Update: June 29, 2007
«©NCSX» Chuukana Janshi Tenho Painyon Special was originally released on the PC in 2005 and the character-driven mahjong game makes its way onto portable handhelds this week. The game is a mash of mahjong, pachislot, cheerful characters, and voice acting. The setting is a meshing of the Western world and Meiji-era Japan where the Tokugawa Shogunate has been overthrown and the Meiji Restoration is well underway. However, dark forces are conspiring to disrupt the government and the only way to allay the political drama is mahjong. That's right, mahjong where cute characters test their MJ handling skills against other adorable players. New features include animation sequences and speech that takes place throughout the table top action. The ultimate mahjong contest will be fought against a mighty nine-tailed fox demon but before that, lower ranked opponents must be beaten. New features in the portable versions of Chuukana Janshi Tenho Painyon include updated animation sequences and new snippets of speech that take place throughout the mahjong action. Four new characters designed by renowned manga artist Kenichi Sonoda also make their way onto the NDS and PSP ports. A total of 12 characters are featured in the game including a Meiji-era waitress wearing a cherry-blossom smock, a samurai warrior, a delightful shrine maiden, a fox girl with tail, and two pink-haired moppets with extreme moxie. In the intro to the game, an energetic movie plays where the beautifully rendered characters pose, act the fool, and screech with squeaky voices. The theme song is catchy and crisp which suits the chipper demeanor of the cast. There's a samurai and a matron in there who both look out of place amongst the SD girl fever.
