The legendary flash game ‘Rose and Camellia’, also called ‘the game of slap on the ear’ because it fights with slaps instead of fists or knives is returning to the Nintendo Switch.
On the 14th, Japanese game company Nigoro released a trailer for the Nintendo Switch version of their old work, Rose and Camellia, as part of the Tokyo Game Show 2022. This game is a flash game released in 2007 and is a fighting game that uses a simple action of hitting the cheek. The main character, Reiko, who has married a huge family, boasts a unique concept in which she fights with her mother-in-law and other members of the city by slaps on the cheek. It will be the first game in 15 years to be released on the Nintendo Switch.
Following the announcement of the Tokyo Game Show, Nigoro released the Nintendo Switch version details on the official website on the 18th. Unlike the original, which used a mouse to slap the cheek, the Switch version utilizes the motion recognition function of the Joy-Con to control the character with an actual slap on the cheek. In addition to the single-player mode that progresses the story once morest the CPU, it supports a local battle mode for the first time in the series. In the local match mode, you can split the joy-cons and enjoy two-player play with a single switch.
There are also some changes to the system. In the past, it was possible to attack and dodge unlimitedly without a set turn, but in the switch version, the attack action can be performed by alternating turns. Unlike the original, where quick operation was possible with just a click of a mouse, it seems to be a change to compensate for the slow operation due to actually swinging the Joy-Con. In addition to this, in addition to the first episode, there are two scenarios in the game, as well as three and four screenplays featuring a new protagonist.
Rose and Camellia The exact release date of the Nintendo Switch version and whether Korean language support will be officially announced have not been decided yet.
