It's no secret that the Nintendo DS was host to an enormous variety of non-gaming software for purposes ranging from fitness to diet, and it seems Nintendo is keen to bring a whole new host of these to the 3DS.
Phonics Fun with Biff, Chip & Kipper is a collection of three volumes that take the well-known characters from the appropriately named Read with Biff, Chip & Kipper – a series of primary-level reading books in the UK – and bring them into a more interactive experience to help young children with their reading and pronunciation of words and sounds.
Each volume boasts the equivalent content of thirty physical books from the series with steadily increasing complexity, so parents with limited storage or simply a disdain for paper cuts may do well to invest. There's no word as to precisely what level of interaction the titles will offer, but they will feature illustrations from the original books.
Nintendo is clearly vying to get 3DS consoles into the hands of the younger market much in the same way as the DS before it managed to. Phonics Fun with Biff, Chip & Kipper will be available in Europe on the 12th of September 2014.

Never heard about it before, and I'm not gonna get this.
Iconic?
I used to love The Magic Key books.
Hey! Watch your (implied) language!
LOL, the reactions to this are hilarious. Well I suppose learning software isn't bad for any console. Perhaps Ubisoft will bring Rayman Jr. from the grave, something for gamers and learners alike. <3
I used to read these at school when I was really little. Don't remember them too well though. It was about 20 years ago to be fair. (Man I feel old)
I'll take ten!
Whoa blast from the past, these books are ancient, we had them in my primary school and i'm in my 30's.
I used to love kipper. We had him here n the States too but not the others as far as I Know.
I would buy these or a similar game if it were available here in the states. My youngest son would love them.
Cant remember them myself but my kid used to like these at school. Amount of content seems good too for those that are interested and great tagline too!
I used to love these books!

@Barbiegurl777 Arent they usualy extremely easy?
My daughter has one of these books I'll see if she's interested!
I'd go for a Kipper the Dog RPG.
I remember reading these books about 12 years ago (I'm 17) at school. There used to be different levels of these books and the classes at my school were separated into groups of about 5 for their reading ability and I was always in the top group. I think that gives some explanation as to why I love visual novels so much.
YAAY !!
This brings back some memories...
