Alternatives to Rosetta Stone Japanese (i.e. Should I buy Rosetta Stone?)
The homebrew games are loaded with the R4 chip. If you need the link IM me Koichi.... A lot of my coworkers and brother have the loader :)
I would just search for "kanji dictionary nintendo ds" to find it, but that is indeed the name for it. If you put the kanji directly in, you'll find some japanese sites on it, but I imagine you want the English ones, right? :) It looks like you can buy it from play-asia.com
OBJECTION~!
Most of these games are import games, but they work perfectly in and DS. The kanji dictionary game is called, as DBV kindly pointed out: 漢字そのまま. If you are interested in this game, just type in something like "kanji dictionary nintendo DS game" and stuff will come up. Just making a quick round, I found it on play-asia.com, though I'd go around a little and see if you can't find better prices on ebay or something.
The reason it makes me so interested to hear that the DS has this type of software is because one could simply pop in a variety of cartridges and hope that enough developers come up with the functions you wanted.
I'll look myself for reviews comparing these dictionaries to post up, and please let me know what you find, too.
thanks and ganbarou
but tbh, lately, the best way i've been learning more japanese is by playing online games with the japanese :D
games education? sonna bakana
i was going to buy a casio kanji dictionary where you can have similar function to the 1st game [そのまま楽引く辞典].. でも、ホンマに高いや!! its like 30000yen.. well, its expensive for me atleast x______X
and damn i dont have CC or paypal so its pretty hard for me to buy things online (thank god i can still get my CDs and DVDs from cdjapan by registered mail :3)
Nevertheless, its my favorite kanji learning software fo Nintendo DS.
Great blog!
Keep on researching about Fast Food Nations- maybe you come to Vienna in Austria one day and discover, that Burgers here are much much m uch smaller than in Japan or in the Us.

The only other DS software I use is Kanken DS by rocket at http://www.rocketcompany.co.jp/ It's approved by the people that run the paper test and is great for writing practice, economically friendly too because you don't waste so much paper. ;-)
the price including shipping fee will be 6870-7400yen, which is VERY cheap indeed.
It is so helpful. Man, I want so many new games. I guess I'll just have to wait.
Still trying to figure it out though, still in the middle of the basic japanese course.
\ (^-^) /
Thanks for the post Koichi.
This has got to be the best looking game ever! It would help me learn Japanese so much!
PS Because of Sonomama I now know that in my Sailor Moon Doujinshi Queen Beryl is telling the guy with the white hair (I can't remember his name) to "Take out the trash" in reference to Sailor Venus, who she just hit in the head! Ah!!! I wanted to know what she was saying for literally years!!!! But there was no furigana so I couldn't figure it out!
SO HAPPY <3
Glad Tofugu advice is producing real world results!
does anyone know if/how to jump to a particular kanji, not an english word, in Kanji Sonomama. I've just started using it and cannot seem to work out how do it. Be such a shame if it's not possible. Cheers.

If you want to clarify over email, though, we'll try our best to help.
Erin, in the game, when you input a word/character and it gives you definitions, if you select(jump) it selects the english word, when it would be cool if it let you select th eunknown kanji in that definition. Hope it well enough this time. Cheers.
Mark
PS. "M3 Simply" will help you to run "JDS Project" app.
but u can download (Kanji Sonomama Rakubiki Jiten) from here:
