Most of us won't play these, obviously. Recap noticed two new releases from Capcom on the japanese cellphone front. The first game is an adaptation of Quiz Nanairo Dreams Nijiirotyou no Kiseki. If you want to get into that kind of game, there are easier ways, such as the recent (and quite enjoyable) Kono Quiz Yarou!! from Namco on DS. The other title is apparently an original game, though it seems Capcom borrowed an idea from an old rival. Taisen Mahjong! JanBattle features various Street Fighter characters in a classic taisen mahjong game, though there is a nice cosplay system included. Check Chun-Li as a cop or Ken as Dante on the screenshots. Street Fighter characters have already appeared in a Dreamcast mahjong game, Taisen Net Gimmick: Capcom & Psikyo All Stars, a 'gaiden' episode of the famous Hot Gimmick series - mathew reviewed a recent episode. It also featured cosplay... though with other intentions.
