L Theme Park Attraction! Universal Studios Japan Join with Weekly Shonen Jump to Bring Death Note to the Tourists

10/5/2016

2 Comments

 
Picture
A theme park in Osaka will be taking day-trippers into the Death Note universe with L right alongside to ensure no-one gets themselves killed.

Because he was always so good at that...

Universal Jump Summer marks a collaboration between Weekly Shonen Jump and Universal Studios Japan.  Running throughout the summer months of 2016 at the latter's tourist attraction, the event will bring to life major characters from manga and anime.

That includes Death Note detective L, who'll be recruiting rookie investigators (that'll be you) to accompany him through a role-playing, puzzle-solving, live action game entitled Death Note: The Escape.  It will be built on the back of other Death Note themed Real Escape games, that have been running in cities around the world to mark the manga's 10th anniversary.

Additionally, the theme park will regularly host theatrical performances featuring another stalwart of the genre.  One Piece Premier Show 2016 tells a story especially written for the event.

Unfortunately, visitors to Universal Studios Japan will have to pay extra to enjoy either of these anime-based attractions.  However, their general admission price allows for free access to the third one - Dragon Ball Z: The Real 4-D.  Not too much further information there, other than our hero Goku will be fighting the evil Frieza.

Yeah, whatever.  Our lot will be with L, taking on the truly nefarious designs inherent in a locked door.  And if you don't think that's dangerous, then you seriously never read Another Note.  Hold on.  Ok, so our guide looks like L. Fine. But someone must have double-checked his jam eating propensity.

Haven't they?

Enjoy going beyond in the Universal Jump Summer 2016 Death Note Real Escape event.

Logic & Puzzle Death Note Game for iPhones - Quick Review

11/11/2015

2048 Death Note Logic and Puzzle Game Cover
2048 Logic & Puzzle Death
Note
game for Apple devices

A free Apple Death Note game sounds like something involving Shinigami Ryuk, but in this case it's the phone not the fruit.

I don't know who Pracha Chanlekla is, but he/she/it appears to be a serial creator of fun software for iPhones.

Amongst the recent crop of which is a freely downloadable Death Note iPhone app. (also compatible with current iPad and iPod models).

2048 Death Note Logic and Puzzle Game doesn't appear to have been officially sanctioned.  But since when has that ever stopped any of us enjoying  anything within the extended fandom created Death Note franchise?


Puzzling the Name of the Game for Death Note Apple App

It's a little confusing as to what this Death Note Apple game is actually called.  On the same page, it rejoices in the monikers: 2048, 2048 Anime & Manga, 2048 Death Note, 2048 Puzzle Game Style Death Note, Logic Numbers Puzzle for Death Note Edition, Death Note Logic and Puzzle Game, and any other variation on a theme of the above.

In short, let's just say that it's a logic and puzzle Death Note game for Apple users, which might be called 2048.

Maybe its title is all part of the Death Note puzzle fun?  Level up when you've worked it out!

Gameplay for Death Note iPhone 2048 Logic and Puzzle App

There's quite a stark introduction by the developer of his Death Note game for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.

Pracha Chanlekla describes the gameplay simply  as
'join the numbers and get to the 32768 tile'.  That's all. But sometimes simple is best.  After all, Mario merely runs around hitting golden coins and brick walls with his head, and Pac-Mac was fundamentally a blob on a grid, escaping other blobs, whilst snacking on more.

Is simple best here too?  The Apple device users amidst the Death Note News team got downloading the free Death Note app. to find out.

The consensus was that the game ran well enough, but it appeared a little light on content. It wasn't particularly well made (visually) and, as one colleague put it, the whole thing 'couldn't have taken more than an hour to cobble together'.

But then again, it's free!

Kylina's Death Note Card Game from Germany

9/9/2015

2 Comments

 
Death Note Game Trap Card

Sample card from Death Note game
This is little more than a heads up for the German Death Note fans out there. I'd like to tell you more, but frankly I have no German and Google Translate is garbling the information.

Hopefully someone will step in to tell us what we're looking at here!

Kylina has created a deck of Death Note playing cards. It appears to involve some kind of strategy with monsters, traps and ways to continue on to win. That's really all I could adequately discern.

Sorry Kylina!  (Though if you want to come and introduce your Death Note game yourself, you are more than welcome.)

Clarification!

Below in the comments, the lovely Nathaniel has clarified what this Death Note pack of gaming cards is all about:
The card game she has made is actually just a deck in a pre-existing card game: "Yu-Gi-Oh". Yu-Gi-Oh is a popular card game that was made by Konami and is played across the world. What she has done is made a deck using cards that already exist; using a Death Note theme. Sorry! Just trying to clarify. :)
Thank you, Nathaniel!

Canadians are set to immerse themselves in a real world 5D Death Note game. Thus providing hope to the rest of the world that we'll all eventually get to play too.

Now open on Ontario Street, Montreal, 2-5 fans at a time may participate in the locked room adventure. Solving puzzles, following clues and otherwise using their wits to reach the exit within the allotted 60 minutes.

The Death Note Real Escape Game is available to play in both English and French, costing $56 a time. Though the grand opening allows half-price tickets - 25 Canadian dollars apiece - if you book online.

For us international types, this signals an opportunity to join the 10th Anniversary Death Note goodies previously on offer only in Japan.  The concept is clearly spreading out globally, which means it might be in our own countries before too long.

Anyone planning to go and check it out?

Here's a lovely one for the Death Note gamers amongst us. Which is pretty much all of the Matt cohort and probably most of the others too.

You can play Minecraft as Death Note characters by downloading bespoke skins.

I've never played Minecraft, though it's top of my list of games to try. I've loved Terraria and the like, so I know I'll enjoy this one.
Nevertheless, I was lured onto Planet Minecraft by the vast number of friends who do play the game. One of them mentioned an L skin, so I went for a shufty. Then made the rash promise - if there's a Matt skin, I'm in.  Yep, there's a Matt skin too.  Guess what I'm going to be playing in 2015...

Here are the Minecraft Death Note skins and other stuff that I've uncovered for your delight and amusement:

All I Want for Xmas is Telltale to Make a Death Note Game Like Tales from the Borderlands...

3/12/2014

2 Comments

 
At least that's what ar1speedboy's asking for over on Metro's Game Central.

He's made a good case for it too!

Mind you, I'd consider any case to be fabulous, which advocates a Death Note game in English. As the response was made on Game Central, there are plenty in Japanese, but none - insofar as I know - for the rest of the world.

I would play the proverbial out of that!

All this does have me thinking though - if any gaming company, in any genre, was to announce tomorrow that a game for Death Note was being created, what would it look like in your ideal world?  Who would make it?  And on which console?

Let's dream big dreams and hope that the game makers are reading!

Death Note Gift Ideas: Near's L Jigsaw

7/8/2014

1 Comment

 
Looking for a gift idea for a Death Note fan?  Near's jigsaw puzzle is one of the most iconic, instantly recognizable items from the anime.

With just the letter L in Old English font in the corner to break up the pure white expanse, its appearance told fans immediately that Near was a clever lad. He hardly had to think about what he was doing. He completed the puzzle in a rapid succession of quickfire clacks. Then tipped it up and began his jigsaw all over again.

Buy it just as it is, if you want a Death Note present - or Near cosplay accessory - or take advantage of a neat feature to personalize your Death Note jigsaw.

The L letter is a template, which can be changed for any other in the alphabet, or even a full name, word or sentence.  In this way, you can customize the puzzle to match whomever will receive it.  The world is your Wammy House.

And talking about Wammy House geniuses, here is one for Mello too:

Letter M Old English Text on White Background Jigsaw Puzzles

Though that was never seen in the Death Note anime, nor can it be customized via a template.

You'll need to click a button to go in and do that yourself.

Death Note people, what do you think?  Do they look authentic?  And which one would you buy and/or prefer as a present?

(Let's help out our homies' family and friends here, as they hunt for a lovely surprise gift for a Death Note fan! Sound advice and recommendations given freely!  After all, this could be YOUR folks browsing here...)

*giggle*  It's a few months old now, but I'm counting on the fact that there might be some Death Note fans who haven't seen it yet.

For those completely out of the loop, the gentleman Panda Noting his team-mates is Kim Yoon-jae, aka LongPanda - one of the top players in League of Legends. As for the background to the competitive gaming, and the context for the Panda Note joke, I'll refer you to DrKil on Reddit.  Enjoy!

16/4/2014

Official Death Note 10th anniversary smartphone app game
Death Note gamers will now be able to pit their wits against a series of puzzles and ciphers, in a new Smartphone App game released by Shueisha.

The first part of Death Note Shinsekai e no Izanai (Death Note Invitation to a New World) launched on April 12th 2014 for devices running iOS or Android. With the second, third and fourth parts coming in staggered releases at the end of April, middle of May and the end of that month respectively.

The Death Note Smartphone App is currently only available in Japanese.

Players will find themselves inside a locked room, from which they need to
escape. This involves following clues, deactivating/bypassing traps and solving puzzles in order to unlock the door.

It's been created as part of Death Note's 10th Anniversary celebrations. Anyone downloading it as we speak?

Round Up of all the Death Note 10th Anniversary Announcements

4/3/2014

2 Comments

 
Death Note 10th Anniversary
Now the dust appears to have finally settled on the Death Note bonanza, I thought it would be useful to have a quick check through all that was on offer.

Death Note's 10th Anniversary was celebrated, with much hype, on March 3rd 2014. The fandom received the following goodies and event notifications:

  • Death Note Real Escape Game. This is what the much-vaunted website counted down towards. But it's only available in two Japanese cities.
  • Online Mini-Story. Playing out over Facebook and on the website, this was just a promotional event for the above. It didn't affect the canon.
  • Reissue of the Death Note Manga. 10th Anniversary editions of all seven volumes will be in the shops on March 18th 2014.
  • Digital Death Note Manga. Two online (and downloadable) versions of the full story are available. One is in full colour from start to finish.
  • Death Note Facebook page launched. This social networking portal is in Japanese. It keeps folk abreast of all new developments in the Death Note franchise.
  • Smartphone App for Death Note fans. Play the Real Escape Game on the move.
  • Death Note as a Musical Stageshow. Now Kira et all really will be all singing and dancing.

There was quite a lot there, particularly for fans in Death Note's home country Japan.  Yet I can't help concluding that there was a lot of fuss over really not very much at all.

What do you think?
