It was only a matter of time before a kendo app came out for the iphone/ipod touch, and here it is: Air Kendo.
I bought it this morning for 115 yen and gave it a blast. It features the ability to practise men, kote, do (not tsuki) and hayasuburi simply by shaking your device. Its extremely simple and as such I’m not sure it deserves to be a paid app at all.
Anyway, its something that I’m sure kendo fans will buy (after all, I did!) and might be a laugh to use with your friends in the bar after kendo…. or even your sensei!
Here is a youtube video from the developer for you to decide if it is worth buying or not.
No tsuki option? I’m very disappointed.
Yeah, I know!! I don’t know how the motion stuff works on the iphone/touch but its a wonder that you couldn’t somehow detect a simulated tsuki action……
Just tried it. My impression: useless..
I agree.
But, it was a good time waster for a group of high school kids for about 15 mins…
