Drifting to and fro through Tokyo, I found some other interesting things. There seems to be a huge influx of software for the Nintendo DS using games to teach English for the TOEIC (Test Of English for International Communication) test in Japan. Nintendo itself has even developed one, Eigo ga Nigate na Otona no DS Training: Motto Eigo Duke. Just going through one store, I counted at least seven of these games, not counting the multitude of dictionaries and kanji dictionaries that fit so well with the touchscreen on the DS. Even the PSP is not exempt with phrasebooks such as Talkman.
