If you're into mahjong and still rocking an N64 (or an emulator), Ide Yosuke No Mahjong Juku is a solid pick. The graphics are surprisingly crisp for an N64 title—tiles pop with color, and the animations are smooth when you pull off a winning hand. At first, the AI feels manageable, but don’t get cocky—after a few rounds, it starts reading your moves like an old pro.
There’s a decent mix of modes, from quick matches to full tournaments, so you can jump in for a fast game or settle in for a longer session. The controls take a minute to get used to if you’re not familiar with N64’s awkward controller layout, but once it clicks, it’s weirdly satisfying slapping down tiles with the analog stick.
Not gonna lie, it’s niche—mahjong purists might stick to real tables, but if you want a no-frills digital version with some retro charm, this one’s worth a look. Just don’t blame me when you lose three straight games to the CPU’s suspiciously good luck.
