Play Shougi Zanmai (Japan) Online
You fumble through shogi at first, but the AI crushes you fast—soon you're obsessing over every pawn trade, restarting matches just to crack its brutal strategies. The clean 16-bit board makes those long stares at possible moves feel oddly satisfying.
Shougi Zanmai came out for the Super Nintendo in 1992, developed by Hect. It was one of the few dedicated shogi games on the system, offering a straightforward digital take on the traditional Japanese board game during a time when the SNES library was heavy on action and RPGs.
You control the pieces from a top down perspective, moving them across a 9x9 grid with the goal of capturing your opponent's king. The game features standard shogi rules, including piece drops, where captured units can be returned to the board under your control. Matches can be played against a computer opponent with selectable difficulty levels, and the pacing is deliberate, demanding careful consideration of each move. It feels like a quiet, focused test of patience and foresight.
