Scribblenauts Unlimited Delayed In Europe

Not something I was interested in but a lot of people will be disappointed by this announcement coming so late in the day.

Ugh.. Was really looking forward to this game this week....

Delayed again? There goes my interest

They should change the title to "Scribblenauts Forever" -.-

What the hell? It's available in Australia, I'm guessing European language differences are causing the delay?

At least Europeans can import a copy from Australia and it will still work.

hey EUUK why u don't guys inport from Australia

Australia had same versoin as EUUk we both had PAL version works the same just import u don't need to wait

Argh! Had it on pre-order. Got plenty to play in mean time, but dsappointing. Also no date on when it'll come out now. Think my next pre-order game is released on March 1st? Rayman Legends.

It's always Europe that suffers. And Nintendo wonder why it's the region they struggle most in.....
The language barrier is, and has always been an obstacle. Perhaps releasing it in English only and possibly adding other languages in optional updates can be an option. It's not fair that individual languages are holding back the whole release.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

Next game I have preordered appears to be March 28th!!!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

Oh well more time to play Ni No Kuni!

@darkgamer001 And it wouldn't be fair on those who aren't English if they were forced to wait for possible translation of titles just because they spoke a different tongue. To all intents and purposes, that's discrimination.

Besides, the language specualation is rubbish, since the game is available for months in Europe on Steam (including the usual languages!).

If it's been on Steam in all languages, then I'm not sure what the problem is, unless Nintendo aren't happy with some of the Nintendo content in the game? I can't think of anything they'd be upset about though.

But essentially, they are holding back the game which is ALREADY out in English in other regions. Now that's what I call discrimination. Want to play games on release day? Learn the language. English wasn't my first tongue either.

@Cipher
Well, it still isn't fair for those who speak English. Especially us who live in Sweden that has to wait for games to be translated, but games aren't translated into Swedish anyway except a few exceptions (Epic Mickey, Fifa). Germany and those countries that refuse to speak English should get their games later While UK and Scandinavia shouldn't have to wait.

I was going to buy the game this friday but a delay? This ruined my week...

@darkgamer001
You don't get it, do you? The game is already available in all European languages for months (on Steam)- not only in English. So, different languages are obviously not the problem here.

I wonder if there's something in the game (Guns? Zombies? Jimmy Saville?) that is stopping PEGI giving the game a 3+ rating in Europe.

@MrGawain
Don't think so. It got a USK-0 in Germany (btw- back in September, which means, the translation for the game was done months before the original release date.)

@Swedishdolphin
Wow, I must be a real miracle then: The only German in a land of uneducated morons, who actually don't refuse to speak English. Maybe I should write to Guinness about that...

I did get it. I was talking about game releases in general

@LEGEND_MARIOID nope steam release in the Europe is scheduled for 15th of feb i believe... People need to check before they comment

@darkgamer001
So, why are you talking about this "issue" here then, though it has nothing to do with the reasons Scribblenauts Unlimited was delayed in Europe?
You should also consider, that half of the games you play on your Nintendo consoles comes actually from Japan and has to get translated into English as well, while other big Western developers come from countries like Germany (Crytek) or France (Ubisoft) and the people there have to wait for the English translation as well.
So unless you've no problem to play the next Assassin's Creed in French...

@Bluezealand NO IT ISN'T! maybe you should actually check steam before commentating Scribblenauts is due to release on steam on the 15th of February in Europe...

@darkgamer001
I agree with you. Nintendo should treat those parts of Europe where they release games in English (Fenno-Scandia, UK, Iceland, etc.) as one portion and those which need other languages as their own.

@Bluezealand while i respect your argument... Assassin's Creed are made in English to begin with and localised like all other games. (it is made in Montreal not France)

@manic221
regarding Steam: If you "pre-ordered" the game until the end of december, you were able to download it immediately with all languages. So, while it's true, that the game is actually not released for now, the reasons for that don't have something to do with translastions and stuff.

regarding Assassin's Creed: ok, you are right there, but I think I made my point clear.

Lame lame LAME! There goes my anniversary present

Well that just great,I was hoping to pick this up this weekend.
If this is coming out in March,I won't bother.

they forgot to change some of the English to English

For crying out loud! I was really looking foward to picking it up Friday.
I've been waiting for it since launch - that was when it was supposed to be released.

I bet the ever so helpful developers are going to fob us off with more excuses and diversions - they never did tell us why it was delayed in the first place.

All of Europe should be forced to learn English and then they wouldnt have to translate games into multiple European languages ;0)

To all the people saying it's a translation issue, didn't the developer say that the delay was because of someting else - something they, specifically, could not talk about.

ARE U KIDDING ME?! Seems like a fail..

@Cipher Then why don't they translate it to all of the languages?

Another lost exclusive?

Still not here lol
