Basically, it's like typing of the dead... only for the DS... and instead of typing, you're translating japanese into english.
SO FUCKING BOUGHT. This is the quirky Sega I've always loved.
ENGLISH OF THE DEAD (DS/Sega/spring '08)
* Action game where you defeat hordes of zombies with the power of English
* Zombies spew Japanese, and you write the English translation in on the touchscreen
* 6 stages
* Training, Auto Listening modes

But who cares. I'm so fucking importing this. This sounds AWESOME.
If anything, I would think that this would be especially beneficial to Japanese youth, since it's my understanding that the pressure to learn to speak English is increasing as more and more Japanese are moving into business fields that incorporate the world market.

Kowaii? Rice and beans?
You shut your filthy mouth.
Also, I thought Kawaii meant "cute".

Kawaii does.
Kowaii is a rice and beans dish.
I'm sorry but can you blame me? They haven't made that many good games lately.
The fuck they haven't. Don't make me bust out my list of badass sega games that have recently come out.
Sega may have slacked last gen, even I will admit that. But they've been making some giant strides lately, and they're starting to pick up steam again.
House of the dead is versatile as hell. People doubted it when we got Typing of the Dead and it ended up being one of my favorite sega games ever. I'm so fucking excited for this.
See, this is why you're importing English of the Dead, and I'm not.
I'm still trying to track down a copy of Typing of the Dead for the DC. My favorite part about Sega is how other companies use cartoony characters (Mario Teaches Typing, Carmen Sandiego Teaches Typing, etc), and Sega just comes out and uses fucking Zombies.
I wonder what other kind of thinly veiled edutainment (god I hate that word) that Sega can manage with the "...of the Dead" series. Maybe the zombie says a State and you have to say it's capital? The zombie says a country and you have to name it's Leader?

That's still my field of expertise.
(And at 95 WPM, that game still brings the insanity.)
Above: bringing up a bad game isn't a counterpoint to the claim that they haven't made many good ones.
I'm in my 3rd year of collegiate japanese, but even then I still forget and get a lot of words confused. So I'm doubly excited about this game because, more than likely, I'll actually learn from it.
Fun fact... typing <blank> was supposed to be a series. They released Typing of the Dead domestically and in japan, and they released Typing space harrier in japan. Typing outrun was in the works as well. As such, Typing of the Dead was the only successful one (although I LOVED typing space harrier) and it looks like it's becoming it's own spin off franchise in reverse now.
Seriously... what's next? Aerobics of the dead? Weight lifting of the dead? singing of the dead?
I fucking welcome them ALL.

Though I guess this would be good since I'm trying to learn Japanese
I just need to know if it's in Romanji or Katakana or what the fuck

Which was rushed, endured 2 project leaders leaving, and drastically changed direction twice, with at least one being a near total rewrite, all with pressure on top from microsoft to "get it out by christmas"
and they've since followed it with
Not to mention these are entirely different, completely independant companies within sega making these games. Sonic team makes Sonic. AM2 makes the Of the Dead games. When Rare sucked for nintendo, did people bitch about games that Retro was putting out? AM2's quality has NEVER wavered... let's see what they've given us thus far:
I know it's all the rage to hate on sega now a days, but it's pretty fucking annoying when every new announcement from them, no matter how honestly cool or note worthy, is met with "well they put out nothing but shit." They DON'T put out nothing but shit, and comments like those have no place in this topic. This game doesn't excite you? Fine, but you better bring a damn better reason other than "lol sega" to the table. Make an honest to god argument as to why ENGLISH OF THE DEAD will suck or gtfo.
Either way when your mascot is being made into shitty games you know something is wrong
Why the fuck hasn't Sega ported Typing of the dead to all 3 consoles and sold it on the cheap? I mean, fuck, they all have USB ports so you can plug in any old keyboard and get to typing things to death.
Sega, hello?

Because they announced Typing of the Dead 2 not too long ago.
Yeah dude, next time nintendo announces a game, be sure to run in and chime in about how Yoshi's Story sucked, even if it's not a mario game.
Okay, even better. Compilation Pack.

I am somewhat disappointed.
And what does that have to do with English of the Dead?
What I'm saying is that Sega isn't what they used to be(even though yes they having made a couple of good games lately) so I won't be excited about it.
TEHCOOLRYAN ISN'T EXCITED ABOUT THIS GAME, GUYS.
HEY GUYS, HE'S NOT EXCITED ABOUT THIS GAME.
DID YOU KNOW SEGA HAS SUCKED LATELY?
HE'S NOT EXCITED ABOUT THIS GAME.
do you see the problem here?
Yeah I see the problem. The problem is that you are taking this way too seriously.
