I like how every game with anime girls in it gets called a dating sim by the western audience. Mahjong games, Adventure games, puzzle games. Doesn't matter. "All those japanese do is play dating sims all day".

You forgot about the quiz games.




Best cover ever?

I thought Taisen Net Gimmick was Mahjong.

It is.

Mahjong indeed. But what non-japanese would think a game with a cover like that would be a board game?
Whatever it is, it's good that it stays in Japan. Now get back to making shmups dammit.

Like I said in the Pochi to Nya thread, Mahjong and Puzzle games are a cheap way for shmup developers to cash in and help stay in business so they can keep releasing niche shooters that don't make any money.

Yeah, but Psikyo's never made one. Just Mahjong and the occasional Quiz game. 90% of what people assume are dating sims aren't.

Well, for a non-japanese I don't understand why they find joy in these sort of games anyway. Personally I stay as far away as possible from these dating, mahjong and quiz games. As soon as Psikyo comes back to classic arcade gaming I'll be there.

Majong games are all the same. Quiz, Adventure, and Dating games are cool though.
