  1. Mah Jong? by Cowclops · · Score: 5, Funny

    A third of the release day games are mahjong.

    I guess those Japanese GOTTA have their mahjong.

      It's not just mahjong; it's a mahjong *fight club*. Now you know that's intense.

      It's not just mahjong. It's widescreen mahjong!

    Personally, I can't wait for "Mah-jongg grapple club".

  4. Gameboy icon by ttys00 · · Score: 4, Funny

    I bet Sony is impressed that Slashdot gave them a Gameboy icon. From the 1989 Gameboy no less.

    There are other types of games?

    I for one would love to have my pink lizard spreading love to an all-girl japanese school.

    What's your definition of fun?

  6. Re:Translation by generic-man · · Score: 5, Funny

    Actually, "Mah-Jongg Fight Club" is the original name of the game. I've seen it in Japanese arcades. You "fight" on-line.

    Of course, I just violated the first rule of Mah-Jongg Fight Club...

    There will be lots of DS systems sitting under the tree this year. There won't be any DS systems there.

    You mean no PSP systems?

    Which system would you develop for if you were EA?

    Both, since I force my developers to work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week with little or no compensation.

    Ah, but one of these titles is Konami's Mahjong Fight Club:
