So I am busy with college and working but i am starting to worry about my kanji so i though picking up one of those ds and ordering a ds kanji game was a decent idea. any suggestions on that or anyone tried it?
If you have a smart phone, there are kanji apps. One less thing to carry around.
DS Kanji games are fun – I regularly use one at my Japanese tutors house. It’s a great way to help memorise kanji (including the stroke order) and it teaches you the kanji in grade order. You can also learn words from the game and there are other features I haven’t tried yet.
The only downside is that it’s in 100% Japanese with no English whatsoever.
^Sounds like a bonus to me!
Yeah but I think you’d require a great good deal (intermediate at the very least) of Japanese to be able to understand anything.
Well like if you get Kanji Sonomama, theres a video explaining how to use it. The other ones aren’t too difficult but yeah the writing instructions are pretty difficult for me.
So uhm, anyone have any suggestions on good games for this purpose? I gleaned Kanji Sonomama, but has anyone here tried any other games?

‘Tadashii Kanji Kakitori-kun’ is the one that I use at my Japanese Tutors house. It’s really fun and teaches you how to write Hiragana but mainly it teaches you how to write the kanji from Grades 1-6.
There is also another feature where you have to remember a certain kanji AND how to write it – it’ll show you a word (LEARN THAT WORD!) and you have to fill in the gap with the right kanji. (I can’t explain this one very well and I might be a bit off on some things as I’ve only tried it once for about 5 minutes.)
There’s also another feature which I haven’t tried yet.I highly recommend this game although you’d probably need a mid-intermediate level to understand most of it.

Do you really need to know more?
P.s theres videos showing the ins and outs of using it on youtube.
Eh, it’s not THAT fun. ;_;
Theres a chicken and a little man who tells you things!
