Despite it not being officially announced yet, we’ve known about Scribblenauts Showdown for about a month now due to it being rated in Taiwan and then being listed on Play Asia.
We now have yet more evidence of the game being real. The ESRB, the North American ratings board, has now rated the game for several platforms, including the Nintendo Switch. It has been rated E 10+ for “cartoon violence and cartoon humor”.

Last week, Broken Rules announced Old Man’s Journey for Switch. The game comes from the same studio as And Yet it Moves and Chasing Aurora.
Broken Rules has since shared a few additional tidbits about the Switch version. In terms of features, a two-player mode will be included in addition to support for HD Rumble. You’ll also be able to play the game with motion pointer controls. Touchscreen and stick input are in, too.
After a fairly lengthy hiatus, 2D Metroid was back in the spotlight with Samus Returns. Nintendo and MercurySteam partnered together on the 3DS game, which debuted last September. It wasn’t entirely new, but was a remake of the Game Boy title Metroid 2: Return of Samus.
Samus Returns could be just the start of Metroid’s 2D resurgence. Rumor has it that another entry in the franchise is in development.
In an interview with The OP, Vertex Pop founder Mobeen Fikree says he and his team are working on a new title for the Switch. Vertex Pop previously released Graceful Explosion Machine for the console back in April of last year.
We were overwhelmed with the reception Graceful Explosion Machine received from Nintendo fans, so we’re definitely working on a new game for the Switch.
