Death note is a fantastic anime!!! I love it!! And since the first time I saw it, I knew that sooner or later, there would be a Death Note game for DS, and now it's finally here!! (well, there, in japan, not here).
As the name implies, there's a notebook which is critical to the plot, so it makes sense that this game is for DS. However, I really doubt that it will ever make it stateside, since I'm almost certain that a main component of the game is about hearing someone's name, and then write it (in kanjis) in the notebook. So, in order to localize it for the american market, they should have, not only to translate the text, but also the voice acting, and we all know that it's pretty uncommon that a japanese game gets english voice acting when localized, and it's even less likely for a handheld game (the only exception so far being Megaman ZX Advent).
So, I bet it's a great game, but as nearly every anime-based japanese game, it won't make it to our store shelves... Too bad :cry:
Edit: In response to your signature: If I ever found a Death Note, the very first name I would write in it would certainly be "George W. Bush"! (and maybe next "Manuel Marulanda Vélez").
