They let me on to sing the praises of #MinaTheHollower and my 10/10 review on This Week In Switch 2! Bone up on why you should be playing it and other Nintendo news.

Lore accurate Joe Higashi vs Preecha finish, in which we see whose Hurricane Upper is stronger. #COTW #FatalFury #FGC

When you start #MinaTheHollower, Mina only has minimal style and sizzle. By completing the path to a Disturbing Dance, you can tear it up on any dance floor, whether it’s the Underlab or on the bones of your enemies. ☺️ #indiegame

We're doing spooky mouse dances in these streets

They gave Mina just enough movement options to be a silly little gal.

Mina the Hollower is out. It is a very good game and one of my absolute favorites this year. I hope you like it too. Get out there, defeat your enemies, and dance on their bones. With music like this, how could you not? #indiegame

Mina the Hollower is a banger. Great art, music, gameplay, adjustable to your liking, but by default, it's a challenge all the way through to a bold ending. I don't think this dethrones Tomodachi for me in 2026, but it's easily Top 3 GOTY and Top 1 in silly dances. #indiegame

Thank you to everyone who tuned into Indie-licious to watch Rune Dice. It was a great mix of heartbreak and thrills. If you liked this, tune in next week when we run the Shacknews E4 Indie Showcase, filled to the brim with dozens of reveals! #indiegame #indiegames #indiedev

As similar in style as Mr. Karate is to Marco, he's also got some neat things that set him apart. The step dash cancels are murder on my thumbs, but they offer a lot of great options and Drago Supremo is a great parry, too. #FatalFury #CotW #FGC

The Thing and Cyclops are another layer of greatness in Marvel Cosmic Invasion. Cyclops' slides and beams made for a great evasive offense and The Thing? Just see for yourself. Awesome. 😂 #indiegame #indiegames #indiedev @dotemu.bsky.social @tributegames.com

IT'S CLOBBERIN' TIME! You don't need to twist my arm to get me to play @tributegames.com and @dotemu.bsky.social's Marvel Cosmic Invasion, but what better time to jump in for an Indie-licious stream than with new DLC? Come see how Thing and Cyclops play today! #indiegame #indiegames #indiedev

“Drake wearing that glove like he the King of Flop” Sigh. I scrolled up and Twitter refreshed it into the ether. 🥲

Goblin Vyke: The Thief Tycoon was a lot of fun! Loved the risk-reward of the stealth dungeon-crawling, but the shop sim game is nothing to sneeze at either. Great time. Thanks to everyone for watching! #indiegame #indiegames #indiedev

A very roguish game found its way to my attention, which demanded a very roguish Indie-licious promo. We're playing Goblin Vyke: The Thief Tycoon this week! Pilfering and profits a-plenty! Don't miss it! #indiegame #indiegames #indiedev

When two opposing storms clash, it creates a weather phenomenon known as the Fujiwhara Effect where the two storms are said to "dance" around each other, until the larger storm generally absorbs the smaller storm, as demonstrated in the #CotW_Joe mirror match below.

Don't always gotta be a hero. Sometimes you can just be a rattlesnake.

When your combo's last hit does just enough damage to beat scaling and seal the deal. ✌️😚 #CotW_Joe

The 200th episode of Indie-licious... Amazing we've come so far. If you missed it, we're running a new Shacknews Indie Game Showcase on June 3, 2026 with more than 20 games. 200 episodes wasn't enough. Thank you for watching, and stay tuned. #indiegame #indiegames #indiedev

Oh Gorb the Flea, you are undoubtedly, unequivocally the worst one, just as I always intended. #Tomodachi

I couldn’t put it in the review this way but… #InvincibleVS’s Himalayas theme might be one of the sexiest songs I’ve fought to. A real “big heel black boots, leather jacket, and sunglasses, looking down my nose over a gay pour rum and coke after I schmix your boys” song. #FGC

It was a fun run on #InvincibleVS on stream. Conquest was a nice addition to my squad and we scored a few Ws for the swap. Conquest, Monster Girl, and Rex Splode my wave for now. Which characters are you digging? Stay tuned for more streams and coverage! #FGC

With #InvincibleVS out, we're free to throw down. Tune in tomorrow to the @shacknews.com Twitch channel as we go live on Friday, May 1, right after Shack Central to dig into the Day 1 patch notes, break down my review, and play some online matches! #FGC twitch.tv/shacknews

There are a handful of things in Invincible VS that vex me, but the depth of the roster, the satisfaction of building a good team and combos, and the bloody spectacle of it all still make this feel like the start of something grand. See you in the ring. #FGC

Very excited to share the latest Indie-licious interview, in which I spoke to @spookydoorway.bsky.social about Darkside Detective: Backside of the Moon and more. Catch it tomorrow when the interview runs first on our livestream @shacknews.com ! ☺️ #indiegame #indiegames #indiedev

Just thinkin' 'bout how Advance Wars: Days of Ruin's soundtrack puts gasoline in my veins every time I hear a song from it.

My Miis get really competitive about brutalizing bigots. They came up with a proper annual contest about it. #TomodachiLife
