All I know is whenever BTTF LE / CE / SE / Remake comes out they must use some type of levitating magnet feature for the hover board / Delorean.
The backglass can have a small portion of the artwork dedicated to the interior dash of the Deloreon which would change dates / times and keep score using numeric display. Bottom would be the newer LCD.
It also needs to have heavy focus on 1985 / 1955 as the main playfield. This can be achieved by having under the playfiled rotating slides / inserts.
Skateboard / pinball gets attached to a pickup / drags you somewhere else on the playfield. (power of love playing) During enchantment under the sea chuck berry Johnny B Goode starts playing during hurry up mode picture on the LCD starts to fade, you need to hit the shots / strings on the guitar to save your future.
Flames on the playfield can easily be achieved when you hit outter loops 88mph and takes you back to the future... also lighting with LEDS
Escape from the libyian's mode
Call out quotes galore
Save Einstein mode
Save Jennifer mode
Lower Playfield 1885, western shootout , tombstone frisbee, rescue clara train etc..
Upper Playfield 2015 floating Deloreon, Biff light up hotel, flying hover board, get the sports almanac back

Different MANIAC but I like that show as well. I was referring to the slasher flick remake.

Quoted from DS_Nadine:

Ok, that is not what I meant, but I wasn't very specific I guess.
I just mean rulewise. How do you build a pinball ruleset/ story/ progression regarding BTTF, if you want it to be MORE then some random modes.
BTTF 1 is way diffferent than 2 & 3, most of the main storyline -so not the getting back in time thing- is a pretty slow endeavour.

When do they usually make the announcement?

Then Chuck Close came in on his wheelchair and was rip shit he couldn’t traverse the store due to the moleskin mess

I used to work near his studio, always wanted to see him but never did.

Quoted from BasementFacts:

So since it's a Kapow title, is it more likely we'll get a good license treatment? Movie clips? Audio clips? I wonder if that's one of his requirements when he signs on? I suppose I'm fine with Mayor Goldie doing call-outs.

Quoted from mpdpvdpin:

Are you just assuming it’s Kapow?

Quoted from RA77:Code name
Van Halen ?

Quoted from Guinnesstime:

I hope Van Halen’s code name is Van Halen.

Quoted from snowy_owl:

Or it'll just be expensive because of the license.

Quoted from onemilemore:

Man I've been on such a hard VH kick since Eddie passed. Please just give me a pin that covers self-titled through 1984 and I will pay a lot of money.

Quoted from mpdpvdpin:

I once met Elijah Wood while I was working at an Art Supply Store in the Bowery. He was fresh off of LOTR success and he came in all coked out with two very greasy girls on his arm. He was extra rude to my coworker so he went into the office and picked up the intercom and just kept saying “paging my preeeecious...my preeeecious” in the Golem voice, naturally. Well...Wood got so pissed off the he kicked over a rack of moleskin notebooks and stormed out the front door leaving the cocaine twins behind. Then Chuck Close came in on his wheelchair and was rip shit he couldn’t traverse the store due to the moleskin mess. True story. The end. ( Oh, and Elijah Wood was great in the MANIAC remake )

Quoted from PBFan:

I have to ask, “why do so many pinsiders drool over BTTF as a theme”? I loved the movies and think it would be a good theme with lots of potential. I am just not sure I understand the absolute love fest. What is it that is driving this that so many people would put an LE deposit down sight unseen based solely on Theme? Was this series of movie(s) popular overseas or is this just a North American thing?

Quoted from Pin_Fandango:

let me guess, are you in your early - mid 20s? lol or younger?
you missed out on one of the best trilogies ever made, we are talking special FX cool for the era, really likeable characters and just a very fun storyline.

Quoted from PBFan:

Actually I worked at a movie theatre as a projectionist in 1985 when it came out. It was an awesome movie which I still quite enjoy. And I think the 80s was the best decade but I still don’t get the over-the-top love for the theme as it relates to pinball.

Quoted from SLCpunk2113:

I think part of the want for BTTF comes from the fact that there was a Data East one that isn’t widely available and also not that great of a game. If you play the DE version you can see the potential for a great pin and I think that’s what people are hoping for.

Quoted from FalconDriver:

Look how many AIQ LEs flooded the market after the buy first play later routine. It will happen again with BTTF I'm sure.
Just another nostalgic thing like Ghostbusters was in the 80s. Shitty material coming out of Hollywood anymore so why not go Back in Time and relive those special themes many around here grew up with.

not sure that is a good indicator. AIQ is an incredible game.
