Requisite "I bought an NGPC game" post: Of course it's Super Real Mahjong P. Coll. I got it for 35 CIB after months of hoping to find a deal on eBay. That's a better deal than I had hoped for! I like the little die cut window on the box that shows off the cartridge label. Is it unique to this box? I don't recall ever seeing that before. As for the game I think it's fucking great, quickly one of my favorite mahjong games I own. This is partially due to my NGPC bias but it really does feel right at home on the system, right down to the "NGPC fighter" style sprites for each of the girls during the closing credits. It's got a really nice, basic set of options and the eight levels of difficulty are tuned well. One doesn't usually see this in a battle/strip mahjong game, only in the serious 4-player sims. It's super beginner friendly and would be an instant recommendation to people interested in learning to play except it's hard to find and on the NGPC. The background music is repetitive but I like the noise channel sound of the tiles clacking about. Oddly, it does not allow for open tanyo (exposed all simples) which I think other SRMs do. Wish I could read story mode as mundane as I'm sure it is. Also, nice animations. Also, boobs, although the boobs could be gone and this would still hold up amazingly well.

A great, easier to get, sorta, mahjong game to learn on is Tottemo E Mahjong + for PS4 (non + version available on Vita)

hmm, it's tempting - but I'm not very good at mahjong, and it's a bit of a challenge to learn/remember everything! It feels worthwhile though, so!! hmmmmmm

Yeah, it does take a while to remember all the hands but if you keep a list on your phone while you play the interface here is nice. You can turn on options to let you know when your hand is ready to call or when an opponent drops a winning tile you can steal. If you declare riichi (one away from winning) it will show you the tile(s) you need to win. The level 1 difficulty is pretty darn mild so it wouldn't be as frustrating to learn against (unlike the original SRM which is what I learned on and the ladies are absolute sharks). There are one or two better games to learn on but if I was able to throw myself headfirst into harder mahjong games and learn then anyone can. I can be quite spacey at times. Really, it comes down to whether you can get a good price and what you're willing to pay for a game you may not get much mileage out of. I was ecstatic at 35 because I regularly saw it go for 50-70.

hah! guts did a faq! but yeah, I'd probably get it if I saw it cheap! I kind of would like to learn on suchie pai, and started to, but of course it also has powerups and weird things, so what will I really be learning!?

suchie pai is so damn good but yeah, with power ups you aren't really learning. At the very least it may cause you to develop certain bad habits or to not learn proper strategy but the power-ups are super fun once you get a better handle on the basic rules!
