I guess that very few people are interested in this, but I'd like to know if anyone can give me some advice on Mahjong games on handhelds (mainly DS, but I'm interested in PSP too).
There's a few games available, but it's really hard to find reviews on those games. I'm looking for 4 players MJ, complete (customizable) rules, good AI (online would be interesting, too), touch screen play and download play if available...
I found some games, listed below, maybe missed some others. Any useful advices ?
* Nihon Pro Mahjong Kishikai Kanshuu Pro Ni Naru Mahjong DS (Success, 11/24/05)
Apparently, it's a game supervised by pros, with tutorial and advices. One could expect correct IA, but, who know... Download play also available.
* Yakuman DS (Nintendo Intelligent Systems)
Nintendo game, with Nintendo character. I don't mind. I saw a few very good reviews, and I love Intelligent Systems. but I fear that, while it's accessible, its play is not very solid and rules are kept simple (although Nintendo published several Mahjong games in the past. Are they any good ?)
* Kidou Gekidan Haro Ichiza: Gundam Mahjong DS (Bandai, 12/31/05)
I don't really care about licence, but that's not at all a problem. Lots of unlockables, voice acting.
* Minna no Mahjong DS (MTO)
Don't know anything about this one, although there's also an association of Mahjong behind it.
* Simple DS Series Vol. 1: The Mahjong (D3)
Cheap one, but it's said to be quite a good surprise, with an especially good storyline ?
* Mahjong Taikai (Koei)
Very nice, but I heard it was quite bad, actually...
Did you try any of those ?
Thanks a lot...
