IPs you'd like to possibly see turned into pinball games?

PinballGrump · Jan 19, 2016

Similar to the Ghostbusters pinball game which FarSight developed, what are some IPs that don't have their own pinball game (real or video game) that you'd like to see have an officially licensed one, possibly developed by FarSight?

*The Blues Brothers
*The Cannonball Run
*Jaws
*Reservoir Dogs
*Smokey and the Bandit
*The Warriors

TV shows / Web series
*Breaking Bad
*Doctor Who (an updated version featuring all 13 Doctors)
*Fist of the North Star
*Game Grumps
*Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors
*Red Dwarf
*Rick and Morty
*Ulysses 31

Video games
*Crazy Taxi
*The Elder Scrolls (could be specifically based off of Skyrim, Oblivion or Morrowind)
*Grand Theft Auto
*Mortal Kombat

Comics / web comics / Manga
*Archie
*Dragon Ball Z
*Penny Arcade
*Sam & Max

Bands
*The Beatles
*David Bowie
*Devo
*Funkadelic
*Judas Priest
*ZZ Top

Miscellaneous (brands, magazines, sports teams, etc.)
*85-86 Boston Celtics
*M.C. Escher

Any that are posted in this thread I'll add to the list.

I have always been surprised there were never Smokey & The Bandit or Blues Brothers pins made.

There needs to be a new Superman pin - there's only been one so far, and it's over 30 years old.

Way too many Marvel pins, not enough DC ones, in fact.

DC: One Superman, two Batman.
Marvel: Yikes

Interesting. A BvS table would be a good place to start. Predominately dark colors on one side, bright primary colors on the other. Doomsday in the middle.

There aren't any. I favor only original themes for new pinball games. There has been a severe shortage of these for about fifteen years now (give or take Pro Pinball). If we have a fifteen-year period with 90% of new pinball games being original themes, then I'll support new licensed tables.

Phantasm would be cool.

EldarOfSuburbia · Feb 1, 2016

ZZ Top.

mewzard · Feb 1, 2016

I'd like to see Mortal Kombat as a pinball table.

Ed Boon worked on Pinball Tables before MK, so it'd be a nice return to see him work on both as one (totally should throw in a hidden extra where Rudy from Funhouse starts arguing with Scorpion over something).

Back in pinball golden age, IP that I would have liked to see turned in pinball. Nowadays, it would be strictly impossible.

Films

- Tim Burton's (good) movies: Edward Scissorhands, Batman Returns, Beetlejuice

Video Games

- Metroid (there's a Metroid Prime Pinball game on DS, which is pretty good and fun)

Anime/Manga

Anime TV shows broadcasted in Europe in the 70's- 80's (impossible as it was totally unknown in US)

- Cobra Space Adventure
- Captain Harlock '78 or Captain Harlock '84
- Grendizer (Goldorak)

Bands

Pink Floyd
Queen

Awesome !
I'd add Captain Future to that great list. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBZkm_F4vAI

Oh boy, how could I forget this one?

For the 70s - 80s Anime TV Shows, there's so plenty of them that I just list the Top-3 I would have liked to see adapted in Pinball table.
I could add Ulysse 31 and Hokuto no Ken '84.

Venture Bros.
Attack on Titan
Gatchaman
The Last Airbender/Legend of Korra
Turbo (yes, the snail movie)
Buckaroo Banzai
Groo
Asterix
Tintin
Red Dwarf
Sealab 2021

... and for a game that is played with balls, Shimoneta seems like it would be the perfect theme

Metalzoic · Feb 2, 2016

Capcom's Ghouls'n Ghost'n Goblins series.

Hey, best title theme ever. I still own the vinyle.

Snorzel · Feb 2, 2016

Some really good ones in here. An original theme would be the most impressive I agree with invitro. Some ideas:

Army of Darkness
Princess Bride
Never Ending Story
Young Frankenstein

Pokemon
Dr. Seuss

Lonesome Dove
Xena
Mystery Science Theatre 3k

Alice in Madness
Tomb Raider
Red Dead Redemption
God of War

Queen
QOTSA
Deftones
Mars Volta
Smashing Pumpkins
Pixies

Classic Disney Animation
Warner Bros Animation
Woody the Woodpecker
Tom and Jerry

Those 80's European Animation ones would be perfect imo. New to most of the pinball market with a hardcore niche. Nice artwork and the music is on par with Black Knight 2000 and such

Zygaphorym · Feb 2, 2016

I never thought my first post here would be in a wild ideas thread like this. Anyway...

MOVIES:
MAD MAX: Fury Road

TV SHOWS/CARTOONS:
Adventure Time

GAMES:
Sid Meier's Civilization
Magic: The Gathering
Shovel Knight

MUSIC-RELATED:
Barenaked Ladies
Chiptune Music

Might update this post if I have more ideas.

EDIT: BAH! Completely forgot about Shovel Knight!
