PodcastAnalysis updated 2mo ago1 hr 16 min listenBy WAP
Welcome back to We Are Pinball! Special episode all about the themes from the recent Stern survey that was sent out haha. There are literally 100 themes! Probably. Do they all work in pinball? Heck no! Let's go through them!
Kineticist’s take
TL;DR
WAP hosts critique Stern survey themes: Pokemon/GTA/RoboCop as winners, sports/niche IPs as losers.
Synopsis
Don and Genghis from We Are Pinball review Stern's survey of ~75 potential pinball game themes, discussing commercial viability, home vs. location appeal, and designer fit for themes ranging from Pokemon and Grand Theft Auto to Nirvana, RoboCop, and Fast & Furious. They debate which IPs would work as pinball machines based on modern relevance, audience breadth, and gameplay potential.
