    Elenkis – I realize now that Kanji Sonomama is just a dictionary. (;>.<) I'm in search of actual games that "just so happen to be in Japanese". Or word games/ games created for younger Japanese natives to practice on. My apologies!

    As far as finding those games though I found a couple of sellers on eBay with tons of choices and fair prices (excluding shipping, I didn't check, sorry).

    I think I've got it covered, thank you everybody!

    I know you don’t need anymore help but I might as well post a Nintendo DS game that I have found useful…

    At my Japanese tutoring sessions, sometimes my tutor will want me to practice my writing of kanji (using this Nintendo DS game to save paper) and it can also help you improve your Hiragana writing. It has several other uses such as filling in words but it’s in complete Japanese so to be able to use the game properly without any game – you’d probably need at least an Intermediate level of understanding.

    Tadashii Kanji Kakitori-kun is the name of the game but I don’t know which version of it.

    ^ I’d highly recommend that Nintendo DS game if you need help with writing kanji and have at least an Intermediate understanding of Japanese. :)

    P.S. I know that game has already been mentioned but I thought I might as well vouch for it as I have experienced that game. It’s quite fun and has been very beneficial for my Japanese learning.

    I was actually eyeing that game myself I had watched a could videos on youtube. It looks really fun/ useful. It’s good to know that an actual tutor is using it for practice, and that it is also enjoyable for the student as well.

    Thank you, Kaona!

    Check out my post on DS games here:http://www.tofugu.com/2011/10/10/top-5-nintendo-ds-games-for-learning-japanese/
    Most of those games can be found for $40~$60 I think.

    You can get manga of :

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/kyoto-factory/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686

    he lives in Japan and is cheap compared to most other sellers. He takes requests if you ask him and you can order up to three books for his shipping cost (Just remember to ask, send him a message first). I’m sure if you asked he might get games for you as well.
