There's plenty of DS language training available for kids in Japan, but language software elsewhere seems to be focused on either adults or ... whoever Spanish for Everyone was supposed to be for. Virgin PLAY is taking advantage of this gap by releasing a series of language training games designed for kids, based on Berlitz language training materials. The series also covers the one language that gamers always clamor for in language-learning materials: Japanese.The first two Mind Your Language games planned for release this summer (in Europe, we believe) include Learn English and Learn Spanish. But Berlitz and developer Spiral House are also working on three more programs to teach French, German, and Japanese, to be released this fall.

I've been wondering when they'll have a Japanese training game for English-speaking users. I hope they come up with a similar game for adults and not just for kids.

I'm dying for someone to release a Japanese training game in the US. Seriously, do they not realize how many gamers want to learn Japanese so they can play imports?
