More circling action on the DS!?

I don't have too many details yet, but it looks like Tsugawa Method DS is going to get a sequel! On October 25th, ERTAIN will be releasing まる書いてドンドン覚える　驚異のつがわ式漢字記憶術～基礎学習編～. Just when you didn't think the title could get any longer...it did! Let's just call this Tsugawa Method DS: The Basics. From the title, it looks like this one will cover more basic, simpler kanji. The first Tsugawa Method DS seemed to pride itself on hitting difficult characters and those from the kanji kentei, so this one might be easier to approach for beginners. I'm going to keep a close eye on this one. More details as they come in, so stay tuned!

Additionally, it looks like IE Institute is working on a sequel to 財団法人日本漢字能力検定協会公式ソフト 200万人の漢検～とことん漢字脳～. It's aptly titled 財団法人日本漢字能力検定協会公式ソフト 250万人の漢検～とことん漢字脳～ and will be released on November 1st. Wait, that's the same title, right!?

Shall I spell that out again? 財団法人日本漢字能力検定協会公式ソフト 250万人の漢検～とことん漢字脳～. Got it? It's hard to believe that 500,000 more people are taking the kanji kentei since the first game was released, but hey... Who am I to question? I'm just one of them. And good luck ordering this one. You may want to grab 旺文社でる順 算数DS first and work on your math skills.
