Quoted from DS_Nadine:

Ok here are my wishes, they're really plain and simple and yet I think Borg never nailed this, wich is why I'm very afraif of what will come out of this.
- Let us be a character (either choose one of the Turtles, be an additional shitty friend or at least just treat us as one of 'em)
- Define a goal
- Fight the ENEMY!!!
That means:
No "Leonardo Bash toy", no "Splinter swallowing balls" etc.
It MAKES NO SENSE (from a story point of view) that I shoot balls into Groots mouth or bash Herman Munster, that's just lazy "dropping license stuff" on the playfield. Srsly, stuff like this kills it for me and it is very easy to do.
Let us be a hero and fight our way up from Rocksteady and Bebop up to Shredder, Krang, Technodrome etc. in a race to rescue the world,... or New York,... or maybe only Sunshine Laundromat.
(And wrap that in a callout or to and don't just make a choice who to fight next with no context at all.)
Give us the Enemy(s) as Toys and some (flat) plastics for the New York buildings, as we can hot glue in a variety of Turtles figures to our liking by ourselfes.

Quoted from DS_Nadine:

Youre trolling me?
Exactly the opposite.
Theres no goal that‘s told why I‘m battling those guys and... things.
And the only physical thing to shoot for is (Mini) Deadpool himself.
No, only game that get's this kinda right at the moment is BKSoR.

Quoted from NightTrain:

I think he’s referring to hitting the little Deadpool toy. I agree, it’s incredibly dumb and takes away from the entire feel of the fame. Here you are in an epic battle with the enemies, then you are beating up yourself too? Really Gomez? That’s the best you came up with and you’re heading up shit at Stern?
Don’t fuck up Turtles. For the love of my inner child, don’t fuck it up....like you do all of your play fields.

Quoted from DS_Nadine:

You could just read what I wrote.
Besides the Mini Deadpool Bashtoy, that is not fitting. Where's the context?
That 80's arcade game goals are pretty simple: Save the XXX.
With Turtles it'd be "save April" and then "Save New York", story told.
You have to battle an endboss in Deadpool, but you never see him beforehand.
(You see the black Knight troughout the whole game but have your way up to him.)
And you don't know what he did.
And why is he sending Ninjas in my pinball basement?
Deadpool kinda has that I was said, so you travel trough time to get that Dinosaurs and Megalodons DNA... but why, and why isn't that said.
One callout would be sufficient.
Like "ToTaN" the second you start the game:
"There was once a beautiful Princess, that was kept by the evil Genie whatshisname."
OH, I HAVE TO FREE THAT PRINCESSS!!! I HAVE TO BATTLE THAT GENIE and (aftzer 2 minutes of play) COLLECT THAT JEWELS TO DEFEAT HIM.
Same goes for Medival Madness, that doesn't need any explanation at all, a look at the playfield is sufficient. (A lot of other older games are that way.)
And back to Deadpool...
...you shoot Deadpool himself, and choose 1 fights for whatever reason in the display.
Wow.
No, srsly that's lackluster. Especially since it'd really be doable with minimum effort, a hand full of callouts, from Stern.
I had maximum hopes for Deadpool when they said they had an original story writer on board, but what has he written?!
A story it ain't. That (family friendly) callouts?
Srsly, that's how Deadpool dies for me, just wake a little story related motivation to make my way up to the final boss!

Quoted from DS_Nadine:

And yet in any comic or movie is a story/ red thread and not just people punching each other.

Quoted from DS_Nadine:

Yes.
But you brought Deadpool up, that it would fit to my description,... wich it doesn‘t.
And if we talk fighting games I talk the TMNT Sidescrollers... Since this is the TMNT thread. Wich had progression and small stories. Like Shredder robbing the Statue of Liberty for whatever reason.

Quoted from SkillShot:

I just hope we don’t get a repurposed Death Star as an exploding technodrome.

Quoted from Psw757:

I was hoping it was one of the rumored music titles, thought one of the usual correct predictors indicated this but maybe not.

Quoted from lpeters82:

Same here. Everything seemed like a winner, but the code would have to be at an acceptable state before I would take a chance.

Quoted from jorro:

I do think that a tmnt pinball should be announced in April!

Quoted from Rarehero:

But why is that fun in the context of pinball? You can’t see what the other person is doing or interact. You’d only know at the end of a game who “won”. Who cares? In an online racing game you see & interact with each other.
Why is it so hard to visualize that pinball is not a video game? Lol

Quoted from Rarehero:

What community? Small user base would make “online pinball play” relatively useless.
Are you really gonna watch a video of someone else’s playfield while you’re trying to play on your own? What would the purpose be? You won’t be doing the same synced things like a video game because pinball is random.

Quoted from Joe_Blasi:

lag, dropouts, can make for issues.

Quoted from Rarehero:

That would be horrible. Why would you want your machine to go dark to wait for someone somewhere else to do something? You could be playing your game.
Stop trying to force something horrible not compatible with pinball to be a pinball thing.

Quoted from Rarehero:

False equivalency. Hanging out with friends together is different than a machine doing nothing while people online do things.

Quoted from Rarehero:

I have enough imagination to know that your definition of “online pinball” sounds like a nightmare of boredom.
Also, when’s your P3 arriving?
Clearly you’re new and don’t understand pinball. Maybe you’ll understand and enjoy the game someday. Pinball is nothing like a video game & by its very nature cannot be as interactive & satisfying online like a video game is, nor will it ever have the userbase to make it worthwhile for pinball developers.
