Limited Edition Product Synopsis
«©NCS»
The limited edition of Idol Janshi Suchie Pai 4
includes three bonus items as follows:
» Fixed-posed Suchie-Yuki toy figure
» Art booklet which collects Kenichi Sonada
sketches and artwork
» Suchie-Pai series "Art Collection Mode" data collection
DVD-Rom
The
Suchie-Yuki figure is dressed in a blue and
white maid's outfit that's frilly and decidedly
unorthodox. Maid outfit's are generally black and
white but Yuki's outfit is an avant-garde number
that would be right at home inside the confines of
Disney World. A circular base
with the "You & Me" restaurant logo is also
included for display purposes. Yuki measures
approximately 11cm or 4.33" tall and uses both of her hands to
lift up the sides of her dress as if preparing to
curtsy to the Queen.
The three bonus items are packaged along with Suchie-Pai 4 in a
4.5 x 7.75" cardboard box which is adorned with variant
cover artwork that's different from the image on the
regular edition of the game.

Suchie-Pai 4
Game Synopsis
«©NCS»
It's been nearly a decade since the last Suchie
Pai release but the girls are back for another
engaging mahjong stint. The redhead named Suchie-Pai S and her trademark Hissatsu Suchie Stick
serves as the hostess for the game where she'll
twirl, sparkle, and look fetching as the mahjong
action plays out. She's on your side and will do
her best to make sure the game goes your way -
even going so far as destroying an opponent's
winning tile to give the player another chance.
De-facto artist of the Suchie Pai series Kenichi
Sonoda also returns with a bevy of new
illustrations, new characters, and outfits for the girls to wear.
The setting of Suchie-Pai 4 is Akihabara in Tokyo and the mahjong
action takes place in seven eateries located
around town. There's the posh Cafe Gentry,
the casual coffee shop dubbed You & Me, and
the utilitarian Hell & Heaven where the MJ-playing
girls work and perfect their craft. At the outset,
Suchie Pai S engages the player in a practice
mahjong session before the action commences. In
our trial game this morning, the first opponent
that appeared was Reiko with a stash of 25,000.
After throwing out a few useless tiles, we spotted
a good one and then another one to complete our
hand and win the first game in 2 minutes flat...
Japanese Import Game Alert
Suchie-Pai 4 will only play on Japanese or Asian Playstation 2
and Playstation 3 consoles. It is not
compatible with USA or European Playstation 2 and
Playstation 3 consoles.

Game Notes
» The introductory cinema for Suchie-Pai 4
features a new-type rendition of the "Happy
Birthday" song and depicts the various gals in
fast-cut sequences against checkered patterns,
Cafe Gentry and other eateries.
» Press START and a Suchie-Yuki in a weird dress
welcomes the player into the world of Suchie Pai
4. The following selections pop up on an inset
window on the right side of the screen:
1) New Game
2) Load Game
3) Option
4) ??? (needs to be unlocked)
5) ??? (needs to be unlocked)
6) ??? (needs to be unlocked)
» When playing the first game against Suchie Pai and her bright
green eyes, she just sort of stands there like a
plank of wood, hands on her hips, as she waits for
you to make a move. Once you throw out a tile, she
swat the tile to the side, make her own move and
wait for your next move again. When she inevitably wins,
she'll perform a special move and exult for
herself. Audibly.
» All of the written dialogue in the game is
accompanied by voice acting.
» The girls featured in the game are as follows:
Mari - A pink haired cat-girl (well, we
think she's feline because of her cat ears) who
wears glasses
along with a pair of orange-colored cat slippers.
Kaoru - She looks like a princess who's
just exited from a castle and is on her way to
slay ogres. Kaoru carries a sword
strapped to her waist.
Remi & Sarichin - Blonde girl in a purple
dress with angel wings and red eyes. Her little
friend is a little purple imp named Sarichin.
Sakurako - The very vision of the
dark-haired village
girl next door.
Miyuri & Miruku - A fan-favorite returns
with bunny ears and multi-colored ribbons on her
white stockings. Her pet rabbit is named Miruku.
Suchie-Yuki - Another fan favorite returns
to the world of Suchie-Pai Mahjong and she's
dressed in a blue/white fairy tale maid's outfit.
Reiko - There are no words to describe the
ensemble she's wearing but Reiko nevertheless looks
reasonably presentable.
» When playing, you'll visit the girls at the
restaurants they work in and play mahjong right
there as music resonates in the background. When you
win, the girl will look exasperated as Suchie-Pai
counts down your winnings in the background. In
our first game against Reiko, we won 24,000
credits from her bankroll of 25,000. After each
match, you'll be able to engage in a Concentration
type game on a 6 x 4 grid where you'll flip over
squares in 1x1 increments in an attempt to find
matching bonuses. The greater your winnings in the
mahjong session, the more chances you'll have to
flip over squares to look for loot.
» In the second round against Reiko, she won
1400 credits back but the third round sealed her fate
where we won 12000 credits against her 2400 in remaining
funds which left her shaking her hands and with a
deficit of 9600. After beating Reiko, it was off
to the restaurant named "YOU & ME" where
Suchie-Yuki
earns her keep. Reiko tagged along with Suchie-Pai
and the three of them had a conversation before
Reiko was forced into a red bikini and laid out
against a white backdrop for a photography session. Gamers can view her
partially clothed body by moving the L-Analog
around and adjust the focus for sharper detail.
She'll make uncomfortable noises as she's being
exploited. To take a snapshot, press the R1
trigger once to focus and again to take the shot.
The L2 and R2 triggers are used to focus in and
out of the subject.
» After the voyeuristic episode, you'll be able to
save your progress to memory card. The next
opponent is Miyuri and her talking pet rabbit named Miruku.
Miyuri starts with a bankroll of 30000 but she's
embarrassingly easy to beat. For her photo shoot,
she wears black stockings and a dark blue school
uniform. If you focus the camera on her legs, her
feet may be seen wiggling around. Like true
piggies. The next opponent after Miyuri is Remi
and Sarichin.
» Suchie Pai is the perfect hostess. She's bubbly,
talks a lot, and keeps everything moving along
without a hitch. When a mahjong game is going
against you, she can even fly up into the screen
and destroy the tile that your opponent threw out
that would have made her a winner. You then have a
second chance to redeem your hand and attempt to
win.
» Consensus: Another enjoyable Suchie-Pai game
that'll appeal to fans of the franchise. For old
hands to the series, think of the game as a
reunion with Suchie-Pai, Miyuri, and Suchie-Yuki.
The new girls are adorable and the mahjong action
is somewhat challenging.
