Scribblenauts developer 5TH Cell has done amazing work on the Nintendo DS. Drawn to Life, the brilliant Lock's Quest and the aforementioned Scribblenauts have all helped to bring the best out of Nintendo's handheld system, but it seems that the talented studio will be looking elsewhere in the future, planning to do more on consoles from now on.
"This is our big last hurrah for DS games," says creative director Jeremiah Slaczka. "That's it for original stuff. We're now going to move on to consoles in the next year. We might still do DS; I'm not saying we're not going to [develop DS games]. But our focus is definitely going to be on console."
I'd love to see what 5TH Cell can do on a home console. With such brilliant work done on the DS, I can only imagine what they'll do with some Hi-Def power behind them. Provided of course that they're not just going to stick to the Wii.

best game ever
That's probably exactly what they're going to do.
Ugh. Kinda sounds like they're becoming the new Grin/Backbone/Obsidian...
Someone PLEASE get clarification of that statement!!!
I wouldn't take the "Original" stuff too literally. I think he means just games for the DS, not new stuff in general. He wouldn't ACTUALLY mean no more original ideas. That would be silly.
Sounds like a comment by a PS3/X360 fanboy...
