Make 10: A Journey to Europe
Tashiten: Tashite 10 Ni Suru Monogatari recently appeared on the OFLC's ratings database in Australia, and has now been officially announced in ... Europe (a.k.a. Land of the Training Game), where it will be released as Make 10: A Journey of Numbers.That title is something of a misnomer, for the game is really only about one number. In over 30 different minigames, players have to add or subtract numbers to make ten, all while being guided through the "Make 10 Kingdom" by a pixie called "Num Diddly." They'll crowbar a story into anything nowadays, we suppose. Still, it's refreshing to see a Nintendo-published non-game abandon the austere presentation of Brain Training/Math Training, and opt for something more colorful.Whereas Make 10 launched on the tenth day of the tenth month last year in Japan, the European version has a thoroughly unfunny release date: September 26th. If we can no longer find humor in release schedules, what else is there?[Via press release]
Nintendo planning to Make 10 in Australia
It looks like the latest of Nintendo's training games to get localized will be Tashiten: Tashite 10 Ni Suru Monogatari, a Nintendo-published math training/adventure game about adding up to 10 in various, clever ways. A game called Make 10: A Journey of Numbers, developed by Tashiten developers Muu Muu, is now listed on Australia's OFLC ratings database.If past training games are any indication, we can expect to see Make 10 in both Europe and Australia, where it will be a high-profile release -- but not high-profile enough for Nintendo of America to care. After the break, we've embedded a short, adorable commercial.
Tashiten: training to the power of ten
Nintendo's new math game will teach you to recognize ten in its natural habitat. Tashiten: Tashite 10 Ni Suru Monogatari is all about adding and subtracting to make onscreen numbers add up to 10.That sounds really limiting, but the screenshots show at least five different games, all based on making numbers add up to 10. Apparently the game contains more than 30 different tasks.Naturally, this game will release on October 10, at a cost of 1000 yen 4800 yen (we suppose that making money supercedes keeping to a theme.)
