We've got more evidence that the latest instalment of the Scribblenauts series, titled Scribblenauts Showdown, appears to be heading to the Nintendo Switch.
The game has been listed for a March 9th release on games import site Play Asia, adding weight to the leak from a Taiwanese ratings board last year.
The series follows protagonist Maxwell as he attempts to solve situational puzzles by typing words on a keyboard to make the desired object appear. As you progress, the puzzles become more complex, adding elements such as adjectives.
Although no additional information is listed, the subtitle 'Showdown' implies there will be a competitive element to the game.

Glad to see it back for those who want it, but I found the 3DS iteration didn’t live up to its promise - the concept might seem fun but I thought it was a bit repetitive...
The news I’ve been waiting for
Nice! It's a great series and should be perfect with the touch screen.
Always enjoyed this series, by myself and with the kiddos. Pretty happy if this is a thing.
ELO lyric as the article sub heading / subtitle? Love it :]
Nice, closest thing to scribblenauts at the moment is lego worlds adventure mode.
Unlimited was so much fun to me. Can't wait for this one!
Eh...?
Nice to know WB Games is back to backing Nintendo. I can now only hope that they'll bring Injustice 2 to the Switch!
I can only hope "showdown" is referring to a multiplayer battle of imaginations. Scribblenauts is such a wonderful game to play around in, but I feel always falls short in the actual objectives and missions of the game. But if you can have TWO people creating in the same area, that would be something fresh enough to warrant a new entry in the series that's not just more of the same.
I love this series. Here is hoping it sees new life on the Switch.
Yes. Now I can finally create Gigantic Yellow Flying Polka-dotted Angry Babies and fight them to the death with a friend.
To be announced at the nintendo direct jan 11 2019.
Probably another game that could only be play in handheld mode. I'm starting to regret not having a second screen.
I might finally grab a Scribblenauts game. I was quite impressed by how thorough, specific and obscure one's creations can be with one of the Wii U games.
I enjoyed messing around with this on the Wii U game, but wouldn't want to spend full price on another one. Maybe on a 30-35 dollar range I would get it.
