NO INTEREST in TMNT's theme for me personally as it is a kiddie cartoon that I didn't grow up with and have no emotional connection with as a result. In fact, I can't recall a new Stern game that I have paid less attention to (although Stranger Things comes close). On top of that, due to COVID, I've had no opportunity to see in person or play it which doesn't help either.

That said, I understand that other pinheads did grow up with TMNT and are excited about it. It's all good, and to each their own.

Quoted from NPO:

Because AIQ, or GNRJJP, or LZ, or AlienPB, or whatever game after it came out.
This is typical Pinside behavior. Hype a game like a bunch of circle jerks, and then as soon as the next game is even mentioned, dump that previous sucker.
No need to sugarcoat it: it truly is that simple as straight forward an answer.

Also known as "Yesterday's News" syndrome

Quoted from Rarehero:

Because it’s a $6000-$10,000 toy. At that price, you represent the nostalgia in the best way possible. It used to be cool when licensed pinballs were prestige projects & people from the license were involved. The cast of STTNG in STTNG, Arnold in T2/T3, JK Simmons in Spider-Man, Gary Oldman in Dracula, Seth MacFarlane in FGY, Simpsons cast in TSPP, Elvira in...Elvira lol. If I’m expected to pay so much for a theme I love, I have expectations that need to be met, or I’m buying something else (or nothing).

Damn straight. One of the reasons I love Stern's Sopranos game is the actual cast recorded callouts in it.
