Quoted from MrBubbles:Also hoping it's a widebody that's loaded. Wonka felt stripped down with weak toys.
Pretty sure Pat convinced JJP to go narrow body only, which is a mistake. Can he retire already?

Quoted from PtownPin:He did a nice job with Wonka....that game is fun and addicting ..... although I agree that JJP wide bodies are great
JJP Wonka was a failure of imagination, which was ironic in a property about imagination. Is it okay? Yes. Is it much less than it should have been? For sure. Very excited about Eric's next pin, but pissed it was supposedly forced into a narrow body.
Quoted from Pinzzz:I think POTC JJP, was the last modern day Widebody we’ll see.
I hope not, but if that is to be the last one, at least it was a high water mark...
Quoted from zaphX:I don't own them all but can absolutely confirm the addictive nature of Wonka.
Pinside did it's usual dogpile thing about the Wonka code, but it is very well structured for longevity and reward.
My problem is Wonka is so much less than it should have been. Its unmet potential is laid bare when compared to an all-out extravaganza like jjPotC. Night and day.
Quoted from Tranquilize:. Jjp would surpass Stern without Lawler.. what games did he ever make anyway? No one plays them... He's never made a widebody either. What a loser cunt.
Just to be clear Lawlor has made widebodies and he supposedly calls them a mistake (I would agree on RoadShow, I would not agree on Twilight Zone). Not sure where the sarcasm ended in that post and wanted to make it clear that he HAS done them...a very long time ago.
Quoted from PtownPin:Listen everyone has an opinion, but have u spent much time on that machine? Its incredibly fun, great flow, very deep code, and addicting game play. Don't get me wrong I love POTC, and think its JJP's best game, but Wonka isn't far behind. They are very different machines so it pretty hard to compare.
I have spent quite a bit of time on it, and I'm not disputing what you're saying, just that it's a very low-imagination retread of old design ideas in a game that should have had mindblowing toys. It didn't live up to its potential as a Wonka.
Quoted from Shredso:Little Orphan Annie with a Slash top hat? I don't get it.
Meditate on it.
Quoted from Shredso:Post it again today and it will make sense. Sort of. Nobody said October 1st, just October.
No, it made sense yesterday, you just didn't know it yet. Today is the start of info.

Quoted from Bwilson:This is the head scratcher for me. JJP is family oriented.... when did Jack start playing with Mr. Brownstone or visiting my Michelle on the weekends...???
Get in the ring?? MultiBall
Or, better yet, There Was a Time?
But pretty sure JJP is changing, and ridiculous narrow-body pivot aside, that's not necessarily all bad.
