‘Dangerous Days Of Daniel X’ Heading To DS
THQ today announced that it’s bringing James Patterson’s “The Dangerous Days of Daniel X” to the Nintendo DS and DSi in January. Based on the books and graphic novel, Daniel X: The Ultimate Power tells the tale of Daniel X, a boy born of alien parents. X has to using his amazing superpowers (Strength! Speed! Agility! Conjuration!) to prevent the bad aliens from coming to Earth and enslaving us all.
“Having successfully collaborated with James on his Women’s Murder Club games, we are thrilled to expand the partnership to bring to life the epic tale of Daniel with the first Daniel X game ever offered,” said Doug Clemmer, THQ’s executive vice president, Kids, Family and Casual Games. “Our first game in the Daniel X series is a perfect complement to its literary counterparts, and a great way for fans to enhance their knowledge and enjoyment of the world of Daniel X.”
The game apparently focuses on X’s ability to pull objects from the ether, allowing players to solve puzzles as he travels across a mysterious alien world. It sounds like it could be an interesting mechanic, or at least one that’s suitable for the platform. We’ll have to wait and see if developer Griptonite Games can pull it off.
