For the poor and desperate...

At least it looks better than the "famous" Battle Raper II. ;)

i love Kenichi Sonoda's character design ever since i saw Bubblegum Crisis WAAAAY back in the day....

but for mahjong game, i think i'll pass....

never could get the game...

and why do the girls lose pieces off their clothing playing mahjong???

For a "NOT A SEX GAME!", it sure LOOKS LIKE ONE!

Therefore, Ashcraft is totally lying through his teeth and has a loli complex.

It had to be a Mah-Jong game. Although actually there are quite a few games like this that have to do with Mah-Jong. I've been fooled many a time by the pretty pictures then after downloading and installing the game...it turns out its a Mah-Jong game! (I have no idea how to play...maybe I should watch Akagi).

@theCornerinvasion: I don't even know why they bother making these into games. All anyone who buys them wants is to click through pictures of naked girls and hear the odd "ooh" and "ahh". Even programming Mah-Jong rules into these seems like too much effort.

The Japanese can slam and dance those Mah-Jong tiles so fast, they fly off and tear off clothing, it's crazy! It just so happens that the only people in the vicinity of such games are women or questionably aged girls. True urban fact.

Your mouth says "not an h game" but your hips say "yes"!

@Kuraudo: Its more fun if you have to earn it, just like real life. Also I hate the small girl designs. Anyone who has ever read eXXaxion knows he likes to throw in the bigger size in there as well, so hopefully this one will get a mix.

Must you ruin my fun, Ashcraft? =(

The top picture just screams loli protien shower. =O

Not a sex game... nevermind.

I could never figure out how to play the version of Mahjong that is featured in so many of these games. It's probably one of the most confusing games to learn to play, primarily because it's so poorly documented.

Quick translation:

Top:
When your opponent's score drops to zero, you enter "treasure hunt mode". Use your hand-shaped cursor to search the bodies of the women, so weak they can't even stand, to find their hidden "Killer Mah Jong Tile".

Right:
The PSP version goes to the limits of eroticism!

Bottom:
Special care has gone into the "treasure hunt mode" of both versions (PSP and DS). The limits of eroticism, and the visceral feel of groping...what a tough choice!

The Nintendo DS version features natural, visceral groping!!

(Translator's note: 直感的 means "natural, visceral, instinctive". It makes sense in the Japanese, but I couldn't find a way to put it in English without sounding really awkward.

どちらでも捨てがたい means "it's hard to give up on either", in the sense of "You have to go with one or the other, but which? It's such a tough call", which, again, I couldn't find a way to put in English without sounding really awkward.)

So, basically, it sounds like they could get away with a lot more on the PSP ("limits of ero!"), so they're selling the DS version on the basis of the idea that moving your stylus directly on the screen is a more "real" feeling way to grope.

So, I'm thinking Ashcraft has been here in Japan too long. See, in Japan, "prostitution is illegal". However, prostitution is defined as "intercourse". So hand, mouth, etc., are legal, because they "aren't prostitution". I'm thinking his mind did the same short-circuit with the "not a sex game", if he's interpreting "sex" as "penile insertion". So it's not a sex game, it's a foreplay game.

@bugbread:

Or Ashcraft just doesn't want to admit his sweet, sweet love for ero mahjong.

I'll likely stick with the PSP screen and handy nub over the 'natural, visceral groping' over the split DS screens for an ecchi game like this.

Since tapping with a small plastic stylus isn't really any more like 'groping' than pressing a button...

If it looks like a duck...

Rated "M "for players 15 and above?

I take it the "M" rating in Japan is 15+?

@pixelator:

This is why we have fingernails.

@Figroti: "Rated "M "for players 15 and above?"

Well, he simplified it to the "Japanese equivalent of Mature". In reality, there are five ratings in Japan:

A: All ages
B: 12 and over
C: 15 and over
D: 17 and over
Z: 18 and over

So it's somewhere between an ESRB "T" rating (13 and over) and an ESRB "M" rating (17 and over).

Not a SEX game,riiight...I hate to admit it but this is going to be better on the DS,Touch screen FTW ;).

These rapey-type games and tentacle porn, and come to think of it, just about every other type of porn are pretty much the only things I frown on in Japanese society. Disgusting.

@DONNYchiban: "These rapey-type games and tentacle porn, and come to think of it, just about every other type of porn are pretty much the only things I frown on in Japanese society. Disgusting."

So you're cool with the ultra-right wing noise trucks, the buraku discrimination, the political scandals, the paving over of the countryside in order to secure additional funding, the fact that asbestos removal only became an issue 2 years ago, the manipulation of the media by corporate interests, etc. etc. etc.?

I love Japan. That's why I've lived here for the last 10 years. But there's way more than one thing to be frowned on. In any society, there's way more than one thing to be frowned on.

@kevinski:
So what you're saying is, you don't know how to play mahjong? Normal play is kind of like gin rummy. In Hawaii, gin rummy is often played with backasswards scoring (you score the cards you play, and the highest score wins), which I assume is because that's how mahjong is played. The hard part is all the special rules/hands, but I don't think you need to know those to play the game.

@shimage: Ohhh that explains everything/sarcasm.

Im going to suppose mahjong is a board game,is that correct.Well imo this game is the Japanesse equivalent of pocket pool.Is so sad when people use Sex to promote games like this i mean you dont see parker borthers releasing a Naked version of monopoly(But you see them releasing monopoly with everything,yugioh monopoly o-0).

I wonder if i will see a strip monopoly one of these days...

@Hater3000: "Im going to suppose mahjong is a board game,is that correct."

No, it's actually pretty damn close to being a card game. Like, Really Really close to being a card game.

Which makes the "with naked chicks" part make even less sense.

I'll search her with my stylus if you know what i mean

Oh man... that's not a good translation of Kenichi Sonoda's design...

Man... I miss Gallforce...

Exxxaxion is cool too... But, it got too sexual...

oh well... I will stick with Gun Smith Cats.

man...it's still Mahjong. That came annoys the F*** out of me.

Uh.... What?

this will be much better on the ds, fo' sure

Surely these strage fuckers dont feed the chucks over games like this...

Now I like a bit of porn, but this is just bizarre

Mahjong with stripping girls... right... I love japane and all of it's eccentricities, but I'm not getting this one... Maybe if I try it out... ^_^
