E3 2012: Scribblenauts Unlimited Tells Maxwell’s Story, Has Co-Op

Something that has always drawn me to developer 5th Cell’s Scribblenauts series is its undeniable charm. The game just looks so adorable, the music is really cute, and the gameplay is refreshing. I’ve been a Scribblenauts fan since day one, and I’ve got a rooster hat to prove it. So when Scribblenauts Unlimited was officially unveiled at this year’s E3, I was immediately interested in seeing how 5th Cell would pitch some more ideas for gamers to create, experiment, and imagine.

It looks like the dev definitely has some cool things planned for the series with the next installment. In addition to more levels and more words to turn into actual in-game things, Scribblenauts Unlimited will tell the story of rooster hat-wearing protagonist Maxwell’s magical notebook. I’ve been wondering how the little guy can conjure up dragons, jetpacks, and even the mighty Cthulhu, so I look forward to seeing how the plot will unfold.

In addition to the story elements, Scribblenauts Unlimited will also include co-op play. Not only is that awesome because we get to see an endearing female character (sporting a neat hat of her own), but players will get to team up to make some nifty creations together. While I’m all for competitive gaming and violent co-op, I really dig this friendly and harmless multiplayer direction that Scribblenauts Unlimited is going in. Watch out for this charming puzzler when it writes its way onto the Wii U later this year.
