If you're like me or Jim "Not as cool as Hamza" Sterling, you found Scribblenauts to be a valiant effort that bit off a bit more than it could chew... and had crappy controls. Still, if you're like me and Jim, you can't seem to put the game down despite all its flaws, and random coincidences that are not actually flaws. For those of us in this situation 5th Cell's recent post at the game's Facebook page is intriguing. The page is teasing a special announcement for the game.
"Get your rooster hats ready! We have a very special announcement coming very soon..." the post reads. What could it be? It seems far too soon for sequel talk, especially for a brand new IP. Are we going to see some sort of word expanding DLC through the Wii or DSiWare? That's probably some hopeful dreaming, but if they did it I'd be far more excited about both the download services. Maybe they're bringing the game to another platform, but without the stylus' touch spelling or writing I don't see it working as well. Only the future can tell.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
I really dont see how on the wii it'd have better controls. Imagine pointing everywhere, It'd be the same.. or worse.
I don't think 5th Cell is that WiiMote hungry.
Then again, this is coming from someone who has only had trouble with selecting objects, so yeah....
Otherwise, it sounds like hotfix/patch time.
And yes, I realize that's segmenting the market and blah, but it's still a fucking good idea for those of us who have DSis.
Oh well. Someone with a rooster hat let me know what the news is, okay?
