    It would have been great if they added furigana. That's one thing I like with a ton of Nintendo games, even when they are aimed at a not so young audience like The Legend of Zelda.

    Most might find the lack of furigana surprising, but Shin Chan was the only Millennium Kitchen game to have it, as far as I know. It might feel like these games are aimed at young players, but they're most popular among older players wanting to relive their childhood memories. The fact that Shin Chan had it might be a licensing condition, but that's just a wild guess. Wild enough to propose furigana in a seinen property.

    No way you forgot about the Yakuza/Like a Dragon games... Those are way up on the list as far as games set in a realistic Japan. Many locations are recreations of the real-life areas. Aside from that, great vid. I think I'll be getting into Boku no Natsuyasumi for language learning 👍🏾.

    It looks like Crayon Shin-Chan is the better choice overall, but the diary in this game definitely seems like a more useful tool, especially if you're someone like me who mashes the screen cap button when I see new language. I'm going to download the demo and might import it later on, when the price drops.

    It’s a shame - as you say, if it had push to continue it could be a must buy for learning. But without it I feel it’s a tricky one to recommend. I like the notebook feature and the fact that you can choose the level of detail/difficulty is a nice novelty, but there’s not a huge amount of content if you just consider the notebook alone.

    Truly a shame that the audio and dialogues couldn't be paused, or rather that they can be paused but then you can't hear the actual speech - which is quite important when there's no furigana! I've tried playing it twice now and I'mma have to give up, even at N4 level - looking into N3 grammar and vocabulary - it's just too hard to follow along and I feel like I'm missing out on quite a lot. In the end it got a little too frustrating with the amount of reading, translating and looking things up.
    Gonna give Persona 4 Golden a go next!
