 [![Mina The Hollower – First hands on by IGN](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/mina-the-hollower-first-hands-on-by-ign.jpeg "Mina The Hollower – First hands on by IGN")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/mina-the-hollower-first-hands-on-by-ign.jpeg)Shovel Knight, which was made by **Yacht Club Games**, is a very well-known game. But you might be surprised to find out that Shovel Knight is the only intellectual property (IP) they have. With a new action-adventure game called Mina The Hollower, they hope to change that.
