Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels. There's only two of us in the house this week, but Kevin & John still have plenty of gaming goodies to discuss, so let's get right into it... We get things started off with a recap of the 5th Annual Pursuing Pixels James Jam Game Gam, and give a few quick shoutouts to some of our favorite entries this time around! Kevin takes the reigns after that, and digs into his first impressions of Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo, which he was inspired to finally boot up after John's recent time with Mina the Hollower. Finally, John closes things out with a potpourri of retro JRPGs that he's been bouncing between lately, including the Breath of Fire series, EarthBound, and more...

How’s everyone holding up? You know, with uhhh, all the recent news pouring in from Sony regarding their upcoming departure from physical media and Microsoft’s uhhh, well, departure from reality after slaughtering over 1,600 jobs, with more to cut on the way, in the same week they shared the goal to service over a billion players… Shit sucks, yeah, but there’s still hope to take stock in, like the steadily growing unionization across various game development and media jobs in the industry, and the rapid progression that indie games are making across the video game marketplace, large and small—there really are things to still take joy in! Aside from that, George, Ed, and new friend and guest on this week’s episode, Jake of the Press B to Cancel Podcast, also share their own coping mechanisms to the current state of games, like the never-ending journey to tackle their giant libraries of video games, and the thousands of more retro games they have yet to play thanks to the new translation and emulation efforts being fostered by the gaming enthusiast community at large! So, aside from the news, the panel for this episode of Press Pause Radio have also played an ass-load of games that they want to talk about, like Star Fox (2026), Star Fox 64, Magic: The Gathering-Foundations, 007 First Light, Forza Horizons 6, The Adventure of Little Ralph, Pokémon GO Fest 2026, Mina the Hollower, Mega Man 2, Veritas Tales: Witch of the Dark Castle, and much more! So gird your bits and grab your favorite guilty pleasure as Press Pause Radio leads you on a 2-hour-ish journey built with some hope, cope, and a little (or a lot) of edibles to champion you on this hot summer day!
The humid days of summer does not stop Remap Radio. Join Chia, Janet, Rob, and Patrick as they further talk through Xbox's generational reset, PlayStation's announcement that it's ditching discs, some initial thoughts on the Steam Machine, deck TV feelings, and more. We've got plenty of game talk, too, including beating Mina the Hollower, crashing out in Marathon, and trying to find a better way to organize the video games you should be playing—even if by shame.Links: Id Layoffs, Obsidian Layoffs, Sony Winding Down Physical Game Production, ESA bafflingly declares private Minecraft servers 'illegal'Discussed:00:00 - Intro12:48 - Steam Machine28:54 - The Xbox Layoffs hit Obsidian and ID 50:39 - Sony Stops Making Physical Games 1:25:38 - ESA Calls Private Minecraft Servers Illegal 1:31:02 - Mina the Hollower 1:46:30 - Janet's New Game System 2:03:16 - Marathon 2:10:19 - Idols of Ash 2:20:14 - Question Bucket See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The gang are all back together at last after our various summer hols, and we're happy to welcome the return of Liam after his absence from our last episode. Naturally, our first order of business is to get him all caught up on what he missed during the mid-year check-in, so we begin with a quick-fire chat that takes in Mina the Hollower, El Paso Elsewhere 2, Denshattack!, Truck-kun is Supporting Me from Another World?!, The Mermaid Mask, and – not indie, but unignorable given who we're talking about – Resident Evil Veronica. Then it's onto the main topic of this episode and, unbelievably, despite being co-created and co-hosted by a lifelong obsessive Simmer, it's taken Indieventure almost three years to put together an episode dedicated to the life sim genre. However, the early access launch of Paralives a few weeks back has given Rebecca the excuse she's always needed to go off at length about her excruciatingly detailed knowledge of life sims, how they work, how they're made, and how the genre has developed and adapted to the changing gaming landscape over the past quarter-century. Many thanks to Liam, Rachel, and you, our lovely listeners for indulging this semi-interactive TED talk, and be sure to check out the Sims Community interview quoted in this episode! Naturally you can expect some illegal AAA chat here too as it's more or less impossible to discuss Paralives in context without regularly referring back to The Sims franchise as well as InZoi; but don't worry, we also circle back to perennial Indieventure favourite and underappreciated indie life sim Tiny Life while we're at it. There might even be a Stardew Valley cameo in there somewhere, too. And like a cooling dip in the pool during Britain's third consecutive heatwave, we round off with our latest hyperfixations. One of Rachel's favourite manga series – The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy at All – is getting an anime adaptation early next year soundtracked by Nirvana, so there's plenty to get excited about there already even if we're six months away from seeing the thing itself. Liam has broken a bit of a dry spell in his gaming enthusiasm by getting very, very invested in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. And Rebecca has achieved her pledge to "sit by a pool and do nothing but read a stack of books for two weeks", having read nine novels on her recent break with a reading list comprised of authors Mie Takase, T Kingfisher, KJ Charles, Becky Chambers, Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone, Owen King, and Chuck Tingle. Our music was written and performed by Ollie Newbury! Find him on Instagram at @newbsmusic. Meanwhile, you can find us at indieventurepodcast.co.uk or wherever you listen to podcasts.

I headed to a sleepy coastal town on Lake Michigan to hang out with some of the crew from the Fix Your Heart or Die podcast and along the way we figured we might as well get some content on the books. For the first time ever, 2 guests in-studio gathered together to talk Mina the Hollower and StarFox '26 (along with some guesses regarding the future release of Ocarina of Time '26). The mostly free form chat is a sort of "warts and all" podcast with a few disruptions from Waldo the cat, and plenty of technical glitches you only get from recording locally, but it was cool to get face to face on the topic of video games. After this chat, I got the chance to play StarFox '26 and my thoughts are "this sure is StarFox 64 with a coat of paint!" But for more in depth analysis, you'll have to listen to this episode.0:00:00 - Welcome Back to the Show, Shy Fox and Marcy0:05:40 - What Are You Playing?

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels. We're got the full crew in the house once again this week, and a whole bunch of gaming goodies to discuss (per usual), so let's get right into it... Randall gets things started off with an update on his time with Twilight Princess HD, where he's been continuing to make steady progress while playing through the game with his daughter on the weekends! John takes things from there, as he gets started off with his first impressions on the recently released Mina the Hollower from the folks at Yacht Club Games — before ultimately digging into his love/hate relationship with Destiny 2. Finally, Kevin closes things out with some first impressions of his own, after firing up the demo for Marsupilami 2: Salsa Palombia — a somewhat unexpected sequel to one of his favorite 2D platformers in recent memory.

Show Notes On this week's podcast, Dan and Kris board the SAG Cartoon Express for a classic episode of Captain N: The Game Master. Why is this show so completely insane? Why do King Hippo and Mother Brain look the way they do? Why is Simon Belmont basically Vanity Smurf? Let's discuss. Then, in Week Old News, Nintendo is building a new building, while everything everywhere continues to get more and more expensive. Pl;us, the Steam Machine reveals its lofty price, Grand Theft Auto VI reveals its lofty price, Sega announces some Sonic reissues with a lofty price, and did we mention everything's expensive? Finally, in the Checkpoint, Kris makes his way through Deltarune Chapter 1, and spreads the unbridled joy of the Rhythm Heaven Groove demo, while Dan finishes off Mina the Hollower and some other stuff too!

Cette semaine, on commence avec les aventures de la «muloteuse» Mina qui doit affronter un univers des plus hostiles pour aller remettre en état des générateurs de bluettes. Hommage assumé aux jeux de l'époque Game Boy Color, Mina The Hollower, du studio Yacht Club Games (Shovel Knight), est un titre exigeant mais très bien conçu, et avec toutes les options d'accéssibilité nécessaires pour le rendre abordable aux communs des mortels. On continue avec le jeu de plateforme cinématique Deer & Boy qui nous raconte avec brio l'histoire d'une amitié entre un enfant et un jeune cerf (comme son nom l'indique). Le studio Lifeline Games assume ses influences et réussit à se hisser à leur niveau. On termine avec le très court et magnifique Halfmoon et avec Gobliiins Collection, qui regroupe les cinq premiers épisodes de cette licence française du point & click.

Show Notes On this week's podcast, Dan and Kris recap the final batch of Not-E3 showcases, including Xbox's bid for an audience, and a somewhat baffling Nintendo Direct. What big game announcements were made? How many forgettable indie showcases were there this time? Let's find out! Then, in Week Old News, the industry follows up its trailer season with its favorite pastime… layoffs! Plus, Xbox exclusivity is weird, September is going to be busy, and more! Finally, in the Checkpoint, Kris gives Mina another go, and enjoys the heck out of both Masters of the Universe and the Star Fox demo. Meanwhile Dan polishes off the recent Resident Evil, still loves Dungeon Crawler Carl, and continues to enjoy Mina the Hollower. Enjoy! See Our Faces!!!

The post Mina the Hollower appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Tonight on GeekNights, we review Mina the Hollower (2026). It's fantastic, evoking the feeling of old NES games but with modern design sensibilities. In the news, the Steam Machine is actually here and still a reasonable price (considering the unreasonable pressure the AI bubble is putting on computer components), Civ VII added hotseat multiplayer, and Deltarune chapter 5 drops TOMORROW.Related LinksForum ThreadMina the Hollower (2026)Discord ChatMina the Hollower (2026)Bluesky PostMina the Hollower (2026)Things of the DayRym - "I Never Read The Animorphs," a poem by Neil CicieregaScott - Abandoned & Little-Known Airfields

On this episode which was recorded on Father's Day, Jonathan and Ryan switch places (sorta). They get to the videogame chat eventually after talking about how the Amazing Digital Circus is kind of like a videogame. Ryan is convinced he needs to spoil the Amazing Digital Circus and Jonathan is not convinced the things Ryan says are spoilers, but if you haven't seen the show yet, you may want to watch it before hearing what Ryan has to say. Later the pair are joined by Jonathan's other son Charles to talk about Mina the Hollower and along the way, we stop over in Star Fox and Minecraft Dungeons 2 country. Rounding things out, Jonathan gives us his personal predictions for Avengers: Doomsday.0:00:00 - You're The Little Guy0:01:10 - The True Way to Be a Prankster0:03:31 - Ryan Dad, Jonathan Boy0:04:43 - Amazing Digital Circus is Kind of a Videogame?0:06:18 - A New Brand of Nerd0:07:49 - You Do Realize You're Explaining Digital Circus0:09:58 - Beatbox Battle: Dork vs. Cool Guy0:10:52 - Spoilers for the Amazing Digital Circus...Sorta0:13:33 - End Spoilers for the Amazing Digital Circus0:14:17 - Mina the Hollower Had Some Emotions0:14:35 - Different Topic: Star Fox0:16:04 - Why Do They Do Remakes if the Differences Are So Small?0:16:44 - Can We Talk About Mina?

Bonus Episode #70 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bryan and Kyle venture into the dark, gothic world of Mina the Hollower, the long-awaited action-adventure from Yacht Club Games. Inspired by classic Game Boy Color adventures while incorporating modern design sensibilities, Mina the Hollower combines fast-paced combat, exploration, puzzle-solving, and a surprisingly deep narrative into one of 2026's most celebrated releases. Throughout the episode, the guys discuss their experiences with Mina's underground burrowing mechanics, the game's atmospheric world design, memorable boss encounters, and how Yacht Club Games successfully stepped out from the shadow of Shovel Knight to establish an entirely new franchise. Of course, they also spend time highlighting the game's excellent soundtrack by Jake Kaufman and special guest Yuzo Koshiro, which perfectly captures the tension, mystery, and adventure found throughout Tenebrous Isle.

We're coming off of our Summer Game Fest-related high, toting a bunch of news from publisher-driven events that occurred after we published our last episode. For starters, the Xbox Showcase... showcased... 28 games in total, of which 24 are coming to PlayStation 5, including State of Decay 3, Senua, and Spyro: A Realm Beyond (not to mention release dates for Halo: Combat Evolved and Fable). But Xbox's peculiar, wishy-washy, and inconsistent behavior likewise makes us wonder what the future might hold for Microsoft releases on Sony's hardware, especially because Gears of War: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution -- both internally slated to migrate to PlayStation 5 until very recently -- won't appear at all. Meanwhile, Nintendo's newest Direct also had some interesting fodder, including a surprise look at Kingdom Hearts IV, a brand new 2D-HD game in the form of Final Fantasy Resonance, and more. Other news this week revolves around Persona 4 Revival and Persona 6, a new Crazy Taxi adventure in the form of World Tour, a promising magic shooter called Magicians: The Devil's Deal, a fall release date for Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, and extremely strong sales figures for Yacht Club's Mina the Hollower. We wrap things up (as always) with listener inquiries! Now that everything has settled, what are our three most-anticipated games, respectively? Should Sony bite the bullet and greenlight Destiny 3? Where's Naughty Dog hiding? Is Colin falling prey to Big Plumber and Big Sewer propaganda by refusing to flush wipes?

What a week! Our jam-packed episode of Sacred Symbols covers all of the announcements from both Sony's State of Play presentation, as well as Geoff Keighley's Summer Games Fest showcase. And let's just say, there's a ton to get through. State of Play's 25 game roster included a fresh, expanded look at Wolverine, the reveal of Firesprite's long-rumored Until Dawn 2, and the confirmation of a brand new God of War game in the form of Laufey (plus a ton of third-party stuff, including Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Silent Hill: Townfall, Control Resonant, Phantom Blade 0, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, and more). Geoff's show went even harder, with a full 53 games displayed, including the culmination of the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga in the form of Final Fantasy VII: Revelation, the always-assumed Resident Evil: Code Veronica remake en route in 2027, two new Cuphead titles, the Stellar Blade sequel Blood Rain, and so on. We have other news this week, too -- MMORPG Horizon: Steel Frontiers has been delayed, California's legislature is going after developers and publishers who delist games, Fable has been delayed until next year, and so on -- but really, the meat of the show is all about these E3-like pressers. Even the questions at the end! So buckle up for one long episode of Sacred Symbols.
