Play Super Mahjong Taikai (Japan) (Rev A) Online
Sliding mahjong tiles feels weirdly good on a SNES controller—the AI keeps you honest, and those crunchy tile sounds never get old.
Super Mahjong Taikai is one of those SNES games that makes you wonder why more people don’t talk about it. At first glance, it’s just mahjong—but the way it handles the rules and flow of the game feels surprisingly natural on a controller. The tiles have this satisfying weight when you select them, and the AI opponents actually put up a decent fight without feeling cheap.
I’ll admit, the menus are all in Japanese, but after a round or two, you start recognizing the patterns. There’s something about the pixel art too—the way the tiles click into place and the little animations when you complete a hand—that gives it way more personality than you’d expect. And that soundtrack? Pure early ‘90s SNES vibes, equal parts calming and weirdly intense when you’re down to your last few draws.
If you’ve ever wanted to try mahjong but found modern apps too sterile, this might be the perfect middle ground. It’s got just enough challenge to keep you hooked without overwhelming you.
