The game takes the form of an animated picture book which is narrated. There are quizzes which the kiddies can partake in to test if they have been paying attention, whilst the proud parents look on admiringly.
This is likely to never get a translation for release outside of Japan but it is an interesting use of the WiiWare service we think. For the bargain price of 600 Wii points this might sell quite well in the land of the rising sun.

looks interesting, dont know if ill get it or not, seeing as i know no japanese whatsoever and therefor cant understand what theyre saying,. lol
Yeah, the Japanese are a bunch of weirdos. Learning from video games? Pfff
A cheap alternative to those edutainment games Publishers want full price
I always found the Kappa myth an interesting one, especially how some old animes portrayed them. It seems like a fun, learning-related game that will do well in Japan.
Erm.... no thanks.
Kappas are cool, but an interactive childrensbook/ quizzgame? Japan may keep this one, I won´t complain
I hope this does not turn out like Donkey Kong Jr. Math, as in, I hope this game is actually fun...
Aren't Kappa's supposed to frighten children. I wrote a report about them for school once and it was rather umm... not child appropriate. Anywho this can stay in Japan.
Pass. But I kinda doubt it'll come anyway.
I'm good, thanks.
Kappa and his Forest Friends, eh? Call me crazy, but that really reminds me of Animal Crossing! Remember that Kappa character who paddled the boat/drove the car? And in Japan Animal Crossing is roughly translated as Animal Forest.
As for the game itself, I can't really make any assumptions, seeing as we know little about it. But 600 Points is great. 'Tis a shame that it's an educational game.
As any normal person from the western world would say, PASS
Um what just happened? That was odd. This game deserve a miss.
This is how the Japanese secretly torture their children; they force them to have "fun" with comprehension tests...
I woudn't buy that with a pistol to my head. And by Pistol, i mean water pistol
No seriously, it's good to see game companies reaching out to different audiences and that sort of stuff may sell in Japan, but i seriously doubt it will ever get released here. There just isn't the right audience to do that
Oh no, this is a bad sign...
@Apocalypse
How exactly?
Personally this sounds very interesting, and certainly would appeal to a younger audience. It'll probably never make it to the west, but still, it's not a bad game.

I fear for your children...

I agree, I wouldnt mind education games on wiiware if its good. But this is the strangest crap I have ever seen.
