The Scribblenauts ESRB listing is hilarious

by Richard Mitchell on Jul 9th 2009 11:00PM

Above, you can see the actual ESRB listing for the upcoming DS write-em-up, Scribblenauts. We've taken the liberty of blurring out the most boring bits. Left behind is just a tiny sampling of the truly wondrous things that Scribblenauts is capable of. Trust us, developer 5th Cell did its homework. We know, we checked.

Seriously, any game that allows you to attach a steak to a baby in order to attract lions ... that's at least a rental, right? Scribblenauts drops this September.

I don't know. Steak babies are pretty filling.

i have that concern too.

I don't get what you mean by "won't have substance." Is it because the ridiculous amount of freedom gives you the option to take the easy way out in about every puzzle? Or is a conversation about steak-covered-baby-lion-bait took much to stomach? You know, you don't have to use babies, kittens should work too (although PETA might not like that). If all else fails, summoning Cthulhu might be a less mentally ill solution to the lion problem. The game has Cthulhu, wth you mean it "won't have substance," even non-ds owners want this game. Please explain yourself?!

how much imagination can you have???your imagination will run out after 10 minutes.

Sony Boy?

come on, at least name yourself something that doesn't automatically picture you as a fanboy before spouting your negativity

You can only use an object once in the entire game (on uncleared levels, at least), and there are 200 levels or something. It should be sufficiently challenging and substantial without the replay value.

Unless your imagination runs out in 10 minutes or something.

I'm going to type in Tmac and see what happens.

I'm expecting SOMETHING to implode, being the DS, me, or the world.

You'll probably get the basketball player. What possible purpose he could serve though, is beyond me.

this game isn't worth a rent, it's worth buying a freakin DS!

This game might be the only reason for me to get my first Nintendo Handheld since the original gameboy... currently have a PSP Phat

All I know is, when the Co-Op guys were checking it out at E3 and entered "Cthulhu"... Cthulhu came up in the game.

Screw steak babies... Cthulhu inclusion is an instant Epic Win for me. I'll take two (one for my DSi and one for my wife's DS Lite).

I bet they even remembered the kitchen sink when developing this game.

My name is Braff Zeckland. I was an international racecar driver. One day, a baby carriage rolled out onto the tracks, so I swerved into the retaining wall to avoid it. The car burst into flames, but the baby miraculously survived. -I- was that baby.

"I'm going to type in Tmac and see what happens."

No penises. It's already been established.

Lol, times really have changed; now a using a cartoony steak covered baby to attract lions is just noted as comic mischief. Man, this game is awesome, and that is by far the best esrb game summary I've ever read. I nominate this for GOTY right now.

I hope this game doesn't get overlooked because of the cartoony boxart, everybody needs to try this game. Gotta spread the word. TO THE INTERNETZ...oh right I'm already...then...TO TWITTER.

you know u can just look down if u want to see one....or in the mirror.

One of the best looking things about this game is that haters will only be able to blame themselves should they decide to whine.

This is the first DS game that has actually made me think of buying one, and I have absolutely no use for a portable system.

Ever since i heard about this game, i been dying to get it. This is the 1st DS game in awhile that i truly want to get.

GOTY? HA HA! Puny humans, this isn't GOTY, it is GOF(Game of Forever!) I mean really, when ESRB makes a hilarious report. You know it will be the best game ever made

@ PedoJokerBear

Well he wanted to see one, so im guessing he may not have one.

partial translation from fuzzy-vision (I went blind so you don't have to)

in which players navigate a series of traps puzzles and enemies to collect stars scattered throughout the colorful levers

if multiple words are entered in a sentence

a bulldozer can clear away a shark and

players can elect to summon cartoony version of bats ????????? guns and flamethrowers these types of items can be used to destroy objects or even other summoned?? items[e.g. a club can be used to hit an animal

rockets can be lobbed at a man these triggered animations are minimally usually accompanied by popping, musical sound effects, ?????? star-shaped flashes,or small puffs of smoke

hmmmm they seemed to fuzzify the less interesting stuff..

arrrggghhhh.... why didn't I see the link?? because the blurred out version already left me blind.... DOH ME stupid laugh at me now.

God I want this game... it's like watching Katamari Damacy in reverse, where you pollute a clean universe with an infinite supply of random crap.

Getting this.

so if i do not attach a steak to the baby, do i attract Michael Jackson's ghost?

@ESC have you tried plants vs zombies? it one ups peggle

god, this made my day and it's only just started

^

that

This game is going to make getting carpel tunnel from holding my DSPhat all the more worth it!

But, can you attach a baby to a lion to attract a steak dinner?

This game seriously makes me want to buy a DS.

Dingo ate mah baby!

This just might be a day one purchase for me. Seriously, traveling back in time to get a dinosaur to fight robot zombies, summoning Keyboard Cat, and now putting steak on a baby to attract lions? This is going to be one of the DS's best games.

C'mon Joystiq Nintendo, This Post Was LAME. Give Us Some Real News.
