Students of Japanese history have a friend in Marvelous' new NDS non-game which schools users on the world of old Edo. Before Tokyo was named Tokyo, it was known as Edo. Grand old Edo, which once held the seat of power for the Tokugawa Shogunate for over two centuries.By plugging the Edo Culture card into an NDS, users may take virtual tours, learn about the culture, visit the Edo Museum, and view important landmarks. There's also a map function which compares modern Tokyo to Edo. Once you've absorbed enough information, test your proficiency by answering approximately 500 questions in a quiz format exercise. In addition to the scholastic appeal of Edo Culture, there's a few mini-games to whittle away the time and a collection of woodblocks to view.

This seems like a wonderful little application. I wish more companies were exploring this sort of 'virtual tour' using the DS. Even just the ability to be a virtual tourist in modern-day London or Paris, or to explore the great works of art history in Rome, would be an outstanding use of the hardware. Dragging with the stylus looks around in a full panoramic view, click on objects to learn more about them... maybe there are titles like this out there and I'm just not aware of them.
