Imagine walking down the street on the way home when a crazy zombie starts coming at you with a mallet, what will you do? Shoot English at it of course xD. That’s what you do in the new Nintendo DS game “English of the Dead.” Using your stylus, you write words that you read in Japanese into English on the lower screen the POW, you kicked some zombie butt. This is a interesting game thats being sold by Sega lol, what better way to learn something than through a game and I’m not talking about Cooking Mama ^^. This is a great way for Japanese to learn how to write English words and memorize them as well in my opinion. You get to play a game where you kill zombies with words, how messed up is that but it’s also pure genius at the same time xD. Now if they do the reverse and make you read English and you have to write Japanese then they might have a market in English speaking countries, I know I wouldn’t mind getting one ^^. Would you want to buy one?
Looks like it’s inspired by Typing of the Dead, which is in turn based off The House of the Dead (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Typing_of_the_Dead). You had to shoot zombies by typing the words that appeared in front of them. It’s one of my favourite games XD
Episode 5 of Shugo Chara all over again.
digitalboy’s last blog post..Oh shit, it’s Spring 08 Impressions Time!
wow… talk about forcing it… Typing of the Dead was fun though, so hopefully this one will kick ass too…
Radiant’s last blog post..Miku Hatsune Vocaloid Nendoroid
I wouldn’t mind getting one.
But what`s up with using zombies?
Wierd.
I’m sure that the person in charge of the artwork had a lot of fun… especially when drawing those weird zombies (graduate zombie, etc.)
@paranoidsponge: I need to find that game and play it XD.
@digitalboy: Interesting, I’ll need to find that episode and check it out myself.
@Radiant: Hopefully it will be, thats what Nintendo is hoping for ^^;.
@Rokku: Zombies are probably fun to throw words at because they can’t speak any themselves, something like holy water XD.
@D_Blade: Ya, some of them looked really strange like the ballerina xD.
