Here's a really cool non-game from Success: it's a DS version of the Basho poetry collection
Oku no Hosomichi, (
The Narrow Road to the Deep North) in a form where you draw over each character as an actor reads the poem
. Enpitsu de Oku no Hosomichi DS is based on a similar book release, which featured the poems in grey print for readers to trace over, thereby forcing them to think about each
kanji as they read. It's a beautiful idea for a book release, and equally nice-sounding on the DS.
We know that it's basically an attempt to cash in on the
non-game craze, but
Enpitsu de Oku no Hosomichi DS is such a great idea that we don't care. More importantly, it makes a pretty strong case for the e-book, not only on DS but in general, with features that improve on the traditional print version.

Could be a good way to learn Japanese, but maybe I ask for too much. I'm desperate to learn a foreign language, but not desperate enough to take a traditional class. I'd love for my DS to tutor me.
