Scribblenauts' Japanese Trailer

Written by pikaby

The promotion video for Scribblenauts in Japan is now out. So, how do you make a game based entirely off English letters work in Japanese? Instead of a keyboard like both English games, the Japanese version has a real notepad for you to scribble letters on. I don't believe it...this is more Scribblenauts than the original Scribblenauts!

You can write in hiragana, katakana or English letters like in the original game. Could be good for Japanese players trying to learn English, and maybe for the other way around too.

Instead of 5th Cell, the developer behind the Japanese version is Konami. Oddly enough, the 5th Cell logo is still on the back of Maxwell's notepad.

Scribblenauts FINALLY gets a Japanese release

Written by pikaby

And we thought we were the disadvantaged regions who always get good games later than the Japanese do. Scribblenauts is a rare reversal in fortunes.

It's the original Scribblenauts released ages ago in English, and finally ported to Japan and reincarnated as 'Hirameki Puzzle: Maxwell no Fushigi na Note'. Being in Japanese, we can expect a crazy overhaul of the dictionary and probably some special Japanese objects/stages added in. The logo is also made a tad more charming than the old English Scribblenauts. Are the developers planning to cute up the entire game? Maybe not, but a guy can dream.

Hopefully they can do something about the original's bad touch-screen control instead of porting the whole mess over when Super Scribblenauts already rectified the problem months in advance. It will be out in Japan by the end of January.

Maxwell stares into a bright future if Scribblenauts 2 on the DS performs well.
