Last month in Japan, I picked up three DS kanji games in Akihabara:
First of all, I bought the Rakubiki Jiten Dictionary, that I wrote about a few months ago. It’s really nice, I like the jump feature which allows me to understand words I don’t know the definition of the word I’m looking up. The big drawbacks of this software are the start up time, and character recognition takes forever, they’ll need to speed that up in the next version.
The next title I found was 200万人の漢検とことん漢字脳 (middle). I’ve been studying using this game the most. It’s easy to use and gives my mind a good workout during the morning ride to work.
Finally, I purchased なぞっておぼえる大人の漢字練習 (top-left), which is supposed to be a kanji game for adults. I haven’t used it much, but my wife found it amusing during our long train rides in Japan.
I’ll try to do some in-depth write-ups sometime.
