Super Shogi 3: Kitaihei

About

Super Shogi 3: Kitaihei brings the tactical depth of Japanese chess to the Super Famicom. As a sequel to the 1994 release, it refines turn-based strategy with adjustable difficulty levels and multiple board sizes. Players move pieces with directional controls, capturing opponents while protecting their own king. The interface balances simplicity with enough depth to challenge seasoned players. This title stands out for its polished AI and variety of modes. Over 200 preloaded puzzles test different strategies, and a time attack mode adds urgency to matches. Though it’s a niche title, retro strategy fans praise its clean design and responsive controls. With a 4.2/5 average from Japanese retro gaming sites, it remains a respected entry in Shogi adaptations for handhelds.
