Scribblenauts Facebook page teases 'special announcement'

by JC Fletcher on Sep 19th 2009 5:30PM

The Facebook page for 5TH Cell's Scribblenauts is teasing ... something. "Get your rooster hats ready!" a message posted on the game's "Wall" reads. "We have a very special announcement coming very soon..." We have no idea what's being announced, or even when, but it seems really early for a sequel announcement. Maybe another platform? Or maybe something outside the game, like a contest. In any case, if you like Scribblenauts, 5TH Cell is going to tell us all something that will probably be delightful.

Speaking of delightful, the pictured object is "Game of the Year" as rendered by the game. That's just adorable.

[Thanks, Josh!]

I'm gonna take a guess, announcing it for iPhone?

Was going to make the exact same comment, it just seems like the most logical step.

That Facebook page is actually pretty neat, my gal has been loving this game since she bought it.

A lot of the commenters on the page are saying they hope it's DLC for the DS, but I have to imagine that's pretty unlikely. Can the DS really handle DLC? I know in the 1st Layton the 'DLC' was just extra puzzles that unlocked every week, but that were already on the cart...

I hope they make it for the Zune HD instead.

hell yes!

Yeah that's not fishy. Is your 2nd douche account for entering giveaways? *rolls eyes*

Yeah, cause I want to watch ads while I play. That sounds great!

Why are the Zune comments being marked down? It'd be nice to give the new PMP a good game that doesn't have ads in it.

I'd like it on the Wii actually. Something the family can get together and think up crazy solutions.

Ghen is closer, i think, if only because 5th Cell recently confirmed that they were working on some unspecified Wii project.

Could be anything, ultimately.

@Ghen: That's actually a really cool idea, it would be like a kinda pictionary thing. I'd buy it.

zune = - mark >:V

Please please be iPhone version!

"Can the DS really handle DLC?" DS - nope. DSi - yes!

How about PC. Scribblenauts would be great on say a laptop

Um...and why would that be necessary?

Cause he probably doesn't have a DS? Ever think about that?

I do, and its awesome! But some of the a puzzle levels are too hard :(
And first I thought it was going to be some super item list, but an iPhone version seems more likely.

WiiWare or PSN version, please?

DLC adding 4,500 more words

So you can solve the puzzle with the same 4-5 with more options ;D

I love the game but it's still funny

i just ordered scribblenaughts

i would LOVE an iphone version.

and to those who say having a picture of scribblenauts pop up when you type in game of the year is cocky - the main character is wearing a rooster hat. so he's allowed to be cocky.

+1 fine sir

"The main character is wearing a rooster hat. so he's allowed to be cocky."

Exactly. Just like if he was wearing a penis hat.

Comment of the year.

nah, if he was wearing a penis hat, he would be a dickhead.

Or Dick Tracy.

There's a Game of The Year item?

Damn, even THEY knew the game was going to be awesome.

The problem with having a iPhone version so early is that version can't be sold much more than $10. I don't think they are stupid enough to release a $10 version so soon when the $30 DS version just came out a week ago. That would kill the DS's version sale. Or at least piss off the DS owner of Scribblenauts.

Hell, most games don't even sell for more then $5-$7 now, which really pisses me off. The App Store has become more about price than quality, which is sad.

I am not exactly sure how much they are spending on shipping, production, packaging, Nintendo, etc. but they might make just as much off of an iphone version... even after Apple's cut.

I find it hard to believe they would make make more ($7) vs a DS version(Prob $15-20) dollars.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I was talking volume. The individual ds version sale would net more. But I would bet it sells more copies on the iPhone, and that plenty of those will even be re sales.

Don't know about live arcade ou psn ... unless they made some incredibly accurate voice recognization system .... otherwisse would be a pain to write everything ...

iphone/wiiware/steam is way much more possible

1. Make an archaeologist.
2. Make a whip.
3. Make an artifact.
4. Pick up the artifact.
5. Insert "That belongs in a museum!" sound clip.
6. Watch Maxwell get his ass kicked by Indie.
7. Awesome.s

Another cool thing is

1. Make a Wizard
2. Make a Dwarf
3. Make a Halfling
4. Make a Ring
5. Wear ring
6. Hilarity ensues

I love finding awesome suggestions on Joystiq, and I usually try them out in game. To all those who haven't tried it, the shrink ray is tons of fun.

@billop: I'd also like to add that once the wizard kills the other two, if you put a mirror in front of him on his rampage (reflecting his fireballs), he will then proceed to endlessly attack his reflection.

if you steal Cupids bow, you can make anything friendly.

Ever wanted to ride a dragon, or Cthulu? shoot it with a cupid arrow first and enjoy.

Both consoles have a keyboard.. Why wouldn't it work?

platy, the PS3 has keyboard suppoart, and the 360 has the keypad. it's entirely possible.

*support

edit button please!

Ouch. Fanboy much?

Wait, Scribblenauts is being nominated for game of the year? Ahem, impeachment?

Yeah, because text input would be SO MUCH BETTER with a PSP...

I'd love to see a WiiWare version, as the Wii remote would work just as well as the stylus. They could even fix the control issues, by putting movement on the analog stick and the camera on the plus pad, or vice versa, while using the pointer in the same way as the stylus.

Cry much?

Jesus Christ. I own both and yes i prefer PSP, but even i can see that DS has a LOT of amazing games. TWEWY, Scribblenaughts, Hotel Dusk and Lock's Quest are a few i can remember right now

A program were you can mail in your game and get it replaced with a version that supports d-pad movement and eliminates auto cam-centering? That would make me a happy panda indeed.

The D-pad movement isnt a big problem for me. The Camera Auto centering is REALLY annoying though. Its the only major flaw of the game
