Summary

King Kong hailed as Stern masterpiece; Dune overshadowed; JJP's HP announcement criticized as major marketing failure.

Poor Man's Pinball podcast host Albert Agar delivers passionate first impressions of King Kong (Keith Elwin/Stern) and Dune (Barrels of Fun), both announced simultaneously. He ranks King Kong top five features: art package, mini playfield with sweepable drops, layout complexity, flow balance, and wire forms: calling it potentially Stern's greatest achievement. He also criticizes Jersey Jack Pinball lackluster Harry Potter announcement, arguing it cost them $2-4 million (or potentially $14-18M per ChatGPT analysis) in lost sales momentum.
