Also Joushou Mahjong Tenpai."},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes I search diligently for things that I just can&#8217;t seem to obtain. Other times I miss something obvious that&#8217;s been trying to fly into my face like a Danmaku Bullet.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>This is the case of the latter. I should&#8217;ve thrown this in with the rest of the slotted cart games, but alas, I&#8217;ve been looking for the BS F-Zero 2 Dai-2 stuff that I&#8217;ve faild. (Bonus points for anyone who gets &#8220;faild&#8221;)<\/p>\n<p>So yeah, the thing I forgot about was Joushou Mahjong Tenpai. Now, since this is a mediocre Mahjong game, I&#8217;d guess to a Westerner like myself I shouldn&#8217;t be expected to really think for this game. But alas, I&#8217;m a perfectionist who is obsessed with completion.<\/p>\n<p>So, to start off with, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.square-enix.com\/jp\/archive\/josho_majan\/\">Square-Enix still has a page up for this game. How interesting! I should see if Dynamitracer, Treasure Conflix and Koi Ha Balance are here as well.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The game was credited to Game Arts (highly prestige-filled devvers to make the least of it. BTW, I&#8217;m totally psyched for that new TMNT Game being made by them and Team Ninja. Yes I go off topic a lot on this post.) and published by Enix.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s difficult to get a good picture of the game&#8217;s cartridge scan. I had to <a href=\"http:\/\/page16.auctions.yahoo.co.jp\/jp\/auction\/u29481658\">dig around Yahoo Japan Auctions<\/a> to find this picture<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/kiddocabbusses.tryhappy.net\/nothingforfree\/BS-X\/hammer_shop-img600x450-1223493133zluub224713.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Cartridge pic<\/p>\n<p>And as for in-game screenshots I&#8217;ll leave <a href=\"http:\/\/www.superfamicom.net\/title\/001118.html\">this link<\/a>. Yes. It&#8217;s a ridiculously plain Mahjong game. No wacky Mario Party cheating or Anime Girl stripping to distract you. and here I was kinda hoping that dragon on the box art would burninate the loser. But enough being corny out of me.<\/p>\n<p>As the cartridge top suggests, this had some level of Satellaview compatibility &#8211; exactly what, I dunno. Data packs are likely but this is one of the few where I don&#8217;t recall Data Packs for the game being mentioned in any undumped lists or schedules. Kinda confusing. (Any help on this, native Japanese folks? *sad puppy eyes* )<\/p>\n<p>One notable thing I tried to do loading the game is open the second option (going down from the top-left, as opposed to the second one going right from the top-left), only to get a screen that looks like a message that forces me back to the previous menu. I wonder&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"ca-pub-5308582010420588\";\n\/* Sega Pico (Banner) *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"4040450529\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 468;\ngoogle_ad_height = 60;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes I search diligently for things that I just can&#8217;t seem to obtain.
