So Europe is finally getting Scribblenauts Unlimited for Wii U and 3ds after it was delayed for so long.

The release is penned for December 2013, over one year after the games release.

Now to be honest, I've lost all interest in this game for wii u.  It was delayed for so long for Nintendo platforms that I went out and bought it for my pc for 5 EURO when steam was on a sale.  No doubt the cost of this will probably be 45-50 Euros on Wii U so I regret nothing.

 

The game was supposed to be released February 2013 for Europe but the nintendo platform version were delayed.  The PC version was released on time.

Both North America and Australia had this game since the end of 2012.

 

I bloody love region lock!....

Too many good games coming out this fall for Wii U anyway.

LOL there's already a new scribblenauts coming out...

[Julio93]

Damn they're finally getting Unlimited? That sucks.

[Gaymer]

They should've just scrapped it. A launch window game released a year later? Lol.

To me this is the Rayman situation with a far less interesting and quality title.

I would have bought this as something interesting in March but now there's way too much to be getting this.

They lost my sale around December when I got it for under $7 off amazon.com for my steam account.

Great game, except toward the end when it starts becoming a bit of a chore more so than an awesome sandbox wordplay game.

Raymon is far more boring than scribblenauts could ever be.

Yeah sure it is. We'll just ignore the widespread praise it's been getting then.

Yeah, like people do 3dworld and NEW super mario bros. XYZ because it's "just another 2d platformer hurr durr".
People who say the exact same thing as I'm saying about raymon now, have been rainbowting on my face about Mario for 20 years.

What has Mario got to do with it?

The only problem with NSMBU is that the style needs a refresh. Some of the levels looked amazing, some looked exactly the same as older games.

Rayman is very creative style wise, and also more interesting use of the gamepad.

Both were due out early this year and got delayed for months into a much busier period of the year.

Scribblenauts was a launch game, and did come out in other regions though.
While Raymon was delayed to sell out to other consoles.
I only see Scribblenauts on PC, as always planned.

I'm not sure what the problem was with giving Europe a fantastic launch game, but it's not really the same situation as the raymon fiasco.

There are different circumstances surrounding each title, but essentially the same in that both would have been available in February and March and instead got held back until plenty of other games came out.

There's even a sequel out at the same time for Scribblenauts.

[Nollog]

It's not really a sequel, since there's no real timeline.
It's a fanservice game for marvel(or some other comic company).

And it'll probably be delayed until 2020 here too, because lol internet doesn't exist so you can treat different regions like they don't know they're getting shafted.

Nothing to do with anything you said, but I wanted to say it.

[Alex Wolfers]

I didn't even realize they didn't have it. Kind of late IMO.

[Ocarina of Time]

Indeed, it's very late.

Unmasked is being released in September in the US and no word of an EU release.  If Unlimited is anything to go by then I expect late 2014.

[Rockodoodle]

I just bought it for $30.... Figured that was a decent deal. Haven't opened it yet

Scribblenauts is only fun with other people giving you ideas of what to make. On your own the game is pretty meh.

I like my own imaginative solutions.
