Kotaku: nigoro

Miracle Witch Is Like Zelda, Only New And Free

Luke Plunkett — Wed, 13 May 2009 02:30:00 MDT

Nigoro are surely the masters of the browser flash game. Rose & Camellia, Mekuri Master, Death Village, everything they touch, it turns to gold. And Miracle Witch is no different.

Rather than creating another "simple" title, Nigoro have made their own take on old 8-bit adventure titles like Zelda, complete with dungeons, magic and a rousing 8-bit score.

Miracle Witch can be a bit touchy to control at times, and is a bit too complex to be a workplace time-killer, but if you're reclining at home after a hard day's work/school/whatever, it's a cheap way to keep yourself busy for the night.

Cosplaying Japanese Actress Is REALLY Into Woman Slapping, Upskirting

We've already established how awesome Japanese actress Natsuki Kato is. She's very awesome. Moreso for us having seen these vids, which show Kato playing her way through two of our favourite Nigoro-developed Hot Flashes. In the first, she's really into Rose & Camellia. And in the second, she's just as into upskirt-a-thon Mekuri Master. What a lady.

Sunday Timewaster: Bounce Shot

Maggie Greene — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 13:30:00 MDT

IndieGames succinctly describes this as 'a cross between Breakout and Space Invaders,' which is pretty accurate — but it's a fun game with a retro feel. I was in the mood for some candy-colored, easy to pick up fun this weekend, and this definitely hit the spot. Boss battles every 10 levels, power ups, and trying not to get hit with your own bullets (so watch out for that trigger finger) — add in some cute alien enemies, and you've got the recipe for how I wasted a good chunk of my Sunday morning.

Rose and Camellia Are BACK

How do you improve on what's probably the best game ever made? You make it bigger. Badder. More woman-slappier. Yes, Rose & Camellia is back, this time as Rose & Camellia 2, featuring all-new ladies, all new stages and all-new woman-slapping action. It's great! So great there's a catch: you've got to finish R&C1 first (the shockwave version, linked below) to gain access to it. A little harsh, perhaps, but the bigger the reward the tougher the toil.
