Hardy LIVE! Walking around Texas Pinball Festival

Live Texas Texas Pinball Festival coverage with Dennis Norman interview and Chris Turner discussing IP licensing impact on sales.

Synopsis

Cary Hardy streams live from Texas Texas Pinball Festival 2026, walking the showroom floor and interviewing key figures including designer Dennis Norman about Yukon Yeti. The stream covers manufacturer booths (Stern, Jersey Jack, Spooky, American Pinball, Barrels of Fun, Multimorphic), game availability (Beetlejuice sold out pre-show, Cirqus Voltaire announced at 500-1000 unit production), and community sentiment around recent releases. Chris Turner (likely Spooky Pinball) discusses how licensed IP (Yukon Yeti) drives sales differently than unlicensed games, noting the necessity of licenses for business viability despite preferring creative original themes.
