@DrClawberry It's too hard to create such a game in english, a language with compressed sylables and variations on how a word or sylable is pronounced. Latin languages and japanese are ideal for this type of gameplay, as those languages have clear, atomic sylable structure and few words sound too alike.
@RandomUsernameFerYou "Kiki" itself means listening... So this game is called "Listening Trick" in English... which is also an interactive version of "kikitori" (which means "listening comprehension" by the way)...
@WiiFolderJosh Oh, I don't think that at all! It's not that I DON'T think it could work, it's more about HOW it would work. Obviously, a lot of effort would need to be put into localizing and stuff, but yeah. Wasn't trying to imply that it wouldn't work, sorry if it sounded like I meant otherwise!
I want this game! I just need it translated to English. Please Nintendo!

It'd be interesting to see how this would work in English.
