Summary

According to Famitsu, ILLUMINATION and Infinite Loop's strip mahjong game "Super Real Mahjong Venus Returns" has officially launched today (August 27). This is the latest entry in the popular "Super Real Mahjong" series that once thrived in arcades across Japan. The game features 3D graphics, and players with VR devices can use VR mode for a more immersive experience. Notably, the game's crowdfunding campaign last year exceeded all expectations, with the original target of 2 million yen ultimately receiving 33,804,795 yen from 1,129 backers, achieving a remarkable 1690% funding rate. Thanks to fan support, the game includes full voice acting and a final climax, offering richer content than originally planned. For longtime fans, this title not only preserves the classic strip mahjong gameplay but also upgrades it with modern technology. The inclusion of VR mode aligns with current hardware trends. This launch marks the revival of a classic series in the modern era and also demonstrates the significant potential of crowdfunding in game development, as fan participation directly expanded the game's content, providing a new development approach for the industry. For players, whether or not they own a VR device, they can enjoy the visual upgrade of 3D graphics and the lively performances of fully voiced characters.
