What it is

SUNSOFT Shanghai Legend is the first-party publisher’s modern Mahjong Solitaire / Shanghai tile-matching puzzle: clear stacked layouts by pairing identical free tiles. The official SUNSOFT product page covers the Nintendo Switch release (SHANGHAI LEGEND) with 300+ stages plus Legend modes (Beijing, Great Wall); SUNSOFT also publishes a free Android Mahjong Solitaire Shanghai build under the same Shanghai franchise.

Who it’s for

Players who want classic Shanghai-style solitaire (match-two free tiles) from the original Shanghai publisher, including a Switch edition with hundreds of stages and co-op, rather than a generic web portal or a Windows inbox Mahjong Titans clone.

Why it’s listed

Plaza needs a citeable first-party solitaire / tile-matching title that is not already on disk (not Microsoft, MobilityWare, Arkadium, Brainium, Mahjong Deluxe, Mahjong Club/GamoVation, TrySolitaire, Pyramid, Treasure Quest, Sheriff, or Zygomatic).
