Reminder: Early Scribblenauts launch today at Nintendo World NYC

by Alexander Sliwinski on Sep 13th 2009 9:30AM

Friendly reminder for Scribble-natics in the tri-state region: the Nintendo World store will begin selling Scribblenauts today at 11AM as part of a special early launch. For those who don't want to wait until their retailer of choice gets the game sometime this week, now is the time to get on the LIRR, Metro-North, MTA, ferry or paddle boat and head on over to Rockefeller Plaza.

The 5th Cell team should be on hand for autographs (hopefully for longer than an hour) and demos of the game. Scribblenauts will allegedly only be sold between 11AM-2PM, so take that into consideration. If you're reading this post from the line at Nintendo World, feel free to let us know how long the queue is in the comments.

I swear to god I will rip off the balls of the first person that mentions the ROM.
*rips off own balls*
Anyway, wish i could be in America so I could BUY it early...
Gotta wait till 30th of September here in Aus.

*ahem*
ROM

the ROM is awesome.

Quoting a friend who got it "if i was a rom i would be ashamed to be at the same size of the latest Imagine ds game"

Gawd, Joystiq - put up a fucking spoiler tag, ferchrissake!
Now EVERYONE knows there's a dog, boombox, and bicycle in the game.
Gee, thanks, assholes.

They are SOOOOO inconsiderate. Jerks.

Yeah, thanks, assholes. I was reading through the full 22,802 word list for the game:

http://rush68.net/u/files/scribfull.txt

and I had only made it up to "Bibliognost".

I really can't motivate myself to go any further now that I already know Bicycle is coming next.

Wonder what it's Metascore will be...
Mario & Luigi RPG 3's is currently 94!
I'm buying both. :D

It actually got a 7.75 and 8.75 from Game Informer. It's not bad, but I don't know if it'll reach a 94 on Metacritic- but screw reviews, this game's going to be awesome and I'm going to enjoy the crap out of it.

Probably great if people judge the first 10mins of play time. Don't get me wrong, the game *looks* awesome. In theory. Until you play it and realize if you your imagination was that much fun to be alone with you wouldn't be playing a video game in the first place.

I was talking about Bowser's Inside Story having the Metascore of 94 - Scribblenauts isn't even listed yet (although I have contacted them about it). But anyway, this game will be A-W-E-S-O-M-E. And if it isn't I will take advantage of EB Games Australia's "if you don't like this game bring it back within 2 weeks and get a refund" policy - which slightly makes up for the ridiculous cost of games from there. :D

the game doesn't have the word 'crpyt', what's up with that?

Uhhm, maybe 'cause that's not a real word?

I was hoping fhwdgads would be in there along with crpyt too ;p

LRN2SPL

*cuts off hands and gouges eyes after typing that*

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypt

It IS a real world. Where do you think Crypt Fiends come from, DIPSHIT*!? :P
*This is an in joke you will not get, but still it is a rude word in all caps. Laugh anyway mmkay?

Spelling fail.

Crypt Fiends come from crypts. Not sure what a crpyt is though...

you all suck! i hate you! go die in a crpyt~!
word to yo mother

Yeah, guys, Crpyt is a real world. I've been there. It's not so great.

This is ridiculous, I was voted down? and esposch too, why? over a typo?
well in my first post i meant 'crypt', I get the jokes but what's with the voting around here?

Omega, you just won at the internets. :D

I LIVE IN NYC!!... well, brooklyn, does that count? I don't own a DS though. Hope the sales warrant a Touch version tho

Can you get me an autograph?

This is one of those games I can easily see come to and work well on the ipod touch (and maybe the zune hd if I'm lucky).

Comic sans. Ew.

Glad I'm not the only one on this thread who thought that.

Most people don't give a shit about fonts.

The game can't be perfect =P

Many people do give a shit about fonts.

best font on the planet is Resurrection

btw, i wish I woke up earlier and read this...I could have made it to ninty world :[

why do people care about fonts?

NYC is so close yet so far. Not really worth the 2 and a half hour drive there, although I really want this game. But if I am to go I need to go now. Oh what will I do.

Go GO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!

And bring me a copy too.

Tuesday I'm hitting TRU for the $15 gift card deal.

Bravo to TRU for true incentives for launch purchases. Got me to get Batman.

Who says no-one wins in a recession?

Me too bro, I'm gonna buy an action replay with that money, so I can have unlimited Items on screen at once!

I can't wait to give god a suit, with sunglasses and a fedora while he wields a battle axe on a Chinese dragon!

This game looks great but am I the only one to think it's received an incredible amount of hype?
Yeah I know, "welcome to the video game industry."

There's a million other people that would agree with you.
The only reason why it gets as much hype as it does, is because it does what most other games could never do: Make you un-bored even if you were bored with it.

@Ossot That's a really good point that I never considered. Will people with less creative imaginations pan this game? Straight forward play (like always using a ladder where appropriate, or a helicopter, or, worse, just copying what they've seen in the ads) might become boring to them.

Since I never bother to stop using my imagination (so awkward in mixed company) I have no doubts that it will be incredible. For the tree puzzle I plan to attach bologna to a squirrel then generate an overweight Shriner to chase it up the tree. :-b

@Rhamsey I know! I'm in the same boat and about the same distance.

I would totally go, but you haven't listed the PATH as a way to get there.

Hoboken: Entirely more a borough of NYC than Staten Island. I mean, come on, you don't need to take the damned ferry to get here.

PATH costs 2 bucks tho, while the ferry is free, lol.

Might get this, but I haven't touched my DS Since FF:Tactics2

Damn if only I knew this before telling my grandma I'd take her out to lunch!

(Kill her....)

*whistle* What? I didn't say anything.

I'm in the will. All eyes would point right to me....

Playing it now, why was this hyped again?

What... does that mean?

If you don't like it, type in God and Kraken. And shotgun.

I did that, but God became so overpowered that I had to chain him to a mountain.

"If you don't like it, type in God and Kraken. And shotgun." This is fun for like 5 seconds. Then you run out of memes.

Then instead of memes, just try...... creative thinking! :O

You know, make up your own ideas instead of taking popular ones.
