I can’t imagine I’ve needed to attain this far again into the archives for this, however anybody who was studying the location again in 2008 (!) would possibly keep in mind a sport referred to as Rose & Camellia, which was kinda like Punch-Out!, provided that everybody was straight out of a Jane Austen novel.
Right here is the pitch for the 2007 unique, which makes it sound like a fancy sport of intricate social and political intrigue:
The day after Reiko marries into the patrician Tsubakikoji household her beloved husband dies, leaving her with nothing however a rose and the scorn of his household. Regardless of her low origins Reiko is decided, as spouse of Shunsuke, eldest son of the Tsubakikoji home, to assert her title as mistress. However the mocking aristocrats that make up the feminine members of the principle household department deny her rightful place. Clutching the rose given her by Shunsuke on their marriage ceremony night time she prepares to show her case, by drive if vital, and put the depraved blue-bloods of their place.
The gameplay, nevertheless, concerned slapping the shit out of everybody standing in your manner. The sport was nice, resulting in a sequel only a yr later, then in 2013 a 3rd entry within the collection was launched, this time a tie-in with La-Mulana. I’ve not even thought of this sport in over a decade, although, and sure none of you’ve got both, which is why it’s a wild shock to see {that a} port of the primary sport is on its strategy to the Nintendo Swap.
Not solely is that this bringing the fun of the sport to a complete new era, however it’s additionally including movement controls through the PleasureCon controllers, and for the primary time will permit for multiplayer so you may slap a good friend as an alternative of the CPU. There’s no launch date or value listed, or phrase of a Western launch (the unique was a Japanese sport, and this announcement was solely made in Japanese), however you may (and may) take a look at the trailer beneath:
