Topic: The Game Gap: Japan-Only DS Titles

[chrisb]

Everyone knows Japanese gamers always get the really cool, off-the-wall games at launch. Here's a quick rundown of the first-party games that haven't been announced for a US release!

Yakuman DS (temporary title) (price and release date not determined, developed by Nintendo)

And here's the obligatory "Mah-jongg game for the new Nintendo system." This is a game whose appeal completely eludes me, but for those of you who really dig Mah-jongg, please turn your eyes across the ocean because Nintendo's got your back. The Nintendo site claims that this is a "family-oriented Mah-jongg game" played via the wireless network. They tout it as a game that "Dad will buy and teach the kids how to play." It also promises to keep all the features that you loved from "Yakuman Advance."

(I also want the other two titles...Grrrr so much money will be spent on my DS... ;_;.)

Boo! Nintendo is teh kiddy!

Nintendo needs a "Super Real Mahjong" compilation game on the DS.

Yeah.  Wireless Strip Mahjong.

NMS gave the Mah-jongg title that launched with the N64 a whopping 97% and they admitted to not even liking the bloody thing. ;_____;
