A wonderful Nintendo DS game based on the hit Japanese series! Don't pass this game up.
The anime film and game are also based on the book series by Yuichi Kimura.
It's about a Wolf named Gabu, and a Goat named Mei who become friends on the night of a storm. They eventually become fast friends despite them being from two different animal species.
The game follows the events of the film. The game is region-free so you can play it on any DS. The game is for all ages, so the Japanese is strictly in what's called Hiragana (Japanese syllabary), and Katakana (foreign words made into Japanese).
Although you might want to know some Japanese to play the game, it isn't totally required.
The graphics are excellent and the mini-games that you play to advance the story are very fun. You want to get on the scoreboard of each game to get more dialogue between the characters Gabu and Mei.
There is first a game where it's a puzzle, where you have to match the numbers and colors that you are given.
The second mini-game is a platform game where you have to get to the end of the stage and you have to feed Gabu when he is hungry.
The third mini-game is where Mei has to race his friend back to their camp.
The fourth one is where Mei must find Gabu at Gabu's camp.
The fifth is where you play an rpg where Mei must level up by fighting his once friendly companions and then take on the leader of his people.
The last one is where Gabu must escape beyond the mountain he
is on with Mei.
This game was a great game when the DS was first release, and still is.
