5th Cell's Jeremiah Slaczka is proud that buzz-darling DS title Scribblenauts took only a year and three months -- half the time usually allotted major publisher launches. But given more time, he wonders what the team could accomplish, and is starting to think bigger.
"We're competing against companies like Square Enix and Nintendo, triple-A products," Slaczka tells us, as part of an in-depth Gamasutra feature. "People hold us to the same standard, which I'm totally fine with -- I want them to hold us to that standard. But they get three years, and I get one year. That's the big difference. I feel like a boxer with one hand died between my back. I can make incredible stuff in three years, you know?"
Scribblenauts has long been a series lauded for its wealth of adjectives and nouns. Sometimes, it's astounding to discover exactly how far this can go, and that's why we have gone to the trouble of scouring for the most obscure and curious words that somehow yield results.

Having recently found out about Scribblenauts, the fate of 5th Cell is hard to witness.
the problem of scribblenauts is that it just couldn't work on Playstation/Xbox... Nintendo, PC and Mobile was not enough to support the franchise
Why wouldn't it? Think it would work great with the PlayStation second screen app. Doesn't Xbox have something similar too? Use the phone or tablet to type and the controller to play.
I'm not real sure a 2nd screen is even necessary. I've only played the DC Comics one, but they could have easily mapped all of the buttons from the touch screen to a controller to pull up the menus.....
