Touch de Tanoshimu Hyakunin Isshu: DS Shigureden

This game is really fun for anyone trying to learn the hyakunin isshu poems. The teaching technique is really cool - each poem is broken up into two parts. The first part is usually the one that is read aloud, and you have to match it to its bottom part. This game takes the first few characters of both the top and the bottom to make a mnemonic device, complete with pictures, for you to remember each specific poem! For example, one poem matches \"ushi\" with \"nagara\" and features a cow lounging in front of the TV while reading a book! (USHI wa terebi wo miNAGARA, etc)

You have as much time as you need to memorize the mnemonic device, and then you\'ll be quizzed on them with a series of 3 rounds. After this, you\'ll have an opportunity to compete against some people, dressed up in ancient Japanese robes and speaking old fashioned Japanese to boot!

What a unique and fun game.

You\'ll need to be have advanced proficiency of Japanese in order to enjoy this game.
