Mahjong in Yakuza 2

English speaking mahjong fans might be interested to know that Yakuza 2 has a pretty nice mahjong mini game. As far as I know, it is the only English version of mahjong out there on consoles. The mini game is standard 4-player mahjong with Japanese rules. There are several different tables -- with different skill levels -- that you can play at and it even includes a rule and scoring reference. You visit the mahjong parlor during the early parts of the game's main storyline, so you'll have to play for a few hours before you have access to it. There may be other mahjong parlors that you can play at later in the game. I'll keep you posted.
