(So I decided to check this blog post out and found out Computer Mah-jong Yakuman likely released on October 18, 1983, 2 months after Famicom Mahjong's August 1983 release: http://blog.beforemario.com/2012/01/nintendo-computer-mah-jong-yakuman.html) |

While the first two games on the Famicom were called ''Mahjong'' and ''4 Nin Uchi Mahjong'', respectively, the name ''Yakuman'' was first used in a Game Boy Mahjong game, and would be used in every succeeding Mahjong game published by Nintendo afterward (with the exceptions of ''Zoo-tto Mahjong!'' and ''Yōsuke Ide no Kenkō Mahjong DSi''). While the ''Yakuman'' name has remained in Japan, Nintendo has included multiple Mahjong variations in their ''Clubhouse Games'' series, and Hamster Corporation has released ''Arcade Archives Vs. Mah-Jong'', the arcade version of Nintendo's first Mahjong game. | ||
