One of the coolest things about this nongame is that it will ship with a special brush stylus. That alone has us starry-eyed in love with Calligraphy Training, but that's not even all the game has to offer. Apparently, the game has a multiplayer mode that lets up to six players compete over who's calligraphy is the most accurate. We're sure that's a better idea in theory than in practice, but it's still a nice feature.
Game Watch also reports that there's a quest mode included in Calligraphy Training, as you'll be helping a wanderer to perfect 3099 different characters. Not bad for a simple little calligraphy game, Nintendo.
Before you think "neat" and then forget about this game for the rest of time, you can head on over to its official website to watch some video footage, should you feel so inclined.

Hmm, this sounds like a really cool concept. Any word [or pics] on what the stylus looks like?

No, I wish!
But if I find pictures of the stylus, and if it looks awesome, I'll post them :)

Kind of hard to see the brush part, but here's a picture of the stylus:

I'm not sure, but since it has a special brush stylus, I'd bet that there's some sort of special recognition that goes on.
