The gameplay of Kiki Trick involves listening to a sentence with garbled speech. The player must then choose a word out of a list that completes the sentence. Players can have the sentence repeated.

The game features audio-based minigames.

Development

edit

Yoshio Sakamoto was responsible for designing the game, with Noriyuki Sato directing the game. Sato was previously the team leader on an earlier Nintendo SPD project, the Nintendo DS Digital TV Tuner. The game is based on a proprietary technology designed by Otodesigners Co. Ltd, a Japanese sound engineering company with roots in developing hearing aids and other types of sound technology.[3]
