Pro Mahjong Kiwame II on SNES is one of those games that looks simple at first—just matching tiles, right?—until you realize how deep the strategy goes. The moment you start, the game throws you into a clean, no-nonsense interface with that classic 90s mahjong vibe. No flashy distractions, just you and the tiles.

What I like is how it doesn’t hold your hand. You pick a mode, and suddenly you’re scanning rows of tiles, trying to remember which combinations actually score points. The AI isn’t messing around either—it’ll punish sloppy plays fast. Took me a few rounds to stop just grabbing whatever looked familiar and actually think ahead.

If you’ve played other mahjong games, this one feels more… focused? Like it’s for people who already know the rules but want a pure, no-frills challenge. The music’s low-key, the visuals are crisp, and yeah, it’s definitely nostalgic—but in a way that makes you want to get better, not just reminisce. Just don’t expect to win right away.
