WayForward and NIGORO have teamed up to bring the Rose & Camellia Collection, an anthology of outrageous slap-fighting games, to the Nintendo Switch on April 16.
In the Rose & Camellia Collection, inheritance disputes are settled with open-handed duels. You’ll step into the shoes of Reiko, a young widow determined to prove her worth as the head of the prestigious Tsubakikoji family. How? By mastering the time-honored tradition of aristocratic slap battles, of course!
Expect to face off against muscular maids, spooky spirits, and even a giant mecha in scenarios ranging from the “Death Queen Circuit” to a crossover with NIGORO’s La-Mulana series.
To emerge victorious, you’ll need to master the art of the slap. Use the Joy-Con motion controls or touchscreen swipes to perform perfectly timed slaps, dodges, feints, and counters. The game features a story mode packed with single-player shenanigans and a competitive local versus mode where you can challenge a friend and pit heroines against their rivals.
The Rose & Camellia Collection promises a unique blend of humor and over-the-top action. It includes five distinct games, over 30 playable characters, and the option for either English or Japanese voiceovers.
Although you can purchase the Rose & Camellia Collection digitally on the Nintendo Switch eShop, fans of physical copies aren’t left behind, either! Limited Run Games will offer a special physical edition of the game. Stay tuned for more details on its contents and how to snag this collectible release.
