DS Brain Game Explosion

Famitsu sends word of three new Nintendo made brain games hot off the success of their Brain Training series success.

First up is a piece of software which teaches you to properly write Japanese characters. It takes the DS and turns it into the perfect character writing tutor.

Second is the program that teaches you how to cook and give you recipes for a large variety of dishes. It's coolest feature is the ability to "flip" the virtual cooking book pages by way of voice recognition so you don't have to get your dirty hands on the DS while cooking!

Then there's a travel guide which translates and has guides about China, South Korea, Germany, USA, and Thailand.

Oh man, I really hope they bring something over to the states so that we could learn to read and write Japanese on our DS'!

How come Japan gets all the cool stuff, and we here in the US have to wait, import, or not get it at all sometimes:(
