Another Great Use for your PSP!!

It's a fun gadget ... but nothing more. I wouldn't heavily rely on it when going abroad (some thing as with online translation machines)

It's because the Japanese visit the U.S/England, Korea, China more than Germany, Italy and Spain. It's mainly due to preference.

Here's the software for the DS.

Interesting.

Shame the languages are only available in seperate cartridges. And when this gets released in the UK (which it hopefully will), here's hoping they'll release a Japanese cartridge, coz if they do I guess I could make more use with my DS with it then. ^^

Also, is it me or are Video Games suddenly getting more educational?

Only in other parts of the world. The U.S. is mainly focused on killing and death games. This is what pisses me off. The closest educational games we get here is Brain Age (東北大学未来科学技術共同研究センター川島隆太教授監修 脳を鍛える大人のDSトレーニング) and Big Brain Academy (やわらかあたま塾).

The American version might have chinese in it beacuse its a major trade country . My school district might require kids to take chinese classes. And thats why I think our's will have chinese

@ Michael Joe Red Mask: The DS game looks not as good as the PSP, also you have to buy a diffrent game for each language? like one of them is Japanese -> English & one is Japanese -> Korean like that?

It is because the PSP has UMD discs while the DS has a tiny cartridge. The UMD holds more space than the DS cartridge.

Ah, I see. Does the DS have the mic too?

The DS already has a built-in microphone so you're good to go. Check out the videos in that Nintendo JP website and it shows you two Japanese women taking a trip to China and using their DS to get around town.

Maybe they should try mixing their killing and death games together to create a video game that's bloody AND educational!!

Here's an idea "Death Maths"!!!

Where you get to kill innocent victims by answering a round of Maths Questions (EG: 2+2) Correctly, and your victim dies. Answer it incorrectly and your victim stays alive and you die.

Also available: "Death Science", "Death Geography", "Death English", "Death Music", "Death Languages", "GCSE Death", "SATs Death"..

For PlayStation 1, 2, 3 and Portable, XBox, XBox 360, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo GameBoy Advance, Nintendo DS, and, er.. Sinclair Spectrum ZX!! :laugh:
