Independent game developer Yacht Club Games announced during today’s Nintendo Indie World Direct that their upcoming top-down action adventure game, Mina the Hollower, is launching on both Nintendo Switch 1 and 2 on October 31st.
In addition to the platform release date announcement, Mina the Hollower’s demo is exclusively available on Nintendo Switch platforms for a limited time (8/7 - 8/21). The demo features the game’s opening stage and concludes with the first major boss fight. Progress made in the demo will carry over to the full game at launch.
The Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game also has support for 120 FPS! Whether you’re playing docked on a compatible TV, or handheld on the Nintendo Switch 2’s built-in screen, you can experience all the action at a super silky and smooth high framerate! (From the Options Menu, select Video, then toggle Max Game FPS to 120.)
As for whether it has mouse support...of course! In Mina the Hollower, you ARE the mouse! But we heard that if you turn your Joy-Con 2 on its side while playing and move it around, something may happen...
