NDS Shanghai DS 2 - Import Preorder

NCS Preorder Synopsis
«©NCSX» Back in the day when the Mac was black & white and 3.5" floppies with a capacity of 1.44MB were the media of choice, NCS was playing Shanghai on our trusty Mac SE. The black & white mahjong tiles were crisp and clear but the game got tedious after the 2nd 3rd 5th game. The Shanghai brand is still making the rounds in the world of entertainment and it's coming back to the NDS in a couple of months. The gameplay is probably still tedious but at least the new NDS version allows up to four people to play the game together and make a party of it. Shanghai DS 2 is a matching game. A whole host of mahjong tiles appear on the playboard and the goal is to match pairs of tiles to wax them from the screen. Shanghai DS2 features single-player game modes such as "Challenge" which enforces a time limit, "Freedom" which is free-play, and "Great Wall" which features stacks of tiles. Two multi-player modes may be enjoyed: "Battle Gold" and "Battle Party" where up to four players compete against each other in tile-matching action. Preorders ship on Sept 23, 2010.
