Atlus' new 3DS title: Mahjong Cub3D photo

This summer Atlus and Sunsoft are coming together to release a new 3DS title for North America. Mahjong Cub3D is...well, Mahjong in 3D. The 3DS makes 200 puzzles pop out of the screen, and a variant of classic mahjong has you matching tiles on a 3D cube. I guess the name says it all.

There's three game modes, with a 2-player versus mode included. For versus download play is supported. The new teaser page for the game says that you can spin 3D maps around to match tiles from all sides using the L and R buttons in Cube mode. What makes it hard is that you're racing against time in this mode. Classic mode looks more my speed, with flat maps piled vertically.

Oh, and there's Mahjong wallpaper.

Atlus says that Mahjong Cub3D will launch this summer for the 3DS.

Normally I hate the whole "numbers in place of letters" bit, but that Cub3D thing is actually pretty clever.

I just want competitive Mahjong. I get rather tired of breaking out my tiles only to have scores of people stop by the gaming table saying, "Holy fuck, this is a GAME? I thought you just stacked them and made matches like Memory."

I remember a Mahjong game in one of those magazines with CDs and while I didn't understand hell at the beginning (I didn't bother with instructions) I quickly got the hang of it and played it for hours on end. I can see myself getting addicted to this one too.

Is there even a mahjong game out there that isn't the matching bullshit?

Please no complaining about how this has been out for a while now. Not everyone sifts through gbatemp for the latest news. A clear concise writeup is a worthy read for most people. comparateur forfait mobile forfait b and you sms illimite forfait bloque forfait mobile
