Yakuman DS
2005 video game
Yakuman DS[lower-alpha 1] is a Mahjong video game developed by Nintendo and Mediakite and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS. It is a successor to Nintendo's 1989 Game Boy game Yakuman.[1][2] It features modern Japanese Mahjong rules (with riichi and dora) and various characters from the Mario video game series.
The original version was released in Japan in March 2005 by Nintendo.[3] In September of the following year they re-released the game with an online mode and the revised title Yakuman DS with Wi-Fi Support[lower-alpha 2].[4] Both versions were released only in Japan and with predominantly Japanese text.
In Japanese Mahjong, the term yakuman can refer both to the rare high-scoring limit hands and to the largest score limit that can be applied to a winning hand under Japanese Mahjong scoring rules.
