Shaberu! Ds Oryouri Nabi is loaded with a bunch of recipies and instructions on how to make the meals. The coolest part is that you can tell it to change pages without having to fiddle with buttons.

DS Bimoji Training is a straight up writing tutor.

Tabi No Sashi Kaiwachou DS is a sort of point and say travel guide. It basically allows you to point to a picture to have the DS say it in the proper language for you. It comes with Thai, Chinese, Korean, English and German languages.
