Ganbare Neo Poke-Kun’s language barrier is thankfully less of an issue, although one’s mileage will vary regarding its novelty appeal. The goal is to be victorious at the minigames and accrue more stars than your opponent before the number of turns ends, but it will require patience and regular manual referrals for a non-Japanese speaker to sync with it. Some of the minigames are quizzes, of sorts, where the only instruction in the manual is “depending on your response, your EX Striker’s alignment, etc. But it's still a fairly text-heavy affair. These consist of memory tests, target shooting and the like, occasionally based on classic SNK properties. If you can figure out the structure of things (which involves choosing a character, a sidekick striker, and rolling a die) you can get started on the board’s squares until you enter a minigame. In Battle de Paradise you can bring up the manual freely to decipher the text, although it resets to the first page each time you do.
