New DS Training games: Write a recipe on a postcard
Gamebrink brings word that Famitsu has updated their website with some information on three new Training games slated for the Japanese DS. In a continual effort to enhance the human race, Nintendo is now aiming their hugely popular and diverse educational series at the realms of writing, cooking and traveling.The first title allows you to improve your skills at writing Japanese characters which, if our Google translation is to be believed, leads to "elegant prose". We're particularly interested in this one because, quite frankly, our Japanese writing skills are anemic at best. Following that, there's an exciting cooking program that teaches you how to construct gourmet dishes via an entire virtual cookbook. With its inclusion of voice recognition, you can even have it turn the page when your hands are too busy strangling an uncooperative piece of dough. All our past efforts in the kitchen have ended in disaster, so we'll definitely be importing this one as well.Finally, we have an interactive travel guide of sorts that should give you a helping hand when you're trying to find the nearest tourist attraction in China, South Korea, Germany, USA, or Thailand. With each one of our overseas excursions resulting in disgraceful international incidents, we'd best buy this one as soon as it releases. Really, we'd be so much better off once Nintendo releases Everything Training. [Thanks mandarin!]
