Capcom releases Japanese textbook about video games
Capcom has published an educational textbook in Japan called "Secrets of video games" to teach children about the games industry and culture. (Our zany Google translation of the book's title from Capcom's press release called it "May be the Gakken cartoon the [hi] of the series video game which is understood to see.")
The textbook, presented in Manga form, is part of gakken's series of books aimed at teaching children complicated topics in a simple manner (i.e. comics). According to a translation by Canned Dogs, the book teaches children "the things that a game creator does, the development process in creating a game, how games affect the brain, and also how economically competitive the game industry is."
"Secrets of video games" was distributed to 24,000 primary schools and 2,700 public libraries in Japan.
