My brother might like it....oh wait, C.M. Punk isn't featured - so, nah, even he won't care lol

I'm indifferent. Even if it was a theme I liked, I'm out of the NIB game due to the never ending code problems on previous releases. Thankfully, I won't even be remotely tempted..

Design looks interesting, though - I'd play it if it was on location.

From a sales perspective though - 400 LEs signed by Hulk Hogan? I think those will sell out quick to hardcore fans, like Master of Puppets sold quick to Metallica fans.

I wonder if we'll see the benefits of Spike on this release - such as a noticeable improvement in sound (Stereo?), or if this is the "transition game"...essentially a SAM game running on the new system.

3 Stooges, despite its ardent fans - is by and large culturally irrelevant. The flop of the recent Farrelly Bros. movie doesn't help matters. It just wouldn't sell. Ghostbusters is still very much relevant and would be a great theme, a great seller, and a great earner on location.

No they're not.

If you're expected to pay $5k-$8k for a pinball machine, F*CK YES theme matters. Only if a theme resonates with you are you going to spend that much on it. If it repulses you, you're definitely not going to want it! I purchased plenty of "shitty theme" games that are super duper fun...but they were ~$2k or less. WWE might be the funnest game of all time, but since it's not a theme I care about, I'd never buy one at it's "new" price.

BTW how have you never seen Spider-Man, even by accident at this point? Go watch Spider-Man 1 and 2 right now. Skip 3

Nothing!!! There never was a Jaws! Underlord suckered a bunch of you with his false sense of pull with some fictional Stern employee. You were punked.

Wow, forgot about that one....yeah man...Underlord is a fraud and should apologize to those who believed his "insider" information.

He was also an X-Men fan ....

...and that's OK. If we wanted every single new game we'd all be broke and out of space. It's OK to not like a theme.

Exactly. If none of us want to buy it but we all want to play it on location, this will be a winner on location. It's all good.
