Yacht Club Games celebrated ten years of Shovel Knight yesterday, and while there was plenty of news surrounding the Blue Burrower himself, their new mouse mascot also got a piece of the action with the release of a trailer for his game.
The product of a successful Kickstarter campaign that generated over $1 million, Mina the Hollower draws inspiration from the retro games we all know and love – including Link’s Awakening and the Zelda Oracle games, among many others. In this update, Yacht Club mentioned that the game will run at a smooth 60 frames per second, and that the team will be hard at work perfecting every detail until the game’s final release. On that note, the release date has not been confirmed, but we know for sure that it will be coming to Switch.
meanwhile, indie enthusiasts and followers of the developer can return to The Valley with the upcoming Shovel Knight DX. While a release date has also not been confirmed, it will likely be used as a buffer between now and Mina’s release. This month’s highly anticipated Nintendo Direct may have some good news for starving fans, but you can count on us to keep you updated.
