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 recreation 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 authentic, which makes it sound like a posh recreation 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 set, as spouse of Shunsuke, eldest son of the Tsubakikoji home, to say 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 evening she prepares to show her case, by power if obligatory, and put the depraved blue-bloods of their place.
The gameplay, nonetheless, concerned slapping the shit out of everybody standing in your method. The sport was nice, resulting in a sequel only a 12 months later, then in 2013 a 3rd entry within the collection was launched, this time a tie-in with La-Mulana. I’ve not even considered this recreation in over a decade, although, and sure none of you may have both, which is why it’s a wild shock to see {that a} port of the primary recreation is on its strategy to the Nintendo Swap.
Not solely is that this bringing the fun of the sport to an entire new technology, but it surely’s additionally including movement controls through the PleasureCon controllers, and for the primary time will enable for multiplayer so you may slap a buddy as a substitute of the CPU. There’s no launch date or worth listed, or phrase of a Western launch (the unique was a Japanese recreation, and this announcement was solely made in Japanese), however you may (and may) take a look at the trailer beneath:
