AtomInside Nintendo’s Magic Taizen
One of the more interesting Touch Generation titles Nintendo released in Japan is Magic Taizen, a collection of magic tricks for the DS. Unlike other DS titles it comes in a large Electroplankton sized box and it’s bundled with a deck of playing cards. Before Nintendo made it big in the video game business they manufactured playing cards and this special deck of cards has Barbara the Bat, the mascot from Daigasso Band Brothers as the Joker. Another interesting flyer Magic Taizen comes with is a brochure for the Nintendo Wii. It’s dated around the same time as the Wii’s launch and it was a clever pack in to inform the non gamer audience that Magic Taizen is designed for about Nintendo’s new console.

I wanted to buy this game from play-asia, but it looked like one of those games that would be impossible to play without knowing Japanese. Is that true?
I’d love to see some pictures of gameplay!

I’ve seen some Jpn TV spots before and it seems like you use the DS and the cards together to present your tricks to the audience. The people in the commercials seem to be really impressed when the DS can guess the card they picked. I’ve been wanting to get this game for a long time too but not sure if it’s fun.
