This week in The Veil, the regulars get all misty-eyed, looking back on the N64, and in particular Lylat Wars/Star Fox 64.

Spooky season comes to The Mimic’s Veil this week, as three gnarled old crones hunch over a crooked table, telling tales of Hades II, a game that stars a witch. Witches are spooky. Silksong is also a bit spooky (bugs everywhere!) so there’s some of that. Er… Beacon Patrol isn’t really spooky, and neither are NBA 2K26 or Rematch, but they also get a mention. There’s also a look-ahead to the new releases coming in October 2025 in a spooooooky new segment.Grab yourself some cool The Mimic's Veil merchandise (t-shirts, caps, beer mugs, the lot!) at the official The Mimic's Veil store.If you'd like to support us, receive a monthly bonus podcast, and join our members-only Discord, throw a pound in the pint glass on Patreon.The Mimic's Veil is sponsored by Taste Invader tea.
