New software for Wii®
Teleshibai-wii
Developed by Koto
The new software for Wii, "Teleshibai-wii" was released by Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd. on the 30th of July 2009. This edutainment software is modeled on the concept of "kamishibai" (traditional Japanese picture-card story show) and is designed for user to read a story shown on a display aloud to children using a microphone. It uses a voice-changing function to transform the readers' voice-tones to suit the characters in the story. In addition, there is a range of other unique digital features including sound and animation effects. With these characteristics, while having fun, children can learn characters and start to understand sentences naturally, and gradually they will be able to read stories by themselves. As all the stories accompanied by voice-overs, so it is possible for children to listen to the stories alone, too.
KOTO has contributed to the software development and graphics implementation of this product.
