Learning a language takes more than a couple of minutes a day on a DS, so if the purpose of the program is to learn a language, those who are dedicated will most likely have to carry the DS around like a PDA. Not that that's a bad thing. I really wonder if people who bought this program will continue using it even after the DS is phased out as an “old system”.

I mean, they already have tons of kanji learning games and a few Japanese/English dictionary games. As always, the U.S. and Japanese markets are very different; a good example is how popular FPS are in the U.S., whereas in Japan, they are not. However, as many of us are import gamers, we still win -- if the U.S. doesn't get this, we can always import. I think this “game” has lots of potential, but probably only in Japan.

People wio want to learn a different language are probably not going to buy a DS to do it. And most people who own a DS aren't going to want to spend time learning how to speak a different language on it. However, I may be wrong. If they market the product really well then it's possibly the DS might catch on as a learning tool. Also depends on how good the program actually is.
