Play Saikousoku Shikou - Shougi Mahjong (Japan) Online

Saikousoku Shikou - Shougi Mahjong is one of those weird little SNES games that makes you go, "Wait, why didn’t anyone tell me about this sooner?" It’s shogi and mahjong smashed together, but faster—like someone cranked up the speed dial on both games and dared you to keep up.

The shogi side feels familiar if you’ve played Japanese chess before, except now you’re sweating over moves before the timer runs out. And the mahjong? Less about slow, careful matching and more about snapping tiles into place before your opponent does. The pixel art’s got that cozy SNES charm, even if the menus are all in Japanese (but hey, icons are universal, right?).

It’s niche, sure, but there’s something weirdly satisfying about flipping between two totally different strategy modes mid-game. Just don’t blame me when you start muttering tile combinations under your breath.
