Take care of Tamagotchi planets in your iPod
Tamagotchis still have a fanbase, after all these years. And that fanbase is going to be extremely pleased with Tamagotchi: ‘Round the World from Namco Bandai. It is the very first Tamagotchi game for the iPod, and has players picking a partner Tamagotchi (Mametchi, Memetchi, Kuchipachi or Violetchi) to help them save three planets by interacting with the planet’s Gaiatchi (environmental aspects). It costs $4.99, is for 3G and 4G nanos, iPod classics and 5G iPods and is a 33.7mb download.
There are two basic goals in Tamagotchi: ‘Round the World - make the planets happy and make your Tamagotchi friend happy. You make the planet happy by playing six mini-games with different Gaiatchi on the planet, and you make your Tamagotchi happy by playing three different games with it. You can also complete a virtual stampbook and listen to your own music while playing the game. It also looks incredibly colorful and cute…
Comic Con 2008: Warner Bros., Marvel releasing digital Motion Comics
Comic books have always been a way to experience a fantasy filled world with intriguing story lines and character development. Some comics are taking the leap from print to the land of digital media. Imagine a comic book that comes to life on your computer screen complete with voice overs, sound effects, and music while maintaining the nostalgic feel of panels. This is where Warner Premier steps in with motion comics.
Earlier in July 2008 the official announcement was made from Warner Bros. that motion comics will be made available through digital distribution. The first comic to get this treatment is The Watchmen, currently available for free through iTunes…
Viz offers free Death Note to newsletter subscribers
Viz Media has a special gift for everyone who wasn’t able to attend Comic Con this year in San Francisco - a free episode of Death Note. Members of Viz newsletters received an email today (July 26, 2008) offering an iTunes code for “Rebirth,“ the first episode of Death Note. The episode is a 236.1 MB download, and the code is good until December 31, 2008.
Death Note is the story of Light Yagami, a high schooler who comes across a death god’s notebook. Inside are specific instructions, but there’s one fact - if someone’s name is written in that notebook, that person will die. Light decides that he is going to use it to rid the world of despicable criminals. However, power can corrupt, and the super detective L and the police force are after the mysterious Kira who is wiping out criminals.
Naruto, Bleach and Death Note now playing on iTunes
Some fresh anime is now available through iTunes, if you enjoy that kind of thing. Viz Media has decided to make 103 episodes of Bleach, Death Note and Naruto available through iTunes for $1.99 an episode. So far only a sampling of two series are available, in the form of Bleach‘s “The Substitute” and “The Entry” arcs (41 episodes) and Naruto‘s (uncut) first season (25 episodes). The complete Death Note anime (37 episodes) is available. I highly recommend Bleach, its probably the best. Naruto has its moments as well. While Death Note is good, I personally preferred the manga.
