[QUOTE="mmmagnetic, post: 10991, member: 558"] I recently stumbled across a video of a Super Mario Bros pinball by Gottlieb: [url]http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jhcHKNzb6CU[/url] Back when I was a kid I had both a huge crush on everything Nintendo AND a deep-seated interest in pinball, and thus would probably have had a screaming fit of joy if I had ever walked across this machine. Now, Twilight Zone was expensive, who knows if Addams Family will be feasible... The Simpsons pinball? That must be extremely costly as well. But a Mario-themed pinball with a Nintendo license? I don´t EVER see this happening. At all. Nintendo is famous for being very protective with their licenses. Every so often threads about "Why doesn´t Nintendo make a Mario game for iOS? They´d make MILLIONS!" pop up on message boards all across the internet, and one thing a lot of people seem to forget is that Nintendo wants you to sell you their hardware first and their games second. It seems that Nintendo used to be much more lenient with their licenses (the Mario movie really scarred me for life), but I don´t see this table ever coming to TPA. Which is a shame, just for the pure novelty factor of having a pinball made around the theme of one of the most recognizable videogame icons ever - that ultimately made home consoles come back big and destroyed the arcade market. And recently I´ve been playing so many Mario-themed games that I´ve gotten kinda sick of the whole series for a while, but still... the table looks super fun. I just don´t see Nintendo giving their OK to bring Mario to another platform, even if it´s sorta indirectly via a recreation of a pinball table. Are there any other pinball that are (almost) entirely unlikely to ever be licensed? [/QUOTE]
