Morita Shougi (Japan)

Morita Shougi (Japan) is a Japanese chess (Shogi) game developed by Seta and released for the NES console. This game faithfully recreates the rules of Shogi, a complex board strategy game similar to chess but with its own unique rules.

Players control pieces on a 9x9 board. The main objective is to checkmate the opponent's king. A distinctive feature of Shogi is the ability to "drop" captured opponent's pieces back onto the board as your own. This creates significant strategic depth, as each move is not only an attack but also a calculation to capture pieces and use them later.

In Morita Shougi (Japan), players can choose to compete against the computer (AI) with various difficulty levels, from easy to very hard, suitable for both beginners and experienced players. The game's interface is clearly designed, showing the positions of the pieces and valid moves when a piece is selected.

The game also offers modes such as Practice or Tournament, helping players hone their skills and challenge themselves. The game's sound and graphics, while simple, are sufficient for players to concentrate on the game. This is an excellent choice for anyone who loves Japanese chess and wants to experience it on the classic NES platform.
