I thought I'd post that, because it's quite unbelievable how great the DS does in Japan.

Now there's a good idea. They should make a cart of Japanese Training. A couple of volumes of it too. You could learn how to make the proper strokes while writing, similar to the Java Applets you see on the web. I'd purchase it (them) for sure.

I saw this over on Joystiq. This is definately good news for Nintendo. It's interesting how Animal Crossing is still in the top ten - it has been out for a while. I'm not suprised that the Final Fantasy 3 remake is number one, I read that they went insane over the launch of it.

There are some titles in the making to improve Kanji skills, but unfortunately only in Japan and not geared towards foreigners.
When I have time later I might search for those on amazon Japan and post them.
