933.
Quoted from Methos:Yeah, in 1933.
In all fairness with the exception of a couple of movies in almost all the King Kong movies poor Kong gets killed off. The writers just don't monkey around with this stuff. Most of the movie plots just ape one another.
Watching it now, what a gas !
Quoted from Methos:Watched the original Godzilla vs. King Kong yesterday.
Holy shit! That octopus effect was F'ing awesome.
The Kong suit blows ass.
Quoted from fast_in_muskoka:Watching it now, what a gas !
Great movie and yeah the Kong suit blows.
Quoted from BallyKISS1978:Great movie and yeah the Kong suit blows.
I'm going out on a thick limb here, but Kong in all Kong movies suck except the original. Cooper/Selznick/O'Brien had something that no one else will ever be able to recreate.
Quoted from Huggers:So the thinking is this is definitely next AND its a Borg game?
Just about to post that. I'll add when do u think we can expect an announcement. I know Zeppelin just happened but March/April?
Quoted from Huggers:So the thinking is this is definitely next AND its a Borg game?
Stern will most likely announce around March/April and I believe Brian Eddy is next up.
Well, it's unclear whether or not Brian Eddy will be doing any more games for Stern. He seemed to imply in at least one interview that I saw, that it would depend on how successful StrThgs was.
So.....
Quoted from DakotaMike:Well, it's unclear whether or not Brian Eddy will be doing any more games for Stern. He seemed to imply in at least one interview that I saw, that it would depend on how successful StrThgs was.

I've heard STH does great on location. Not sure how well its doing in a pandemic... Others have said the new code has really helped the game so maybe its doing better than we think?
Welk all the way. It will be my first LE. If there is a Bubble Machine topper offered that's a instabuy.

Oh come on, Brian Eddy was just being humble. Stern hired him as a game designer. We just don't know if he is on the Elwin/Borg level of 1 game every year, or closer to the Richie level of one game every other year. (Probably in between)
It's either Eddy or Borg next, who knows.
Quoted from drfrightner:already got the LE ordered!!! Dream theme for me!
all LE’s are sold out already as usual

Time will tell. I hope he gets to do another pin for Stern, but I'm not going to count on it until it happens.
Quoted from rvdv:all LE’s are sold out already as usual
Wait, which game is this referring to?
