Yoshimoto Mahjong Club

Yoshimoto Mahjong Club is a comedy-themed mahjong game featuring 26 real-life comedians from talent agency Yoshimoto Kogyo, based on a TV show that ran on SUN-TV between 1997 and 1999.

The featured stars are all represented both in live-action video clips and fully-3D in-game models, including voice clips of their signature quips.

The Sega Saturn (1994/1995) struggled commercially against the PlayStation despite strong 2D capabilities and a library beloved by shoot-'em-up and RPG fans. Its relatively low sales translated directly into low print runs for many games, making the Saturn one of the more expensive retro platforms to collect completely — several titles now sell for hundreds of euros in good condition.

Gamevaro tracks Yoshimoto Mahjong Club for Sega Saturn with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Yoshimoto Mahjong Club to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This SAT release dates back to 1998.

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Yoshimoto Mahjong Club, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Sega Saturn titles.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
