The big release of the week comes from the indie side of the aisle - for a certain definition of indie - as Yacht Club Games returns with their first original property in a dozen years with Mina the Hollower. And based on the promoted size of the games - "over 1200 screens, 17 areas", and so forth... probably not a good idea to bet the fate of the company on selling 200k copies of this, but what do I know. I just know the minute they dropped the "Soulslike" claim, I was out like the fat kid in dodgeball. I'll keep my indie support this week on Indie World veteran My Little Puppy, or Abylight (Amnesia horror series, Hyper Light Drifter) with One Military Camp from PC, or the Team17-published action RPG LumenTale: Memories of Trey.

Bigger titles this week include a Switch 2 edition of Lollipop Chainsaw and Bluey's Quest for the Gold Pen (scope out local Bluey expert Adam Abou-Nasr's review), or a fan disc for Birushana which I read a few years ago.

THINGS WE MISSED LAST WEEK: How do you do Arcade Archives games with boxing gloves on? We can find out with Tag Team Wrestling, the arcade version of the game which introduced Strong Bad to the world prior to Homestar Runner made him a computer name (with the rudo team being called the Strong Bads). The Console brought a game in the series later localized as Glory of Heracles - which of course, isn't localized AT ALL.

IS THE EGGCONSOLE GAME PLAYABLE IN ENGLISH: By some miracle, the EggConsole Heracles is an action game which should be doable.
