KILLIAN'S BIRTHDAY Good morning everybody, welcome to the world's most talked about pinball podcast, Kaneda's Pinball Podcast. Happy to be here. Killian's 4th birthday today. We've had so much fun. Thank you so much Hector for the paw patrol inflatable chase. He's been playing with this big pup truck toys. It's amazing for $100. You can blow a kid's mind and we spend $2000 on flat toppers that upset us. Think about that for What's going on in the pinball world everybody? We're gonna go around the horn. We're gonna talk about these companies But before I do that I want to issue a bet Because my good friend Jason Knapp said he is willing to take bets that the walking dead is Coming out this fall now. Look I said it's confirmed that it's not coming out, you know Kaneda I use the word confirmed very loosely TinRel識ążérêtanchores The Week in Pinball, Johnny Pneumonicbrance, Black Water, Kaneda's Pinball Podcast, Twippies Awards, transliteelectronicoru Of Gentlemen læ The Last Name James G. I gotta protect all of you, right? Cuz you know how the Kaneda haters are, man. I mean, first of all, thank you so much, everybody that's been sharing all of this stuff that's been said about me. I don't watch it or pay attention to it. I think it's awesome. People always fall victim to the greatest Kaneda strategy in the history of marketing. Make them talk about you. Make them, you know, make you the enemy. Make them say, The Week in Pinball, Johnny Pneumonic, Black Water, Kaneda's Pinball Podcast, Twippies Awards, transliteregonate FEDERIC PINBALL, TEN TIMES WORSE OF MYSELF, AND I DON'T REALLY CARE. ALL I CARE ABOUT IS MY FAMILY, HEALTH, HAPPINESS AND HAVING A GOOD TIME IN PINBALL.SO KEEP IT COMING.IT JUST KEEPS MORE PEOPLE COMING THROUGH THE DOOR.IT'S AWESOME.THEY FALL VICTIM TO THE BAIT EVERY SINGLE TIME. King Kong is going to be amazing and it's because of two things Keith Elwin and then it's because of his team over at Stern but James writes Kaneda King Kong is going to be a major hit for the same reasons that Godzilla was and still is by the way you are not paying attention to the emails I'm sending you Godzilla is undoubtedly the best-selling stern machine and is still selling right now better than any other stern machine well James I wish you could prove that. I wish that we got total numbers released at the end of each year for what Sternpinball moved against each skew. Wouldn't it be great if we just knew they sold this many Metallicas, ACDCs, Star Wars, Godzillas, nobody knows. We know they sold no John Wicks. They're not selling many Venoms. When it comes to a game like D&D, you know, oh, it's selling really well. It's selling like Patrick So just think about that for a minute. King Kong is going to be $3,000 more than freaking Godzilla was. Do you think it's going to have $3,000 more in it when it comes to mechs, bomb and toys and everything? I don't know. So he goes on to write, no theme song for King Kong. Maybe, but it's well known famous fact that King Kong is the very first movie in history to have an original soundtrack. I'm going to play a little bit of the first movie, King Kong, and I'm going to play a little bit of the first movie. So, the first movie is King Kong, the original soundtrack. Did any of you know that? I don't think anybody knows that. And my second point, James, is nobody cares. Oh man, guys, what was the first movie to have an original soundtrack? King Kong doesn always die I said that he dies in every movie right He goes up the building he gets shot he falls and he dies Now last time I checked those were the King Kong movies I grew up with I know in the newer ones he doesn die James goes on to say he dies in the original and the Peter Jackson remake He also died in the 1970s one when he climbs the Twin Towers which was what James said here He dies in the 70s remake as well but he comes back The King Kong lives Yeah, I remember that remember that they gave him like a heart transplant That was like the weirdest King Kong movie ever I hope this Stern game is based only on that one like you have to give Kong a new Mechanical heart and bring him back to life just so he can die all over again He then writes other than that he lives in all other Appearances well, I'm happy Kong The end of the movie, don't they show like the atomic material reforming to create the next Godzilla? Godzilla 1988 Godzilla, Godzilla versus mega glorious. I don't know the return of Godzilla. There are several others in which Godzilla dies and they bring him back to life. Alright, I get it, I get it, I get it. Endpoint number four, Godzilla isn't popular because it's campy. He is popular in spite of Godzilla being campy because the fans, like myself, watched it as kids and didn't see it as campy. Most Godzilla fans like the latter more serious versions better than the earlier campy Godzilla. Alright, so James, thank you for Thank you for writing this in. And as I go through all this, I think the main point you're making is that King Kong can be great as a pin because King Kong doesn't always die and King Kong doesn't need to be campy to be a fun pin. And look, I see it, right? Like Jurassic Park isn't really a campy movie. Like it would scare the bejesus out of little kids if they watch Jurassic Park, but it's got a lot of comic relief. And that's the thing about King Kong. When you think about it, I feel like Please like and subscribe. Houston The game is going to be well implemented and executed incredibly well. I think they are going to have some modes in King Kong where the game becomes a throwback to some of those original King Kong movies. I think the game is going to have a black and white throwback mode in which we see the The original Kong at the top of the Empire State Building, you know, swatting at the airplanes. I think that's going to be in this game. Alla the way you can play Jaws Revenge and it's a whole different game. I think they might do something like that. I think they are very creative, this team. When I look at Jaws and everything they've done and I look at what's in Godzilla, it is almost impossible not to get super excited about what's going to be in King Kong. This game is coming out within four months. That is so exciting. The prices are not going to be exciting. This is also going to be the reveal of what Stern Pinball is going to bring out with Spike3. I've spoken to people at Stern Spike3 is going to be an enhancement more than just computing power. We're going to see better light shows. We're going to see some more stuff. And I think if we think about Spike3 like Intel inside, it's going to be the best Stern offering and platform to date.

The LEs sold out instantly at $13,000 and people who bought them right away who had FOMO that missed out right away. And this game just came out. They paid $17,000 to $18,000. Now you can go get a Metallica Remastered LE for $13,400 and it's still available. And right next to that $13,400 Metallica everybody are like four or five other versions of the game or other people selling the game for like $13,400. The game is over. Now think about it. Imagine if Stern had made 1000 Metallica Remastered LE which is what people were crying about. I don't know, right? In just a few months with only 500, a game that's incredible, it's sliding down. And look, you still made a little bit of money, but it's going to keep going down. And that's just the state of pinball.

They're going to hold units back. And then all of a sudden, voila, they become available again. A thousand at $15,000. Not rare, way overpriced. A thousand sterns with a topper now at $14,000 to $15,000. A stern with a topper that is mass produced. Just wait. All things becoming so easy to get as I look at these D&D LE owners, I'm like guys, I get it, but look at the D&D sort of vibe around the game, right? It's already sort of wearing a little thin, even though most of us have never played it. You know what I'm saying? Like the enthusiasm, like I get what you did over there. It's really unique. I think D&D fanatics will like it, but it doesn't feel like the game that's just, ah, yeah, can't wait to get my hands on it. I can't wait to save my progress and see which dungeon I'm in and then wake up next Sunday and have no damn clue which way I'm going. That doesn't sound like pinball to me. I think everybody's waiting for Potter and Kong. And in between we're gonna get Cuphead, we're gonna get the new game from Barrels of Fun, we're gonna get a new Tales of the Arabian Nights, we're gonna get Medieval Madness remake, all this just coming out on top of each other over the next six months. We're also going to get Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. It's funny to me. You know, everyone's like, oh man, Kenaid is talking about Raza. He's talking about how many they're going to maybe make. He's talking about this screen and people are running to Dutch pinball. Kenaid is talking. Kenaid, you guys are out of your minds. Who the heck can't put one and one together to equal two? Melvin has acquired all of the games. He has all of it. Why do you think it's a surprise that he would bring Raza to market next? If you want to make a bet, Jason Knapp, The Same way a lot of people are like I don't understand like the codes off that deep the people who are buying these games Don't care about deep code because if you did you wouldn't buy these games The only reason people bought these games They just want something different and they might like women with big Tatas, I mean that's really it you don't even get like the sexy Alice The Week in Pinball, Johnny Pneumonicbrance, Black Water, Kaneda's Pinball Podcast, Twippies Awards, transliteelectronic The way they are making all 500 this year, I think they might make like 400 this year or 450 and by that time then everybody at the end of the line is going to be in the driver's seat because you'll be able to get a refund and maybe go buy it for less than it is new or you might just want to go through with your purchase and that's great. Now speaking of Dutch Pinball X, what's with this photo from Christopher Franchi?

What's already in this game? And what I love about Evil Dead again going to the thread. The Vibe. The Excitement. The discussion around what actually in the game. The discussion around the mode that are super creative. The discussion around the multiball that are awesome and feels rewarding. The discussion around the Art. The discussion around what's to come. The theme integration, you're just not seeing that in avatar. And look, I know JerseyJack is going to sell more avatar CEs and LEs, but man, I really feel for you guys because once Potter comes out, you're basically going to be holding on to the biggest sinking asset in a long time in pinball. I mean it. And I look, I'm not telling you, and this is what makes me so it pains me because I know if you're loving your avatar game right now, let's just say you bought your CE for 15,000 and you're and you're loving it. What if I told you you could love it just as much in six months and get that game for $10,000? Why would you choose option A? That's just where we're at in pinball, everybody. All right, so we've got avatar CEs. Once they get made, we're going to get Harry Potter sometime April, May. I know that Jersey Jack wants to get Potter out before Kong. I just don't think they're going to. I feel like they're going to wait The Week in Pinball, Johnny Pneumonic, Black Water, Kaneda's Pinball Podcast, Twippies Awards, translite�a ramp shot type in pinball eyebrartwork panel in backbox that is backlit during play warriartwork panel in backbox that is backlit during playissippi All in all, when we look at what's about to drop, we've got a few weeks to get there. Kenaid is going to keep you entertained. Don't worry. I've got my hernia surgery in two days. That's not going to stop me. People making fun of me is not going to stop me. I love it. I actually love it all. And for those of you out there, I really want to thank a couple of people. I want to thank Ed Ed Robertson for sending me one of the nicest notes I've received in a long time. Ed, I can't tell you how much talking to you. And we I don't do it all the time, but I just love how thoughtful Ed is and how caring he is and what a great heart he has. And he also says something really nice about Electric Bat and how Kale's podcast gives a really interesting perspective on pinball. And I 100% agree with that. He's talking about this hobby through the lens of an operator. And that's interesting. I talk about this hobby in a different way The Week in Pinball, Johnny Pneumonic, Black Water, Twippies Awards, translite All right, so I want to thank you Ed for that kind note. I also want to thank Grant who works at Jersey Jack and he did the music and the sound for Avatar and he's like Chris you got to remember you know a lot of us put in a lot of hard work and he's like I understand exactly how you feel when you feel like you put in so much effort and you know it doesn't always get appreciated and The Week in Pinball, Johnny Pneumonic, Black Water, Kaneda's Pinball Podcast, Twippies Awards, transliteelectronic The Never get an award they never get accolades or appreciation now that being said grant Yeah guys got to put toys in these things like a come on man like you guys work over there I get you're doing the sound and and you know Keith wants to make this like diner menu rule set Everyone's got to get into a room before you put in all that effort and be like it's really easy gang All of these are the main things that we are trying to make a masterpiece pinball machine if we just do the following things. I'm not going to say what they are right now. Let's not overbake the code. Let's not have like the same sort of sterile multiballs happening all throughout the game. Let's theme integrate. Let's sync up the voices with the clips. It's all there. It's all there. You just got to put it together in the right way. All right, everybody, Brenda is behind me. You know what I loved about everything this week is everyone was saying that Brenda is the real king of the household. Brenda is the smart one. Brenda's got three babies she's got to deal with. She knows all of this. She's telling me to get up. She's got a call in five minutes, and she needs to put her other baby in another room. His name is Kaneda. And everybody, thank you so much. We're going to keep rocking and rolling. I love it. Have a great day. Watch version on Atari distractive, visit any of months J Emma
