Nintendo of Japan’s first Wii game for 2012 is Kiki Trick. The title was first revealed in an investor’s briefing and details about the Wii game were kindly leaked by a Japanese retailer.

 

The game’s title is a pun since "kikitori" means listening comprehension and that’s what Kiki Trick is about. Kiki Trick begins with the player hearing a marvelous voice… in a noisy setting, which makes it hard to understand. In the game, you have to try to figure out what the voice is saying over background noise like people talking. Another mode called "ear pro" has players identify sounds in eight clamorous settings.

 

Kiki Trick also has a four player listening battle mode where tries to hear what the marvelous voice is saying. While you’re playing the game you can collect fifteen types of sound goods to listen to.

 

Kiki Trick comes out on January 19, 2012 in Japan.
