Namco Bandai's Wii Ware word game, Kotoba no Puzzle Mojipittan Wii, is exactly the kind of thing that would be up our alley. It's a tile-based word game, like Scrabble, with two important twists. First, it has multiple boards with different layouts, including the one in the screenshot in which every other board has a preplaced "n" on it.
Second, it's, you know, Japanese. That's the real challenge of the thing. Our hiragana comprehension is fine, but we don't exactly have a large enough vocabulary to be able to build words from randomly-selected characters. Honestly, at a reduced Wii Ware price, we'd be tempted to jump on this like we wanted to for the PS2, PSP, and DS versions. Of course, there's no chance at all that Namco Bandai will allow that to happen.
If you think Mojipittan is cute, check the official Mojipittan site for wallpapers and MP3's from the other games, and try your hand at the demo version!
We wish we could play Mojipittan Wii

This does look fun. Can't wait for Wii Ware to launch: looks like a lot more good ways to blow $5-$15 from your couch.
