PSP and DS games, and language
i was reading this article in CNET about PSP Games Slumping in Japan and noticed that the top titles there for both the PSP and the Nintendo DS, all the top rated games in Japan are different than the ones on the top of the list here.
that got me to thinking... my kids seem to get around videogames pretty well without being able to read - could they play these titles and enjoy them without being able to read Japanese?
well the good news is i'm going to Japan this week, so we'll be able to find out. i definitely want to bring back a few of these to see how the top of the top holds up against the U.S. favorites. i'll report back with my findings...
