you know Jackson you guys should make a Wii game like FF XII with that kind of art, I would love to roam around in Rabanastra-like town with beautiful artwork of yours.
Check out Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter DS. The art is insanely detailed in that game.

No consulate? I guess you'd have to type "embassy" then. However, I can totally see why they left out nationalities like German as objects. That's a big can of worms.
Speaking of German, I saw the German trailer for Scribblenauts (because I wanted to see their crazy-long words, and also because I understand some German) and I noticed that in the patient scenario, "sniper rifle" was left out. Is there a problem with showing depictions of weapons in commercials in Germany?
Also, Jackson, how did you cover words in other languages that don't really have translations in English? Words like the German "Gastarbeiter" (literally, "guest worker")? Is it available in one edition and not the other? Or do you try and make a similar concept, like "migrant labourer?"

I don't think that you'll need a Gastarbeiter to solve a puzzle.someguyinahat said:

Joke post? I thought the point of the game was being able to summon anything, regardless of whether or not you'll need it to solve a puzzle.
I just placed my GameStop preorder at the store today to go along with my Amazon preorder.
When I asked for Scribblenauts, the guy just kind of rolled his eyes and was like "Ah. You want the chicken hat, don't you." :lol If it makes NeoGAF feel any better, I don't think I saw any girls working there. The guy at the counter thought they had 6-7 preorders for Scribblenauts so far, but the manager or someone mentioned they'd gotten two more yesterday.
I don't consider myself to live in a big metropolitan area or anything, but it was still kind of amusing -- the guy at the counter was a somewhat stereotypical gamer type, a little pudgy, and he mentioned that he'd heard about the game at E3 and thought it was gonna be pretty great because of the "over 10,000 known objects" or whatever in the game. He also was looking forward to Golden Sun DS.
And this continues my trend of the people at that GameStop not trying to sell me ANYTHING else with my purchases or preorders. I don't know if I look too old for that sort of thing or what, but my experiences there have been mostly decent.

Is that October just for Europe? The official scribblenauts website still says September.

I'm not going to pre-order this, but I am going to buy it. Am I part of the problem?
Everything about this game is hella cool. Never has a game evoked such interest on a scale that exceeds shiny new graphics or updated formula to long running franchise. This is truly the age of Scribblenauts. Impressions and new trailers/footage cannot come soon enough.

"Gamescon is in Europe, and that's when Scribblenauts will release over there. It's still out Sept 15th in NA"
Oh, wow! Then it's all fine and dandy!
Just us europeans getting nipple twisted again, no problem.
Here we were thinking "Oh, 'simultaneous world side release'? That's nice... What's that? Ten days later here, you say? Well, that's still pretty simultaneous by these standards."
"One month!?"
One more month waiting for the greatest video game in the history of the universe? One month of witch we will be forced to sit by while the internet implodes with smug americans (as if they weren't smug enough already...) with bliss in their eyes reflecting the nirvanas of their hearts as they fill message boards and youtube with their love for the greatest interactive sensation ever to be crafted by human hands, which they can experience freely whenever and wherever they choose. I understand now this "freedom" you americans keep talking about. You understand not it's value until you've had it swiped from under your feet.
Can we at least get a hint of the purpose for this delay?
Oh, I guess not. "It's all in the hands of Bugs Bunny."

What in the hell? It's not the end of the world, dude. October 9th is 3 weeks later. It sucks shit, no doubt, and I doubt consumers would consider this a world wide launch, even if the devs do. But going on some bizarre anti-American rant is...just...what?
or was I just metatrolled?

-_- Excellent. Had a few mates at GAME say it was due September 1st in the UK, which didn't make sense cos that would be a Tuesday. Ah well October it is then.
I hope we do get the rooster hat now, as some sort of compensation at least *HINT FUCKING HINT*
Still, it'll be worth it in the end though, keep saying that I can't wait for this, but in the end, that's what I'm gonna have to do!

I'm sure it's just localization. Or, well, I'd imagine.

New interview with Jackson. Doesn't reveal much new but I love hearing about the "behind the scenes" stuff, so I found it pretty cool.
Also, describes a level where you have to cross some area with a cat and a dog, which of course fight each other, and you have to find a way to stop it. He talks about how people used traditional solutions (walls, etc.), then one guy used shrink ray on the dog and tossed him into a satchel, which surprised him
