Learn Chinese with the DS ...

If you already read Japanese really well, that is -- because Touch de Nihao is a Chinese language-learning program for Japan.

Touch de Nihao is a utility program designed to help Japanese people get around in Chinese (Mandarin, we assume). It features a translation function that translates words written on the screen, as well as subway maps of Shanghai and Beijing.

The screenshots seem to show some sort of lessons, as well, or a dictionary organized by subject. The screen here, with the, uh, thing enjoying a beverage, is titled Nomimono (drinks) -- indicating some kind of subject page.

We probably won't see an English-Chinese version of Touch de Nihao, but we'd like to. We're fans of DS language learning.

The witch hunt goes international

SNK's Doki Doki Majo Shinpan has been doing great business in preorder, and seems to be getting a lot of attention. Now it looks like SNK is responding to this success by marketing the game in ... China! A new translated version of the website has appeared, offering the same content in Chinese. No, it doesn't help us any, but at least they're thinking about some international marketing. That's one baby step closer to an English localization, right?

The Japanese page has been updated too, with the screen cleaner shown above (which some Japan-based reader should really think about securing for us) and new screens of the first-person Magic Battle Mode. Apparently, somehow, you can do something to upset the girls. Just touch the "Read" button to ~~determine if it's a witch~~ check out the screens.

Kanji Ken's boxart: the legend continues

Kanji Ken's packaging doesn't look like anything you would expect from other "training games," but you could say the same about its teaching methods. The educational title eschews traditional academic themes, opting instead for a style that drills students on Chinese characters through kung-fu battles that play out on the handheld's topscreen.

The game's cover art shows its martial arts hero at the crest of his flying kick, clutching a Nintendo DS Lite. A collage of characters surround his dynamite pose, each one more enthralling than the last! There's a drunken kung-fu fighter, an inviting blonde with no visible end to her dress' plunging neckline, and a sinister robot looming in the background. The Great Wall of China is thrown in to sweeten the deal.

Head past the post break for a better look at Kanji Ken's casing and a new screenshot of the menacing automaton.

Kanji Ken commercial with a Chinese connection

We're not exactly sure about the specifics behind Kanji Ken, but we couldn't just pass on sharing this offbeat commercial with our readers! The 27-second spot has a Kung-Fu Theatre feel to it, supporting our suspicions that this is some sort of training game for learning Kanji -- Chinese characters that have been incorporated into the Japanese writing system.

Developers Success Corp. (Touch Detective, Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja) put up a teaser site for Kanji Ken, but there hasn't been much information posted besides this "Kanji Dragon" video. Watch the commercial after the break.
