Ask Kaneda about Pinball Expo"All that did was really celebrate what was going on at the show. We didn't spoil anything. We didn't reveal a game that wasn't supposed to be revealed. We didn't ruin anyone's seminar moment."
"I knew it was a bogus reason because I was talking to a moto and all the other pinball content creators. We all did that because they didn't open the show up for media early. So we just went in and we walked around."
"Because think about it. How often do we actually get consumer reviews? Like real consumer reviews, not distributors reviewing the games, telling us everything is amazing, but real consumers jumping on a game and getting to play it and giving us their feedback before we have to send in those final checks for the game."
"But we do know now that this game is most likely gonna be at Pinball Expo, which is a good sign. Here's why I love the fact that this game is probably gonna be on the floor at Expo."
"But I wanna hear from pinheads out there who have no skin in the game, what the game is like."
"That game was revealed at Expo a year ago and that game's gonna finally start shipping."
"American pinball, this is going to be an interesting couple weeks for David Fix and American pinball because David Fix is behind pinball Expo, no Kaneda will not be there, but David Fix is one of the show organizers and this is basically like his show, so it's his moment and we know that AP has a big set up over at pinball Expo"
"David Fix is behind pinball Expo, no Kaneda will not be there, but David Fix is one of the show organizers and this is basically like his show, so it's his moment and we know that AP has a big set up over at pinball Expo"
"this is going to be an interesting couple weeks for David Fix and American pinball because David Fix is behind pinball Expo... so it's his moment"
"I mean this game has been out for over a year, it was at last year's Pinball Expo, what's the deal, how can a game like this have demand for a year and a half, two years?"
"I think this is a golden opportunity for American pinball to finally show us the Dennis Nordman game, what they've got going on"
"But imagine that you have a black tie poker party held by Stern pinball to celebrate the launch of James Bond. And here's where it gets awesome. I would make just for that charity event. I would make a one of one special version of George Gomez's game."
"I would have a special event at pinball Expo. You're in this nice hotel. I would have a poker tournament. Allah James Bond."
"So pinball Expo is coming up in a few weeks in October, right? That is in Stern's backyard. Their new game is James Bond. Here's what Kaneda would do if Kaneda was working over at Stern pinball."
"For those of you going to Pinball Expo and your fans of Kaneda's Pinball Podcast, a little bit of bad news. I won't be going to the show this year. So that's that. I'm not really gonna talk a lot about that. I'm just trying to make sure everyone has a good time. And you know, Kanedas got his fans, Kanedas got his haters, and everyone is holding on to a lot of anger."
"I do think they are most likely going to reveal this game at Pinball Expo October something like 19th through the 23rd in Chicago. So that is only three weeks away. So we will see, like will David Fix bring this game to Expo and steal the show?"
"I'm not really gonna talk a lot about that. I'm just trying to make sure everyone has a good time. And you know, Kanedas got his fans, Kanedas got his haters, and everyone is holding on to a lot of anger."
"Because if you think about Expo right now, I don't think we're gonna see James Bond. We'll see Cactus Canyon, but people are not gonna care. Guess why? Because Cactus Canyon was there last year."
"So does that mean we will see it at pinball expo at the end of October? Or does it mean it's a little bit delayed?"
"Trust me, it is a Friday, Saturday, Get Outta Town on Sunday show."
"If you go to Pinball Expo, mark my words. Don't get there too early. I know there is now a factory tour for Jersey Jack on Thursday. Stern is doing a virtual tour, which is not that fun because you can watch it from the internet."
"Every time people arrive for Pinball Expo, like on Tuesday or Wednesday, by Friday, you should see the look on these people's faces. They are bored. They are exhausted. They look like zombies and there's nothing to do."
"It is Chicago. There are great arcades there, but trust me, the hotel is nowhere near anything. It's not in walking distance to anything and you're not going to want to be there for like four or five days."
"I think David fix as an organizer of pinball expo like this is his show I think he's just looking for more reasons why you should come to expo like they are using this as an Attraction like if you come to pinball expo you can play a working Magic Girl"
"like if you come to pinball expo you can play a working Magic Girl Which is like okay like you could swim with the mythological Moby Dick of pinball It's known as Magic Girl and you know what on that front I think it's a great sideshow attraction to bring to a pinball show"
"Who knows maybe he is crazy enough to actually see if the demand for this game is pretty high at the show and then Put this thing into production"
"I can't wait to play this game at pinball expo... I think David fix as an organizer of pinball expo like this is his show I think he's just looking for more reasons why you should come to expo like they are using this as an attraction"
"I think it's a great sideshow attraction to bring to a pinball show because that's what Magic Girl is That's what Magic Girl will always be in anyone's collection a sideshow attraction"
"I just think they should have put out this announcement that this game was going to be at expo Come by and enjoy it Don't say it's coming on behalf of American pinball because now you've got the Dingleberries all wondering if American pinball is actually gonna rerun this game"
"I can't wait to play this game at pinball expo"
"It's about to be one year since they unveiled this game at Pinball Expo and people still do not have their games."
"It's about to get really embarrassing. It's about to be one year since they unveiled this game at Pinball Expo and people still do not have their games."
"And then it leads us to believe that Expo will be the moment in which they pull the curtain off the machine, which makes total sense because David Fix is one of the organizers of pinball Expo."
"I'm going to change my prediction. You will see the game by pinball expo and you won't even get it before T.P.F."
"You will see the game by pinball expo and you won't even get it before T.P.F. That's Kaneda's prediction."
"I don't think they're going to be able to stay on schedule and get the game on the line by expo. But here's the thing. Maybe I should take that back. Here's what I think they're going to do. I bet you they show us the game at expo, but it's not ready for the line."
"I bet they show you the game at expo. I bet they take orders and then you're going to wait months for production to start because that's the new trend in pinball, right?"
"Two years ago at pinball Expo, I said, get ready. That was more for me than anyone else because of how nervous I felt being on the same stage as all those pinball luminaries that were there, all those games sold and games designed. Here I am with nothing out there just hopefully representing as well as I could."
"I saw many of you down in Chicago or down over in Chicago for Pinball Expo and that was a lot of fun, but I fully expect TPF to be even more fun than Expo because the facilities and the embassy suites is a lot more better situated than the pinball expo destination because at Expo you couldn't go anywhere, like everything was just in the hotel."
"If you ordered this game way back at pinball expo in October, you've been waiting for the paint to dry. You've been waiting for a CGC to get this game out the door."
"So why did they reveal it so early? Really strange."
"You're going to spend tens of thousands of dollars to fly to Texas to what? To just get padded on the back, shake hands, kiss babies, and take credit for your great bill quality. But you shouldn't do that."
"You know, I went into the thread and we're still deconstructing Ryan White's abysmal launch of this game at Pinball Expo. Where's the game?"
"We waited three years for Cactus Canyon remake. They bring it into Pinball Expo, arguably the worst launch of a game ever. And then the games aren't even on the line."
"And even though we had to miss it because of COVID, everybody still considers it the best pinball show in the world. Jeff and Kim, I don't know what you guys are drinking over there, but wake up."
"I think that was a huge mistake because you could still have a favorite show even if it doesn't happen every year. And I think the fact that the award show is going to be at TPF and you didn't put them into this drop down category is a humongous mistake."
"The optics of leaving TPF off of this is absolutely asinine. And so now I have to vote for something else. And so I put Chicago Pinball Expo because I went to it and it was fun. It's nowhere near as good as TPF, but I couldn't vote for TPF."
"Now, what did I think of Pinball Expo as a show itself? Well first and foremost I want to thank David Fix and Rob Burke for putting the show together, they were at the show, I was able to say hi to them"
"I would get to the next show you can, maybe it's fantastic up in Boston which is in just a couple of weeks, maybe it's T-P-F, but this really is where the magic is, I can't even emphasize this enough"
"Well first and foremost I want to thank David Fix and Rob Burke for putting the show together, they were at the show, I was able to say hi to them"
