My most anticipated indie game, a Game Boy-style mashup of Zelda, Dark Souls, and Castlevania from the Shovel Knight devs, just brought its excellent demo to Nintendo Switch 2

Mina the Hollower.

Mina the Hollower has looked incredible from the jump – the Shovel Knight devs taking the bones of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening,adding some distinctly Castlevania aesthetics and weapons, and bringing in a touch of Soulslike combat depth and healing systems? That's a downright magical recipe, and Nintendo fans can finally get a taste of what to expect as the previously PC-exclusive demo comes to Switch.

As announced during today's Nintendo Indie World Showcase, Mina the Hollower isn't just coming to the original Switch – it's also getting a dedicated Nintendo Switch 2 version. I doubt we'll see too much difference with that upgrade here, but hopefully that means we can get those pixels in their most razor-sharp form with the new console's 4K support.
