Yacht Club Games's new Castlevania-inspired adventure game Mina the Hollower sold half a million copies in a week.

Earlier this year, Yacht Club Games co-founder Sean Velasco said that Mina the Hollower – its second major release after a decade of Shovel Knight – was "make-or-break," with Velasco saying "if we sold 500,000 copies, then we would be golden. If we sold even 200,000, that would be really, really great. If we sold, like, 100,000, that's not so good."
