Nintendo Keeps 2D DS Rolling With New Game This Month

Yes, the Nintendo 3DS is coming out soon, but Nintendo has not forsaken their original touch screen handheld. On January 20, Nintendo will release Little Charo Travels in English.

This Nintendo DS game is an English training title starring a character from an NHK television series. Little Charo is lost in New York and your job is to get him back to Tokyo. The poor dog needs your help and English (not dog?) language skills to return to his owner.

Little Charo Travels in English has players pick dialogue choices during the story and play mini-games. Like many edutainment Nintendo titles Little Charo Travels in English retails for a bit less than a standard DS game in Japan at 3,800 yen ($45).
