I liked this vid. This felt like they were doing a Nintendo Direct but with their shitposter styler of humor. It really feels like dunkey and Leah have found a good balance between coming off like a serious business, while still appealing to their existing community that follows Jason's channel for his unique style of humor.

That's an AI generated guy actually. In reality dunkey is an old black woman.

I’m excited to see what becomes of these games and this publishing company and I hope Dunk doesn’t lose that magic his fanbase likes. On a personal aside, I’m kind of over pixel graphics games. They don’t ring much nostalgia for me and I find a cutesy artstyle is more my speed
