Mario, Link, Others Come to Scribblenauts Unlimited

Exclusive to the Wii U, naturally, which is timed for the machine's launch.

No Caption Provided

Yoshi, Zelda, Luigi, Mario, Link, Zelda, Epona and a Goron are joining the cast of characters in Scribblenauts Unlimited for Wii U, according to an announcement on GameSpot’s Facebook page.

Nintendo seems less concerned with leasing out its characters for other games. Between themed characters in the upcoming Wii U version of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and villains like Bowser showing up in Disney’s Wreck-It Wraph film, the licensing chains have loosened a bit at Nintendo.

Scribblenauts Unlimited is part of the Wii U launch lineup on November 18, but the game itself is not exclusive to Wii U. The PC version, for example, will have integrated support for Steam Workshop.

@DeF: Hm, can't say if no object editor would sway my decision one way or the other right now, but I guess I won't write off getting the WiiU version until it is out.

I like that their design is like Paper Mario. Where is that new Paper Mario game anyway?

Sticker Star is supposed to be out before the end of the year. I forget the exact date.

But Scribblenauts Unlimited is looking pretty awesome.

Nov. 11th for Paper Mario, one week before the Wii U launchs. I know what I'm doing during the final waiting week.

Should I assume the Steam version of the game will include an assortment of Valve characters? A weighted companion cube could be useful...

Remember when Link was in Soul Calibur? I'd love to see this kind of thing happen more with Nintendo characters.

Can't say I'm looking forward to this game, though. I was pretty excited for the first Scribblenauts but lost interest after a couple days of messing around with it.

Loved this on the DS but I still haven't seen something that remotely interests me in buying a Wii U.

Gotta love Nintendo's approach. So this is how their 'creative cauldron' board meeting went earlier this year.

Nintendo Exec. 1: "Sooo... we've got this new Scribblenauts game planned. Don't know how to really 'big up' its profile for the U's launch though, if you know what i'm saying?"

silence.

Exec. 2: "OH I AM A FUCKING GENIUUUS! I know exactly how to 'big up' its profile!"

sudden intake of breath. all the other Execs are now leaning in with exasperated 'o' faces.

Exec 1: "HOW?"

Exec 2: "PUT FUCKING MARIO IN IIIT!"

all execs jumping and shouting, one foot to the next.

Exec. 1: "Why did we not think of that befooooooore!"

cue massive sales.

Well, Scribblenauts is published by WB games, but the spirit of this point. Nintendo fanboy appeals seem to be a huge part of most companies' Wii U plan. It's pretty clear 3rd parties don't see enough potential in their games without overloading them on Nintendo's mascots. You see the same thing with Tekken Tag 2.

The internet would be a much more enjoyable environment if sites started banning people who thought they were witty and insightful by posting the equivalent of "THIS ISN'T NEWS" whenever they saw a news story that didn't appeal to their exact tastes.

Can't people theoretically make all the Nintendo characters and more on the PC version?

I never understood this game. I always found "jet pack" and "laser gun" was all you needed and just generated giant orange flaming angry winged elephants to ease the tedium.
