Japanese Game Developer Offers to Pay Tuition Fees

All you have to do is study English with their DS game "Moe Star" and then ace a barrage of tests.

The announcement of a new DS game called Moe Star: Moeru Todai Eigo Juku (meaning Tokyo University English Cram School) comes with a unique motivational twist for students to buy and use the software. The developers are offering 500,000 Yen (about $4,700 in US currency) towards tuition fees for students who attend certain Moesta events and pass a series of tests.

Aimed squarely at males, the game involves several scantily clad female characters with names like "Word Angel" or "Grammar Angel" who help players in their respective areas of English study.

Users progress through the story by playing games and answering questions.

There are also fully animated cut scenes, most of which revolve around a young male student in varying degrees of undress with the aforementioned "Angels."

Owners of the Moe Star can register for the events through the game's website. As one could expect, there are no plans to release this outside of Japan. Ever.

Talkback

You know... I can't wait for these "training" games to come stateside. The Japanese are so lucky.
