I enjoy the relaxing qualities of Majong games from time to time and was thinking that it'd be a perfect fit for the GBA.

However, the only ones i can find listed as having been released are Japanese titles.

Are there any for the GBA in English or are any of the Japanese ones language friendly?

Which is the best one?

ps. as a side note which is the best NDS Mahjong title? (and yes i know this is the classic forum but this is simply a sidenot to my main GBA query).

Thankyou for your time.

Are you talking about Mahjong Solitaire (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahjong_solitaire) or the complex multiplayer strategy game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahjong) ?

try Shanghai Pocket for the GBC... it works just fine on the GBA, it's all in English, and in my opinion it's one of the best mahjong games ever made

I don't understand why they never released any mahjong games for the GBA here either... I agree it's perfect for a handheld, so why didn't we get any?

I'll piggy back on this by specifically asking for the multi-player version, not solitaire. I have a friend who wants to learn, and I think that me being able to play it solo a few times may help the process out. I have trouble learning some games just by reading rules

There's a fairly large number of different rules for the table-top gambling version, just like our card games.
