Scribblenauts Showdown rated by the ESRB
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”.
The rating description for the game is as follows:
This is a party/puzzle-platformer game in which players engage in a variety of tasks and mini-games using a selection of words/actions/modifiers/characters. Mini-games include fishing, racing, and using drones to deliver items. Players can type in random nouns and adjectives to create different word combinations that trigger comical scenarios. Some games/tasks prompt players to use “cartoony” weapons (e.g., bazookas, bombs, swords) to deplete the health meters of other characters. Characters can also eat/bite other characters when prompted by a modifying word/trait. A handful of areas contain enemy characters (i.e., skeleton warriors) that will attack players if approached. During an eating-contest mini-game, players’ character may vomit if they consume too much food without swallowing; a comical “gagging” sound effect is heard, as well as brightly-colored green vomit.
