I guess we don't have an all-around thread to predict the next big pinball announcements?
Surely we have one on the way very soon from Stern... last year around this time (May the 4th) they announced (or teased at) Mandalorian pinball, and that was the first of 2021 for them at the time. I forget that RUSH was actually announced at the very start of 2022. I am wishing they are sticking to a loose cycle of 3 pinballs a year - one announce around May (now), one in September, and one around Christmas / New Years.
I haven't been paying attention to any talk on the pinside.com forum as any speculation but here are my top predictions as of right now:
BACK TO THE FUTURE
THE FOO FIGHTERS
HARRY POTTER
JAMES BOND
LEGOS
THE MUPPETS
RAMONES
POKEMON
*(I am sure Jeff has something to say or add here)*
Also we all know that it is rumored that Jersey Jack has been working on TOY STORY pinball (nice, but we would never get that)
What do YOU think the next pinball announcement would be or what will make a GREAT next pinball, forum users??

I'm really not sure what to expect. I tried looking up a pinside thread on it but all I get is how bad the Foo Fighters are and everyone is boycotting Disney.

people are saying these things over at pinside from what I gather:
DAFT PUNK (seems to be the hot topic for today or something)
VENOM*
JUMANJI
JAWS
AVATAR
*I might have also heard a lil rumor about Venom at one time.
**can I also say I would not be too surprised at some sort of Superman / Wonderwoman / or Spider-Man or super hero pin in the same style as Batman 66 ? Where's it's got clips from old movies and shows and whatnot? Seems to work out very well for Godzilla, and The Munsters, and Batman 66, etc. etc.

I don't think that the next pinball machine will be a music related pin, but just to put it out there for the record, this is my top ten list of what the most likely music related pins would be:
1. FOO FIGHTERS
2. QUEEN
3. NIRVANA
4. RAMONES *my actual #1 pick
5. BLACK SABBATH
6. PINK FLOYD
7. EAGLES
8. MICHAEL JACKSON *a thriller theme could make for a good spooky pin
9. PRINCE
10. MISFITS *my #2 pick that they are maybe not likely to do, but hopefully at some point in my lifetime. I think would make a great halloween type pin and I don't think it is out of the question. maybe spooky pinball could do this.
(number 11 would be GREEN DAY)
*another side note, an Electric Light Orchestra pinball would also be perfect and would be my dream but I don't see that happening before the ones listed above are made.

We are now OFFICIALLY over one HALF A YEAR since Stern has announced (or even has given a teaser) for the next pinball, now OFFICIALLY the LONGEST TIME they have EVER GONE ... NOT ANNOUNCING A PINBALL!!!
Is pinball OVER??

Actually I just read an article that Stern is delaying the next game until August due to their current production backlogs. I guess if they're already so far backed up getting people their Godzillas, why release a new game on top of it all?

Well the next Pinball is here, TOY STORY 4, from Jersey Jack
I expect we're not as excited about it since it's from Jersey Jack.
From just this video it seems kind of a different game for JJ as the playfield is wide open and not jammed pack full of stuff like all their other pins. Looks like Pat Lawlor is the designer on this one. I just found TWIPY has a pretty good writeup on this. I'm also not sure if this pin only uses content from Toy Story 4, which I think would be weird as why wouldn't they take ideas from all the Toy Story movies to make one Toy Story pin?? I also see there is a popup ramp, kind of the idea of the slam ramp from Gofers. I'm also seeing that only the LE and CE versions are available to buy? and they are 12k and 15k?? No "pro" models???
Overall it's been rumored for quite some time that JJ was going to make a Toy Story pin. I wouldn't mind playing it but not something I would be adding to my list especially at a premium price.

It looks nice. I want to shoot a ball off the ramp that comes up, but I'm probably not good enough to get that far

yeah, everyone knew that Jersey Jack was going to announce TOY STORY pinball (you told me this 2 years ago Jeff).. but toy story FOUR?!?!? bahaha??? what?!? I have not even seen that movie!!!
I need an announcement from Stern to have my long time new pinball announcement itch scratched. I am losing interest in pinball it has been so long!!!
but Toy Story 4 looks jam packed with stuff enough for me for Jersey Jack. Just some trap doors and stuff in that playfield if it is too open.
using this Chrome book sucks !!!

Stern did announce their new pinball, you just can't see it on a chromebook I'm still looking everywhere using the tools I have and see no sign of any new pinball... if there is a new pinball someone needs to make a new thread for it!! |

Lol Brian is in canada and will never be able to get back into the US and the first teaser for the NEXT STERN PINBALL just dropped
I will have to say I'm not very excited about the theme on this next pin. I suppose some old man who owned all those moldy VHS tapes I sorted through a couple weeks ago would be ecstatic.
