Dear reader, before you dive into this news report, I have a few questions…
Were you aware that the star of Home Alone and The Good Son, Macaulay Culkin, loves ToeJam & Earl? And did you know the actor now runs a comedy website known as Bunny Ears?
Finally, could you have guessed that he would combine both of these passions as an Executive Producer on the upcoming ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove? It’s true, HumaNature Studios announced today that Culkin lent some of his comedic expertise to the development of the game:
Bunny Ears’s wry wit and penchant for satire provided crucial input to ensure the game is a hella good time. Growing up playing the original game on Sega Genesis, Culkin knew exactly what would – and wouldn’t – appeal to the thousands of Kickstarter backers that funded the sequel.
“I’m honored to be producing the new ToeJam & Earl because it is literally my favorite video game of all time,” Culkin said. Plus, Greg Johnson is the tits!”
“Macaulay Culkin is an Uber Fan of the ToeJam games,” said Greg Johnson, the founder of Humanature Studios. “He totally gets the vibe and humor of the new game, and his involvement has made the game even crazier and more fun.”
I’m not sure this isn’t just some elaborate joke, but fans can get a taste of the game’s vibe and humor with the new “Not A Musical” Trailer, which has been embedded above. ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove will be released for the PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One this Friday, March 1.
