DS Motte Tabi ni Deyo Kyoto (Let's Journey to Kyoto with the DS) is the latest travel-guide game on the DS. This one comes from Coo Design and, like the name suggests, contains maps and tourist information about Kyoto. It also allows you to enter a starting point and calculate travel time to destinations within Kyoto. Of course, minigames are also included.The game contains a search function that allows you to find attractions not only by location, but by season as well. Most importantly, the game is presided over by a monkey mascot who looks exactly like Data from Mega Man Legends. You can't go to Kyoto without ... a monkey who looks like another monkey.

It looks like Data meets Chim Char too me.

It's too bad this is only in Japanese. Why aren't there any travel guide "games" to North American or European cities in English? This is a sector that begs to be addressed. Geezers like me with a DS I want to take on vacation. The "game" could combine a good set of maps, a phrase book (if needed), and a good listing of stuff to do, places to go, photos, videos, etc.
