Scribblenauts 2

– Announced in Nintendo Power
– Fixing a lot of the problems with the first game
– Improved controls
– Max won’t knock things over anymore, direct control over him
– D-pad controls
– Craig’s biggest problem with Scribblenauts is that there were elaborate level designs, but players can do what they want and not really know what the developers had in mind
– Adjectives have been added
– Fall release
– It looks like you can double up on adjectives
– Can make things bigger and smaller
– Craig says the first game worked well as a short demo
– Sold well enough to warrant a sequel, not something a lot of DS games get a chance at

WARNER BROS. INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES THE NEXT SCRIBBLENAUTS GAME IS ON THE WAY!

FOLLOW-UP TO GROUNDBREAKING GAME FOR NINTENDO DS WILL TAKE PLAYERS’ IMAGINATIONS TO THE NEXT LEVEL WITH FURTHER INNOVATIONS

Creativity abounds with a new adjectives system for even more ways to play!

March 8, 2010 – Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announces plans to create the next Scribblenauts for Nintendo DS, a follow-up to the revolutionary hit videogame where players use their imagination to write any word, bring that object to life and use it to solve puzzles. Available in fall 2010, the follow-up game expands the innovative elements from the acclaimed first title with many inventive new features, including an adjectives system that allows players to push the limits of their imagination to create their own experience.

In this new game created and developed by 5TH Cell, players use the stylus and touch screen to help Maxwell, the game’s hero, acquire the “Starite,” the prize earned from solving the puzzle in even more robust challenges and redesigned levels. Players now have the ability to write any object that comes to mind and modify it in any way they desire using adjectives to reach the goal in each level. Adjectives can change the colour, size, elements, behaviours and many other aspects of the object they are describing. Multiple adjectives can be combined together to produce incredibly creative objects, allowing the player’s imagination to run wild for a truly unique and individualistic experience.

Sometimes realism is overrated. Don’t we all need a regular jolt of fantasy to keep our imaginations alive and kicking? For Wii™ owners, this week’s new game lineup is set to deliver exactly that. Max & the Magic Marker for the WiiWare™ service imagines what would happen if your own artistic creation turned against you, while the Virtual Console™ service features a big dose of otherworldly action with the classic FINAL FANTASY® II. Browse all the latest downloadable games for the Wii and Nintendo DSi™ systems to help keep your imagination fueled to the max.

We’ve also got some free bonus inspiration for you this week: At last September’s Penny Arcade Expo, Nintendo invited professional artists to create one-of-a-kind animations using the Flipnote Studio™ application for the Nintendo DSi system. The results are now online and ready for viewing at the Flipnote Hatena site (http://flipnote.hatena.com), including cool clips from top comic artists like Eric Jones, Christina Strain and Mike Choi. Check them out and treat your brain to extra helpings of creative juice.
