I'd like to see more educational DS titles

Seriously! That'd make the DS take off.

Japan has a WEALTH of educational titles ranging from Kanji to English programs, which use all the DS' features. Why can't we get that over here? My guess is Nintendo UK don't have the balls to test the waters. I hope they do, because it'd show how much life there is in the concept... these things are currently the top DS products in Japan and widely advertised. It's so much more than just a games console.

The immensely popular series, DS Training for Adults: Work Your Brain, is supposed to be getting an English release soon.

Brain Flex and Brain Academy are both being released outside of Japan, and I think I heard about the English program being considered for release too. How's that for balls?

Nintendo UK. Not Nintendo Worldwide. They run almost as seperate companies depending on the market they cover.

Yes, Brain Flex and Brain Academy are both being released in the UK, as far as I know. What's you point?

I didn't know. And you are aggressive because...

Besides, the sheer wealth of interactive entertainment titles in Japan vastly outweigh that one title. There's tons of different kinds, some of which I couldn't understand because the boxes had little explaination.

bigjko · 02-11-2006, 04:38 AM

I wasn't trying to come off as agressive. I was just confused when you starting correcting me..'

And that's two titles, not one. And I agree, they should release even more. But at least it's a start.

squarejawhero · 02-11-2006, 04:50 AM

Thanks. It's a start for sure, and I'll keep my eye on how it turns out.

I would totally buy a language game, except if my INFURIATING Nintendog can't even recognize his name (Tito) I can't imagine how I'd fare trying to pronounce a word in a foreign language just right.

Hasn't it already taken off?
