A New Drawn To Life Game Has Been Rated For The Nintendo Switch

just seems mighty inconvenient for us docked players, to be honest
edit: (not to say i'm not excited, though, i loved these games as a kid as kind of meh as they are in retrospect)

I had this game on the DS....but I don't remember it being amazing.

Seemed like one of those games that looks awful unless you were attached to it as a kid.

I've only played bit of the first game. I liked the idea more than the game. Scribblenauts always had the same problem. They give you lot of tools and different ways to solve the problem but you always go for the same ones that work for everything.

It also seems like they recycled Scribblenauts Unlimited's logo.

Judging from the title and the presence of a certain two characters, it seems they're continuing off the second game's infamous ending. If you don't know about the ending, at the end of the game you put out the "eternal flame", all the characters disappear, then it plays this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kur0qaYM1jM[/spoiler]

I completely forgot about those games but I played and loved both of them on the ds! There was also a spongebob crossover game but it was awful...

The first one had my favorite ending to a video game ever other than metal gear solid 3. I still even have the song from it and listen to it all the time. I hope the composer comes back to do the music for this one

Maybe the ending will be a little cheerier this time around? I don’t think my heart can handle another ending like the second game.

@somebread So undock it. Problem solved.

@somebread new horizons custom patterns have been training me for this

this is nice to hear, i was lucky enough to stumble on this game back on the ds and it was entertaining enough as a kid. ill keep an eye on this

@Noid It could continue off of the altered ending where they had Mikey fall off a tree and go into a coma. However I would definitely prefer the original ending. The game probably sucks now, but it I was very emotionally attached to it when I was a kid.

Wuh oh suppressed memories are flooding back

@Noid I didn't know you could hide spoilers like that! Lemme try!
Bruce Willis is actually a ghost in Sixth Sense.

Nice, really enjoyed the first game on DS back in the day and recently picked up the sequel on the Wii for a couple quid

@Noid I wasn't expecting that.

@Abeedo I'm wondering if the devs of this new one even remember the second alternate ending... Being over a decade after the original release, it's possible the people working on this one didn't even realize the alternate ending in the 2nd release. Or plot twist... The alternate ending is him trying to rewrite history on his mind and this game is about bringing it the truth.

Holy cow, my mind is reeling. I've been waxing on about how fantastic the DtL series was for almost a decade--how the story is filled with deep characters, intrigue, religious allegory, political satire, and heartwrenching emotion, with a divisive (excellent) ending. This is very exciting, but has me concerned as well. Can a different studio continue the story in a compelling way true to 5th Cell's style? Can a game that effectively undoes DtL2's ending be a worthwhile continuation? And what happens if it's the weak link in the story (ignoring the non-canon Wii disaster)? There's a lot left unknown here, but I want to be optimistic.

YAAAAAA I have been wanting to play this game forever yessss I'm going to buy day one for me and thank's @Noid for helping me catch up lets F***ing GOOOOOOOOOO.

@Noid I just watched the ending and read up on the wiki a little bit and wow the ending is dark! now I see what you mean.

@KayFiOS How did you do that?

Might give it a shot... I played the spongebob one back in the day

Cool! I owned the second one and the SpongeBob spinoff, and while I enjoyed them as a kid, I'm not sure if they still hold up, as I haven't gone back in an extremely long time. This is tapping hard into my nostalgia though, so I'll be keeping a watchful eye on it. It's always great to see a sequel to a franchise that's been dormant for over a decade and you thought was dead forever.

Public service announcement--Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter has a killer soundtrack, and you should do yourself a favor by listening to the full loop of this track. One of my single favorite pieces of music from any game I've ever played. Absolutely beautiful, in my opinion. Criminally underrated, though. Listen to the part at 1:17 and tell me you don't feel anything.

I don't know what drawn to life is. I think i'll stick to some indies and mainline marios.

The first DS game was quite decent. Not the 2nd one though, which I mainly played on the Wii.

The series would suit the Switch, you feel.

@Snatcher (spoiler)Replace parentheses with brackets(/spoiler)

I liked the first game, but as I have no drawing skill he was just a stickman

Next the entire game is going to leak before it’s even announced

I'm Buying the sc its up for peorder. Edit: I kinda thought they were going to try to do a more scribblenutes thing but it looks like the og which is not a bad thing but Its kinda disapointing and why in the world is it going to be on the app store?? I know they did that fro scribblenutes but that was after it came out I don't want to to leave stuff out bc of the app vr but all in all its still cool day one for me.(I hope)

Just a guess guys, but I think that this game is getting released soon

Interesting... Gameplay kind of reminds me of classic Commander Keen.

I liked drawn to life. It was a cute concept. I’d be willing to try again since I’m done with scribblenauts. Nervous by the change in dev though.

My daughter loves the second game. She's def interested in this

Looks cute, but that song in the background is awful.

@AG_Awesome Damn...now I'm interested..

I remember typing in Necronomicon and Cthulhu as a gag when I played one of these games for the first time. Imagine my absolute shock and delight when they popped onscreen! The Necronomicon even summoned forth zombies and skeletons! I think Azathoth was in there too. Clearly the creators of this game have an amazing sense of humor.

Uhh... is it me, or does the game look like an incredibly cheap flash game? This is not the graphical upgrade I was expecting, even for something this simple. I'll still be keeping an eye on it, but early impressions aren't high.

@0blivion I believe you're thinking about Scribblenauts, not Drawn to Life. They have similar premises and art styles, though, and I think they're both developed by 5th Cell, so it's an understandable mix-up.

@KayFiOS that was a good hidden spoiler. I was trying to guess what you put before revesling it. It made me chuckle 😊

@Not_Soos same here.

Ok is that music playing in the trailer a remix of the creation time music or is that just me?

@Not_Soos yeah, Scribblenauts.

Loved being the stoner Womble in the original DS title. Am interested in this if it is nice and cheap, will probably grab it once it is under £5 in an eshop sale.

Scribblenauts takes self discipline to be really fun - you have to mandate to yourself that you cannot reuse words. Becomes really challenging and fantastic when you have to actually really think hard of new objects and items.

And you thought 3D All-Stars was the worst kept gaming secret of 2020.

@Bizzyb The game is probably like 7/10 with gameplay but story is 9-10/10. And music is up there with donkey Kong country 1 & 2 with my fav soundtracks ever.

Hopefully this new one retains the spirit of the others. The new trailer gives me hope
