Ask Kaneda about Williams"nobody's making better mechanisms in 2025 than BLE Williams did in 1995 you gotta remember that okay because they knew who their audience was they knew and they delivered"
Williams 1995 mechanisms are still better than anything made in 2025
"I bet they would sell more Cirqus Voltaire's remade than they did of the original run of Cirqus Voltaire. If they ever remake Tales of the Arabian Nights and put new code in it, I will buy one right away."
Williams/BLE remake potential is enormous and would outsell originals
"the BLE Williams gods, like the icons of the BLE Williams era, they have all I believe sort of swung and missed over the last few years... It's like all these icons from back in the day and they're getting best at by Keith Elwin, by Eric Meunier, by Scott Danesi."
Williams era designers are being outperformed by newer talent
"These designers over at BLE Williams did not make the engineers rock stars. The engineers made these guys the rock stars. And that is the truth"
Williams/BLE engineers were the real talent behind famous designers, not the other way around
"I would tell people, you know what, play a Williams game from the 90s or look at a Williams game from the 90s, like a 20 year old machine. And look at a stir machine that's been played for a year or two in compared to playfields. And honestly, the Williams machines that were 20 years old, sitting next to a stir machine that was a few years or nothing wrong with the stir machines, it's just the Williams machines were made really well"
Williams machines from 90s were built better than early 2000s Stern games
"I do not see those titles coming down dramatically to be honest with you. I really don't. I mean, obviously they're not making any more of them. It was back in a time when they had huge budgets to dump into these games, to come up with all these really cool custom mechanisms that were really still not seeing in some games today. It was from a Renaissance period"
Williams/BLE era games will hold their value due to Renaissance-era quality
