Quoted from ausretrogamer:I was thinking in line of manufacturers doing announcement (or at least support/allow their country distributor to do so) of their upcoming/new titles & reveals, just like at TPF & (the old) Pinball Expo.
We’ve had Jersey Jack come out here a few times, which is fantastic, but our events/expos feel amateurish in comparison.
I have attended numerous pinball events in many countries and I think that Australian Newcastle Pinfest is without doubt world best. Six years running and better every year.
There are manufacturers as well as distributors displaying new products at this event. Every brand including new ones are usually represented in some way. It doesn't need the actual manufacturer to attend and often there is a deal done where the local distributor 'flies the flag' for the actual manufacturer.
The upcoming event in Newcastle has Gary Stern as a keynote speaker among others. Surely that qualifies?
I can only assume you haven't been to it or you mean something else by your post?
