Newest NP talked about the next Scribblenauts game. Here I was yesterday saying how people aren't talking about it because there no info on the sequel.

-10,000 more words
-120 new and improved levels
-adjectives play a big role
-improved controls
-fleshed out level editor
-par system removed
-more merits
-new hint system
-coming this fall

Honestly, I don't care for 10,000 more words. I would be happy if all they did was take the original 10,000 and add more properties to them. Like freaking lava couldn't melt ice.

My only other gripe are the controls and the level design. Improve these 3 and that's more than enough to make me happy.

 

[Bentendo]

No Par system? Besides improved controls that's the best news I could hear!

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

so we will be able to control the character now?

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

All of those improvements sound like big steps in the right direction.

I enjoyed Scribblenauts, but I think it did have some notable shortcomings (which have been beaten to death by certain people), and it sounds like 5th Cell is aware of this and is working to improve it.

 

[nny]

5th Cell, tell me more about those improved controls.

 

[Xater]

The biggest thing they have to fix are the controls. If they get those right the game will already be alot better.

 

[Salsa]

improved controls

make it happen

 

[Apoc29]

Nice! I had fun with Scribblenauts, but if they can fix the glaring problems the first one had, this should be the new king of DS!

 

[FoneBone]

Nothing about the Wii version?

 

[Hot Coldman]

Hey, Jackson, get yo ass in here, and please tell us you've remembered that the DS has a D-Pad. Then I'll buy your game

 

[Xal-Shoota]

seriously about the controls though. Im about to sell my copy because I never play it anymore since I don't feel like dealing with them.

 

[GWX]

Improved controls? Great. Hopefully they will bring it to other consoles too.

 

[Father_Brain]

Is the Wii version listed in the WBIE leak from last year confirmed? I'm more interested in the PC version, but I obviously wouldn't expect that to be mentioned in NP.

 

[Lijik]

Yesssssssssssssssssssssss

 

[thedrizzle34]

Yesssssssssssssssssssssss

wow, someone gifed that already

 

[GeekyDad]

The biggest thing they have to fix are the controls. If they get those right the game will already be alot better.

Well, I think the controls go hand in hand with the game's physics, which, for me, were a big part of the problem.

 

[Cat in the Hat]

"improved controls"

Bought. I stopped playing the first solely because of the shittyness of the controls, I'm glad they listened to the fan feedback

Also I liked the par system please leave it in the options or something

 

[Cow Mengde]

I'm also concerned with too many useless items, or items not functioning the way you imagined it.

Quality over quantity IMO.

 

[SapientWolf]

wow, someone gifed that already

Is that from Alice in Wonderland?

 

[mjc]

Still not on the wagon for this one, gonna need much more convincing. Not gonna listen to GAF hype this time around either.

 

[Josh7289]

Yesssssssssssssssssssssss

What is this?

 

[Seraphis Cain]

I must know more.

Paging Jackson.

 

[SirPenguin]

Oh ffffffff

It's the cover of the new NP

[Jet Grind Radio!]

Improved controls is the only thing I want. I want to move Max with the D-pad and have him interact with stuff easier. If so, I'm down day one.

 

[Bentendo]

Is that from Alice in Wonderland?

Yeah. It was the obligatory children's movie dance scene.

P.S.: I keed. I actually enjoyed the movie.

 

[Lijik]

What is this?

At the end of Tim Burton's Alice Abomination the Mad Hatter randomly breaks out into dance and its the best part in the entire movie.

 

[ultron87]

So improved controls means I can control the character with the D-pad right?

 

[SirPenguin]

Also, adjectives? Playing a big role? I'm very curious as to how that'll work out.

 

[Kaldea]

Wow, the NP cover art is gorgeous.

Day 1. I had no problems with the first and it can only get better.

 

[toythatkills]

Adjectives!

 

[Deleted member 22576]

It's the cover of the new NP

Pretty!

 

[MikeE21286]

fix the damn controls and I"m there

 

[gerg]

In case the information is new, the latest Nintendo Power also has details on an Earthworm Jim remake for DSiWare. The May issue will also have a world exclusive reveal for a new game for the Wii. The preview page has a generic picture of Mario on it, so this could range from mere details on SMG 2, or the other Mario game apparently in development, to something entirely unrelated.

 

[Crash Station]

Give me D-pad control and I'll preorder right now.

 

[mattiewheels]

Ut oh, here we go again. The hype level for the first game was borderline insanity.

 

[Eteric Rice]

seriously about the controls though. Im about to sell my copy because I never play it anymore since I don't feel like dealing with them.

Same. The controls were terrible.

 

[timetokill]

-improved controls

This is the main thing. the MAIN THING.

 

[MattyGrovesOrMe]

Give me D-pad control and I'll preorder right now.

Perfect control set up for me: D-Pad (and only D-Pad) moves Maxwell. Buttons pan camera around level. Stylus interacts with objects.

 

[Hex]

The novelty of the first wore off quite quickly.
I know it is blasphemous to say that here where there were avatars all over the place being done in the Scribble style and whatnot but it is just my opinion.
I do think the potential for the second to improve on the first is there so I will definitely keep this on my radar.

 

[Nose Master]

Not falling for the hype again. First game was so inexcusably broken.

 

[DrFunk]

cautiously optimistic

 

[Shiggy]

Well, this was leaked some months ago, so not a huge surprise.

 

[Poyunch]

Yesssssssssssssssssssssss

Reminds me of the off-screen James Franco gif.

 

[SirSwirl]

Yay! Thank you 5th cell, Scribblenauts was the one game that needed a sequel from you guys.

I'm getting so hyped, gah, must wait for controls impressions.

 

[Lijik]

Perfect control set up for me: D-Pad (and only D-Pad) moves Maxwell. Buttons pan camera around level. Stylus interacts with objects.

Those would be perfect and I didn't even have problems with the controls to begin with.

EDIT-

Reminds me of the off-screen James Franco gif.

This has made me realize that every Spider Man 3 gif I've ever seen was off-screen.

 

[Cindres]

Dpad controls, please god Dpad controls.

 

[BGBW]

Those who never got their avatar request fulfilled may finally be in with the chance.

 

[Cow Mengde]

Well, this was leaked some months ago, so not a huge surprise.

We knew about the game, we just didn't have any details whatsoever.

 

[Joey Fox]

Adjectives eh? If I can make a slimy goat and have it be useful somehow, I'm sold. Even if it's just to mess arond with things again

 

[Gomu Gomu]

All I want is Better level design and clever puzzles. The first one was really dissapointing regarding these two things. The levels were boring, and the puzzles started great, and then got repetitive and boring.

I have faith in 5th Cell. Since you've pretty much have the basic mechanics ready to go. Spending more time building creative levels and puzzles is a necessity.
