TGH writes: Puzzle and “test” games found a real home very early in the DS’ lifecycle. Games like Brain Age were really the definitive pieces of software for a good chunk of the systems existence. We’ve yet to see any of that resurface on the 3DS, but that’s all change with the release of Mahjong Cub3d.
I didn’t even know that this game existed, but if you own a 3DS and want some Mahjong on it, Amazon.ca has cut the price by 48%.
Overall, what makes Mahjong Cub3d good is its simplicity. It isn’t hard to pick up, it is challenging, and visually, it looks pretty good. It's fun and its simple gameplay offers a new and welcomed puzzle presence on the 3DS.
Not sure if I would pick this up, but it looks like a solid buy for fans of Mahjong.
GameShark - It’s hard not to love Atlus sometimes. They bring over interesting (and often charmingly odd) games from Japan (and Chile, in the case of the recent, bizarro Rock of Ages); that are almost always worth playing and talking about. While the timing is less than ideal for Mahjong Cub3d (this is a tiny little title in a big sea of October blockbusters), it certainly carries on that tradition. An innovative 3D take on the classic Chinese matching game, it’s attractive, packed with content, and addictive in the best way.
This game is great for Mahjong fans I guess, but I wont be picking it up.
