In January 2015, the platform was launched with four Japanese games that were translated for an English-speaking audience. Although they began with the release of card battle RPG “Lord of Valkyrie,” Nutaku has rapidly expanded its selection to include online games of the card-battle, adventure, city building, and sim genres. It is particularly noted for its broad selection of translated Japanese erotic games. In August 2015 an online version of Everlasting Summer with restored adult content was released on Nutaku. In November 2015 Nutaku announced the launch of an all-ages website. In July 2016, Nutaku announced their partnership with Kimochi, a downloadable game client focused on the digital distribution of adult games from around the world. In early 2017, Nutaku released Android compatible version of some of their more popular games.
