About Popeye no Eigo Asobi


2009-10-31 (updated 2012-04-03)
Popeye no Eigo Asobi is a simple word guessing game aiming at Japanese kids to improve their English skills. The graphics feel like being directly taken from the earlier released Famicom arcade port Popeye. You can choose words from several categories like "countries" or "sports". Gameplay of Game Mode A and B follow Hangman-rules. Selecting ten wrong letters from the searched word results in Baby Sweetpea falling down. In Game Mode C you have to catch English letters in the right order to build the English translation of the given Japanese words. All in all a simple game aimed at kids, which is well playable, but also really uninteresting.
