Why Nintendo characters aren’t in Scribblenauts Unlimited 3DS

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments

Scribblenauts Unlimited will feature characters from Nintendo’s Mario and Zelda franchises – on Wii U that is. The same can’t be said for the 3DS version of the game.

According to 5th Cell’s Jeremiah Slaczka, the only reason this is the case is due to timing.

Slaczka explained:

“Timing. The 3DS version was already finished and moving into manufacturing (cartridges take longer to produce) by the time the deal was signed with WB & Nintendo.”

Slaczka noted that once the deal was done, “only the Wii U and PC [versions] remained and obviously Nintendo would only want their IP on their platform.”

Sorry to those who were hoping for more Nintendo franchises to appear in Scribblenauts Unlimited – Slaczka told IGN that “it’s just Mario and Zelda for now” but “there’s plenty of characters and other goodies to discover within those universes.” He additionally stated that “many unique objects” can be found and that the characters are “just for fun. Though it’s up to the player on how they want to solve a puzzle, so it’s possible they could use Nintendo characters to do it.”

Two more points: Slaczka mentioned that “this deal happened pretty late in development so we didn’t have time for locations” and speaking about adjectives, he once again confirmed that they can’t be used on Nintendo characters, saying that “understandably Nintendo is cautious about letting other games use their IP. So for now their characters can’t be modified.”

A rating for the 3DS version of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate popped up on the OFLC ratings board today. Interestingly, it lists Nintendo as the game’s publisher.

If that’s accurate, the company could be distributing it in Europe as well. Nintendo may also choose to publish the Wii U version of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate in Australia/Europe.
