Yup, Japan has officially run out of ideas and started pulling DS crap out of its ass! A year or so ago, English instruction games were all the rage in The Land of the Rising Sun. After the success of Nintendo's Eigo Zuke, other DS titles followed. Yet, nothing really seemed to set them apart. Enter upcoming English game Marsh: Mysterious Living Thing That Eats English. The rotund character grows thanks to a steady diet of eating English. No, really. That's the game. Players select categories they'll like to discuss with Marsh and then combine words for communication. There is also pronunciation practice, and players can even pet or tickle Marsh with the touch pen. Sounds like Nintendogs meets English training game. Though, the developers might've spent more time fine tuning things like their understanding of the English language, because I have no clue what "yack" means. Brian Ashcraft
