The DS is just a fad. These things'll never catch on.

Once again, I mention my list:
Rhythm Heaven Gold/Rhythm Tengoku Gold
Osu! Ooendan/Ouendan + Moero (Be careful; the Kanji can fly too quickly...)
Doki Doki Majo Shinpan + Doki Doki Majo Shipan Duo + Doki Majo Plus (The game is not as disgusting as others may tell you. In fact, being disgusting in the game is the road to loss. Even so, this is just a suggestion based on the games I have in my flashcard.)
Blood of Bahamut (You can even put in names in Kanji!)
Dragon Quest IX (...which, from what I have read, has a lot of variety in speech)
Mario & Luigi RPG 3!!!
Game Center CX: Arino's Challenge 2 (...though I have not played much in the game, and I suspect that the semi-retro games themselves wil not have Kanji...)
...and, as boni...
Dora-Gana (for learning Kana)
Nazotte (You have Heisig, but you can look up a Kanji to look for its readings, and you can even practice your writing of a Kanji!)
Rhythm Heaven Gold/Rhythm Tengoku Gold
Osu! Ooendan/Ouendan + Moero (Be careful; the Kanji can fly too quickly...)
Doki Doki Majo Shinpan + Doki Doki Majo Shipan Duo + Doki Majo Plus (The game is not as disgusting as others may tell you. In fact, being disgusting in the game is the road to loss. Even so, this is just a suggestion based on the games I have in my flashcard.)

So, after such a long time, after trying to play videogames in japanese and fail successfully, and after giving up playing...now I'm playing 逆転裁判・蘇る逆転 and it's so easy! Seriously, I can understand almost everything and if I don't know a word I can get the meaning from context, and since I play with my computer by my side I add new words to anki everytime I see them.
'll download the suggested games again. Mario & Luigi RPG, more gyakuten saiban (after finishing the one I'm playing now), pokemon B/L (it has kanji right?), etc
I'm writing here because 2 years have passed and you might have another suggestions. Please keep suggestions coming, I promised to myself I would coe back to gaming after I could do it in Japanese, and now I finally can ^^

is there any dictionary game for the DS in which we can search for the english word, kanji, hiragana, etc?
I'm using 漢字そのまま楽引き辞典 but to search for the english word we need to write the letter by hand and it hardly recognizes letters. I write G and it appears O -_-
