 * “To put it simply, a nakige brings players to tears as they read the in-game text,” says Yoshida. “In the past, adult games were seen as pornography in Japan, so were called nukige, or games to masturbate to.”

 * Eroge is a hugely popular genre of visual novel both from established producers and fan circles, and can be further divided into smaller categories such as nukige (抜きゲ) or ‘jack-off game’, referring to a game that is intended to provide easy access to sex scenes or other erotic material to facilitate masturbation.

 * As well as the effect of loosening content restrictions, the key point here is that Japanese videogame regulation is fractured by platform multiplicity. Small publishers producing games such as dating sims, visual novels, and ‘nukige’ (masturbation games) cohere to self-regulate, and more serious sexual content is confined to the PC market, dominated by adult consumers.

 * The last mention belongs to the “nukige” (“masturbation game”) genre, which describes games explicitly and solely focused on pornographic content (see also “Logan M”; 2013, and Mai; 2014).

 * Adult-only sub-genres of visual novel games called eroge and nukige also exist.
