Update: December 8, 2006
«©NCSX» Konami couples the clacking sound effects of a normal mahjong game with melodic music for somewhat soothing gaming experience. Upon starting the game, three opponents' mahjong tiles appear in rows on the top NDS screen while the player's 13 tiles are located on the touch screen. The aim of the game is to create sets of suits from circle, bamboo, character, and wind tiles. Dragon and Flower tiles are also thrown into the mix for strategic consideration. Players may enjoy the game with CPU-controlled opponents but the dimension and depth of the game expands markedly when the Wifi option is triggered to hook up with MJ players online. Up to four players in the local area may also link up with 1 cartridge for multi-player action. View the back cover and screenshots on the main NCSX website.
NCS Game Notes
» On the title screen, a big dragon coils behind the logo of the game. The touch screen shows the player's tiles in large icons in two rows. The back row is the overview of the entire amount of tiles that the player has and the front row is a close-up of a portion of the tiles (up to six tiles at once are viewable). Go down the row by moving the d-pad. » The top screen shows the action between the four players (3 opponents and the player). As the tiles are thrown out, they form straight rows in front of each players' position. Upon starting the game, players can enter the name in kana, hiragana or English by toggling between them with the X button. Next, a map of Japan appears with six main locations to select and play in. Once selected, a subset of locations may be chosen to play in where different players await. » Thanks to the WIFI functionality of the game, players may link up with players across Japan for some mahjong grappling action. Tiles may be tapped with the stylus to send them out into the play board. The Japan Professional Mahjong Union officially recognizes the game and 48 professional players are featured in the software to play against. » Up to four players may may join in on the action with 1 cartridge by game sharing. » A History Mode allows gamers to check performance and winnings from previous sessions.
