So this year when I start college I'm going to start taking Japanese. Since I'm really interested in the language I've been looking around a bit and found that in Japan they have games on the Nintendo DS for kids learning the language. They basically help them learn kanji. Since I'm going to Japan in a couple weeks I was thinking about maybe picking one or two of these games up to help me learn the language later on (once I get my katakana and hiragana down.)

There are Spanish and French games out now in the US that focus on teaching those languages, and from what I've heard and read on those games is that they do a pretty good job.

My question are, has anyone used any of these games (which one(s) and if so, how well did they work?

Thanks
