Success Debuts Mahjong Game Parodying Trump at Tokyo Game Show
The parody lands as an addition to a mahjong game series that has run since 1987, placing Success's October Switch release inside a franchise rather than as a one-off novelty.

Success showed a demo and promotional video for Gyuwanbura Jikochushin-ha Doranpu Teikoku o Wakarasero! at its Tokyo Game Show booth. The mahjong game pulls 20 characters from Masayuki Katayama's manga franchise and adds two opponents: Great Dramp and Elon Musg, whose company Laste is building a gasoline-powered mahjong table. It launches in October on the Nintendo Switch for 5,280 yen.
The game takes its two new opponents from current American politics: Great Dramp and Elon Musg, listed as Dramp's greatest collaborator. Its story opens at Nankuru Prison on an otherwise uninhabited Okinawan island before moving to Dramp Tower in Manhattan. Masayuki Katayama's original Gyuwanbura Jikochushin-ha manga started in Kodansha's Young Magazine in 1982, and the game line began in 1987. Success has not said whether the release will be available internationally.
