Yakuman DS [a] 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 [b]. [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.
The game sold poorly at less than 40.000 copies across both versions. [5]
