Yacht Club Games has announced that Mina the Hollower has gone gold, meaning development has wrapped up on the anticipated retro-styled 2D action-adventure game. After numerous delays, the release date is still unknown, but Yacht Club promises that we’ll know as soon as possible. The indie studio is now in the process of submitting the final version of the game to first-party partners, which includes Nintendo for a release on Switch and Switch 2. Only a few Switch 2 titles so far have taken advantage of the new system’s 120hz capabilities, and Mina the Hollower is confirmed to feature 120fps support, as shown by the demo released last year, which has since been unlisted from the eShop.
Yacht Club Games reveals Mina the Hollower has gone gold
I was super excited for this game when it was announced. I then played the demo and was disappointed it felt more like classic Castlevania than 2D Zelda. I was kinda hoping for a pseudo open-world 2D Zelda game with some Souls-like influence.
Also the dig-jump mechanic felt really awkward being on a timer. I hope they at least changed that to where the player can jump out early. It’s just not ideal for that kind of platforming.
Watch it kill Yacht Club. This game, even if it’s great, is destined to fail.
Also, making it more Castlevania than Zelda was a mistake.
Everyone knows about it by now. As long as it’s good start to finish it should do pretty well after reviews. Glad the game is on the homestretch now
I enjoyed the demo
Oh boy, I actually might get something for backing this game!
Of course it went gold, it’ll never release.
