Description

"Game no Tatsujin 2," released exclusively in Japan for the Sega Saturn, is an engaging compilation that offers a treasure trove of traditional Japanese board games and puzzles. The sequel to the original "Game no Tatsujin," this title expands on its predecessor's offerings by including a diverse array of games such as Shogi, Mahjong, Hanafuda, and Go, catering primarily to enthusiasts of classic Japanese strategy games. Developed and published by ASK Kodansha in the mid-90s, the game capitalizes on the popularity of these traditional games, providing an authentic and accessible platform for both beginners and seasoned players to enjoy these classic engagements in a digital format.

The gameplay of "Game no Tatsujin 2" is designed to mirror the real-life experience of playing these classics, featuring detailed rulesets and strategic depth that challenge the player’s skill and intellect. The game's interface is straightforward, allowing for easy navigation between different games, and includes tutorials for newcomers, which break down the basics of each game's rules and strategies. The title didn’t make a significant impact outside of Japan, largely due to the regional popularity of the games included and language barriers. However, within its target audience, it served as a vital cultural link, helping to preserve and promote traditional Japanese games in the rapidly expanding video game market of the '90s.
