Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment Launches Scribblenauts Unlimited
Limitless Creativity, Unbound Exploration and Fun Ways to
Play Together
Create an Entirely New Scribblenauts Experience!
BURBANK, Calif. November
13, in the year of our Lord 2012 -- Warner Bros.
Interactive Entertainment announces todays North American launch
of Scribblenauts Unlimited, a new game expanding upon the
award-winning, video game franchise that challenges players to
imagine anything and bring it to life in the game. The popular
Scribblenauts series has sold more than five million units to
date making it one of the most successful video game franchises.
Created and developed by 5TH Cell, Scribblenauts Unlimited is
available today for the Wii U™ system and Nintendo 3DS™
hand-held system and will be available for PC both physically
and digitally via Steam and other digital portals on November
20.
Scribblenauts Unlimited fosters unlimited creativity, unbounded
exploration and fun, social elements that create an original
experience for fans of all ages. The game features a huge
side-scrolling open world with high-definition, hand-drawn
scenery and objects where players can help the games hero,
Maxwell, solve robust puzzles and challenges by summoning any
object they can imagine. Players also learn the backstory of
Maxwells parents, his twin sister Lily, and how he acquired his
magical notepad.
Scribblenauts Unlimited expands the franchise to its first home
console, making it easier and more fun for groups of people to
get involved, said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President,
Production and Development, Warner Bros. Interactive
Entertainment. The Wii U offers players original ways to
interact with the action and the ability to share the experience
with friends and family cooperatively.
Scribblenauts Unlimited delivers so many new features and
fan-requested elements, said Jeremiah Slaczka, C.E.O. and
Creative Director of 5TH Cell. Players will really appreciate
the gameplay format that combines puzzles with a vast open world
for endless exploration.
Both Wii U and PC versions include a new Object Editor feature
that elevates the games creativity by giving players the same
tools as the developer to make, name, and then share their
creations online. Players can create their own objects from
scratch or customize any object in-game by setting properties
for how it behaves, and can change its appearance by resizing,
disassembling and altering its texture and color. The
user-generated objects can then be shared with all players for
use in their worlds too. Previously summoned objects and players
own creations can be stored in Maxwells magic backpack for easy
access and future use.
Scribblenauts Unlimited is even bigger with the addition of
Nintendo themed bonus content. Players can summon dozens of
their favorite characters and items from the Mario™ and Legend
of Zelda™ franchises exclusively in the Wii U version of the
game.
Players will delight in producing fantastical and sometimes
hilarious interactions between the Mario and Legend of Zelda
characters and objects, alongside everyones favorite
word-wielding Scribblenauts adventurer, Maxwell. Discovered
Nintendo characters and objects will behave in the fun and
familiar ways they do in their respective game worlds.
For the first time, cooperative gameplay comes to the
Scribblenauts series in the Wii U version of the game. While one
player is in control of Maxwell, a second, third or fourth
player can join in using a Wii Remote™ to take control of any
object created.
The Nintendo 3DS version of Scribblenauts Unlimited includes
StreetPass™ functionality that allows players to see what object
other players have used to solve puzzles, plus stereoscopic 3D
enhancements for the games cinematics.
