Play Ide Yousuke Meijin no Jissen Mahjong 2 (Japan) Online

Ide Yousuke Meijin no Jissen Mahjong 2 is a 1992 Nintendo Entertainment System release from I'Max, a developer known for its mahjong and simulation titles. It arrived late in the NES lifecycle, a time when many players were already moving to the 16-bit consoles, but it offered a dedicated and serious take on Japanese mahjong for those still invested in the 8-bit system.

You play as a lone competitor aiming to climb the ranks by defeating a series of computer opponents in four-player matches. The core gameplay involves drawing and discarding tiles to form specific winning hands, all while carefully observing the discards and declared calls of your rivals to avoid feeding them a winning tile. Two signature mechanics are the riichi declaration, which announces you are one tile from victory and locks your hand, and the constant pressure of managing your score through risky, high-value hands versus safer, quicker wins. The pacing is deliberate and the AI can be punishing, making every discard a tense decision. It feels like a stern but fair test of your ability to read the table and control your nerves.
