man why doesn't this 2010 Wii game have closed captions

hey I wonder if you could provide line21 captions from a Wii game?
it doesn't have HDMI out, so you're not stopped by that, so in theory it'd be possible, if the graphics chip is flexible enough to generate it.

even better idea:
modding a CGA card so that it can provide line21 captions when used in composite mode

So there's some interesting behavior in this game that I thought was a bug, but now I think it's not.
So, if you start a puzzle and you go first, it won't let you solve. no letters have been revealed, only a time traveler could answer it.
But if you don't go first, and a computer guesses a letter first, it WILL let you solve.

even if their guess is wrong.
I figured that was a bug, right?

but now that I think about it, it DOES give you information: that letter is not in the puzzle.

so even though you have negative information, you do have more information than you started with, so... I guess it's okay?
