    The next game in our Neo Geo survey, NGH-036, Bakatonosama Mahjong Manyuki, mahjong game from Monolith, is based on a Japanese TV character portrayed by Ken Shimura. The game has no English mode, so are we missing out on anything interesting?
    We're going through the Neo Geo collection, with footage from real hardware, not emulators. Check out top games to play on the Neo Geo console, Neo Geo Mini, Neo Geo MVSX hack, or Neo Geo MVS cabinet.

    I look forward to your review of Crossed Swords when that gets released. It was (before Fatal Fury and even King of The Monsters... yes) considered a killer app for the system as it did get quite a bit of promotion past the launch of the system.

    I remember years ago seeing this game at an import store in NYC growing up Alec. At the time, I really had no idea what to make of it. I mean I was like in total disbelief. But at the same time, I wanted to add this into my collection. 8^)
    Eventually I did and never bothered playing it due to being in Japanese. But after seeing this video, I've gained knowledge that the light dawns on me regarding it. Thank you Alec. 8^)
    Your video was posted onto the Neo-Geo thread by one of our members on AtariAge for others to take notice and to help with additional exposure bro. Thank you for sharing this with us and now I truly learned more about this Mahjong game than ever before. 8^)

    I quite like that slight bobblehead art style in video game graphics, JJ & Jeff, Wayne's World, that arcade game about the band Journey heh. Just enough pixel resolution to get distinct details and recognizable faces.
    People outside Japan seem baffled by board games mixed with nudity, but I think I would play more Chess if it had intermissions featuring naked women.😄

    Bakatonosama also cameos in Kato and Ken in one of the secret rooms when playing as Kato. I think it was in world 1-2...
    Cuz the secret rooms were basically skits featuring Kato and Ken's characters with dialogue written in the same style as Gokigen TV and everything.

      On the Neo, I feel that Quest of Jongmaster and Final Romance 2 are much more interesting than Bakatonosama. Bakatonosama is tied with Minasan no Okagesama desu for least interesting.

    @Gearuz Рік тому +3

    This game is hilariously rigged. I tried this one since I love Mahjong and I had an emulator handheld I wanted to use. First I was surprised by the nudity, but then by how rigged the game is. The game sets both you and your opponent with either junk hands or incredible one-in-a-million hands... but generally for the opponent. You can also be waiting for a tile that is highly likely to appear, but it never does. I had to throw out all my Mahjong fundamentals out the window, as it felt like the game was what decided if you should win or lose. They really wanted you to buy those items, but since losing takes away points, and those are used as currency, you rarely will have a chance. I haven't tried other Mahjong games to see if they also work in the same way, but I was definitely not impressed by this one (at least not for the right reasons).
