My only regret is that I won't be able to get one of the setups that had at E3 so a whole room can participate. Can you imagine playing through this game with a room full of engineers, or hell, even a 3rd grade class?
God, I'm going to buy this, and I'm going to buy it for everyone in my family with a DS.

It's hard to tell without a Snake/Sackboy/Killzone avatar.Jocchan said:
I also have a Snake avatar between the many in my avatar rotator. What does it tell about me?Princess Skittles said:

and die horribly
The crowd would have gone insane.
A couple of worries about the game that just hit me:
First, there's the issue of the certification process and testing: given the fact that adding each new item to the game could result in a combinatorial explosion; I'm curious how they're keeping the requirements of testing under control (I guess there's still a finite number of concepts, but the reproducing rabbits does worry me that there's still a huge number of potential combinations that need testing). On top of this, as well as their internal testing there's also Nintendo's own testing that's needed, and they're going to need to be pretty thorough. I wouldn't be too surprised if that resulted in delays - unless, of course, they've already planned something in advance.
Secondly, I'm in Europe, and I imagine that this would be an utter nightmare to localise, particularly given that there's not necessarily a 1:1 relationship of supported words (for instance, I was having a chat recently with a Danish friend of mine about how there's not really an English word for "a nice smell". Aromatic was the closest we came up with, but it's not quite right.). I guess they could leave it as-is and market it as an English Training game! I guess I'll just import.

There are a lot of social experiments you could do with this game. Housewives vs. gamers vs. retirement homes?
I think this could be as huge of hit as Drawn to Life, which turned THQ's fledgling DS division around. It looks easy to play and there practically nothing else like it out there.

That the game concerns itself with objects mitigates that somewhat: An object is an object, regardless of what language you're speaking, and usually a language will have a word for that object. It's when you get into non-physical concepts, adjectives, etc, that you find languages don't match up as well.

How is it possible that there are so few videos of this beast?

Now that you mention this, It's actually fairly upsetting. do you have to moneyhat to get into an e3 presentation? Honestly, 5-10 minutes with Scribblenauts for people who haven't seen it would be easily on par with Milo and the Magic Wands. Granted, it's not showing off the DS so much as it is showing off how amazing 5th cell is, but you could easily give it a 'This is the kind of innovation you'll only see on a Nintendo system' spin.

I'm sure there will be a warthog in it. The question is whether it will be a cute animal, or drivable by a "chief", or both.warthog said:It's been a long while since I've been hyped like this for a game. There better be a "warthog" in it, or I'll be massively disappointed
Just can't wait, buy/import day 1!
