According to a recent press release, Rocket Company, who released Kanken DS (漢検DS) for the Nintendo DS will be releasing Kanken DS 2 (漢検DS 2) in late September. In response to feedback from consumers, Kanken DS 2 will include questions from 準１級 and 1級, which were not available in Kanken DS. Kanken DS 2 will also feature a kanji dictionary with entries for all the joyo kanji. The press article reports that when you miss a question, you'll be able to access the dictionary on the spot to see what you've missed and review. The software will include more than 40,000 questions, covering every level of the official Kanji Kentei examination.
This sounds like it will be an amazing learning tool. Kanken DS is a phenomenal piece of software, and with added questions and an entire kanji dictionary at your disposal, it sounds like Kanken DS 2 will be the ultimate kanji learning tool for the Nintendo DS.
Kanken DS and Kanken DS 2 are kanji learning software intended to support those studying for the Kanji Kentei examinations held in Japan.
Kanken DS 2 will be released in late September and cost approximately 3,990 yen.

That sounds really handy. I think I'll have to get this one for sure.
Yeah, I can't wait to get my hands on this one. Kanken DS was fantastic for its time, with great tests and games, and still stands up well after its release.
The sequel sounds like it will set the standard for all kanji study tools here out.
Thanx for everything! I've just found your blog and it's very good, interesting. I think it will help me in my learning of Japanese language.
待ち遠しい！
is Kanken 2 going to be a *superset* of the original Kanken? (As in, does it make sense for anyone to get BOTH? Or just Kanken 2?)
Also - what's the difference between these Kanken (original and 2) and "200Mannin no Kanken"?
Any reviews on "Atama wo kusuru - DS Kanji no Shou", compared to Kanken and "Nazotte Oboeru - Otona no Kanji Renshuu"?
