EA is all up in your business

EA's Business Ryoku Kentei DS (Business Power Certification DS) is just another of those weird training games that is bound in Japan forever, never to leave. But would foreign audiences really dig a game about improving your sales ability? Maybe they could get the developers of this game, who are no doubt sales maestros, to convince people.

Business Ryoku Kentei is designed to train salarymen in four different aspects of business life, as originally presented in a series of four books: general "sales power," sales talk, customer service, and accounting (which includes understanding, and thus not getting angry about, cash flow). The idea is that poor overworked businessmen can train with this over their lunch breaks. Sounds like it's being made with EA employees in mind.
