April bonus: NES Works Gaiden Epoch #07
🕑 Added 2023-04-18 00:30:35 +0000 UTCExciting (?) news, everyone! Another episode of NES Works Gaiden Epoch has arrived as your (timed) exclusive bonus for the month. I suspect this will be the least interesting episode of this entire series, because it tackles three extremely standard takes on three more or less mandatory entries for Japanese consoles: Golf, Mahjong, and Baseball. Stick a "Super" in front of each of those words and you have the titles of Epoch's trio. The Super Cassette Vision library had far weirder offerings, so maybe it's good that we work through the boring stuff up front.

Likely! I think it could also mean that no one ever bothered to create additional overlays for the numpad, so there was never a reason to remove the one from Mahjong.

The fact both SCV units you got had the mahjong overlay on them says a lot about Japanese gamers. Whats the guess that that's mostly what those owners used the console for? A standalone mahjong machine if you will. Especially once these got discounted in price.
