Official table / theme idea suggestion thread

[Dorktron2000]

A Japan table. It could draw from Samurai missions, geishas, castles, famous Japanese monsters like tengu (a long nosed demon), shrines, fairytales/folklore, Mt Fuji... I'd love to see cherry blossoms blooming on a pinball table.

A table that changes seasons as you play... Set it in a world where time doesn't run right and must be fixed. Certain missions are linked to each season.

Both of those would be amazing.

New view

My suggestion would be a new view: a top view with a vertical scrolling (like Pinball Dreams/Fantasies) as I'd love to play this way. It would be an important addition, and not so difficult to do.

Pinball fantasies was the great game back in the days but please don't bring back the retro physics of the 90's pinball games
Pinball is not played with air filled balloons.

Supaplex

Oh yea, and we need a supaplex table (or at least boulderdash)

KISS!!

Ok, I'm obviously biased, but do remember that they were one of the first (if not the first) bands to have an actual pinball machine back in the 70s so it's not a total stretch.

When I look at some of the Marvel tables, I could totally envision a table with the band members on the table doing things that could either be performance related or character related. Maybe the real band members could even provide the voices for their virtual selves.

Plus, KISS has thousands of licensed products that doing such a table would likely not get hung up with that sort of complications that can arise with other franchises. Oh a KISS fan can dream, can't he?

To Boldly go...

Don't know if it's been mentioned and if it hasn't I would be very surprised. But what about a Star Trek themed table? There's a franchise screaming for some pinball! Heck, you could do a table for each incarnation. What are there 5 different shows? The pinball could be a photon torpedo you have to hit klingons, romulans, borg, or whatever with. You could even do villian tables where your mission is to take out the enterprise LOL! Great idea, and I know some Trekkers who would *%[email protected] themselves to get their hands on them.

After some thought, I am really hoping one of Zen's mysterious partners is Capcom. We could get an Okami table (that would be sublime), Mega Man (again, awesome), Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, Ghosts N' Goblins, newer Street Fighter or Darkstalkers. They have some awesome properties that would translate well as pinball tables. I know it wouldn't be a completely new partner since we already have a SF table, but more properties from Capcom would be great.

Congrats and thx for all the cool tables so far, keep up the good work.My only request, beyond the recent and more kid friendly themed tables like Plants vs. Zombies, Epic Quest and the Marvel tables(which are all fine), is to throw in a few tables that are a bit more edgy and perhaps more adult oriented in their design.But as said, keep on rockin!

D.C. Comics

Would Zen Studios ever consider doing a D.C Pinball (ala Marvel Pinball). Superman, batman, wonderwoman, the Flash, a justice league table, brightest day, darkest night. These could all be pretty cool tables.

Doubt it, since they have a contract with Marvel. The contract most likely includes a no compete clause. It's the same for other game companies that are publishing/developing Marvel games.

Not likely, but our next license is pretty rad, I can't wait for you guys to see what it is!

Stop it! lol

I'm hesitant to add yet more licensed ideas to the list but I must give Godzilla a shout. You could have the Big G battle his various foes like King Ghidorah and Mechagodzilla and have him stomp various cities around the world. Another table that would make me weak at the knees would be Pac-man. I can picture a table based on the original looking really cool with the rails/ramps/bumbers looking like the neon blue maze. Perhaps a mode where you have to collect enough pills to turn the ball into a powerpill which in turn can destroy the 4 ghosts.

A couple of non-licensed tables I'd like to see have already been mentioned several times, Western and Sports. You can have all kinds of themes for a Western table, a gold mine, rustling, railroads, cowboys vs indians, sheriff, saloon. A Sports pack would be great. A soccer table for universal appeal, football or baseball for American fans and maybe the other 2 tables a bit more left-field for a different colour palette and machanics. Darts, horse racing, 10-pin bowling, athletics etc.

Farsight currently holds the Star Trek license and the table should be releasing sometime in January for The Pinball Arcade (TPA).
