If all of them were the same it would raise the price of the product as a whole. That is, if I remember correctly. Either way non-Chinese DS can't play Chinese DS games.

I just got it today and it's excellent. There are only 1006 Kanji, but it looks like a good starting point for the more advanced kanji learning games. Yes it’s configurable for left handers.

It works just fine in Japan: wifi, charger, games. I have a few games for my DS but I leave the English-Japanese dictionary in it all the time. About 90% of my DS use has been that one cart. There are many kanji study carts for sale and finding one that you like might take some research. My pal just got adult kanji practice 大人漢字練習 which he likes. The one I have is pretty good, but I forgot the name. My Japanese friends who don't have a DS love the dictionary and the kanji games, it makes a good conversation starter at bars too!
