Quoted from John_Smith:I've checked constantly for new machines, but we've already reached way past April Fool's day and STILL NOTHING. All I've heard about pinball in 2021 is that more former pinball team members are getting hired (Mark Penacho at Stern, Jack E. Haeger, Zofia Ryan (formerly Zofia Bil) and Dennis Nordman at American Pinball, etc.), expos getting cancelled (probably because COVID is still hanging around), and a re-themed Gottilieb table that was used as a movie prop this year (which I don't count as an actual release). I've also heard about the rumored pinball games yet to be released (listed below), but still nothing yet for over 4 months into 2021. What's happening, did I miss something?
Rumored yet-to-be-released pinball tables:
Stern:
-JAWS
-Godzilla
-James Bond
-Rush
Jersey Jack Pinball:
-Pirates of the Caribbean (re-release)
-Toy Story
Spooky Pinball:
???
American Pinball:
???
Deeproot:
???
(I've even heard that someone, somewhere, was making a Hello Kitty pin and probably another one making a My Little Pony pin. Can anyone confirm these two?)
JJP is not rerunning POTC period. JJP has only produced 6 titles in 10 years so don't expect anything new from them for a long while. Same for Spooky and the other smaller manufacturers. They don't exactly crank out multiple titles a year. Stern released their last game late last years so that is only 4-5 months. They have a huge backlog so no reason to rush any new game out.
