Title: You can only buy one DS game in September. Scribblenauts vs Mario & Luigi Bowser
Post by: AV on September 04, 2009, 11:46:06 PM
So assuming you had the money for only one ds game this month. Which one would you pick and why ? A first party Nintendo game based on a well known and overall enjoyable franchise or a new 3rd party game with a totally unique idea that hasn't been proven yet.
NO COP OUT's. You either vote for one game or you don't vote.
I never would have expected to be more hyped for a 3rd party ' experimental ' game but I am very hyped for Scribblenauts. I originally bought my DS for unique ideas and this without a doubt is one. I loved the first Mario & Luigi game but the 2nd one was so mediocre it killed my hype for this game. :-\ However this game does look unique from the other two games and looks like a ton of fun.
Scribblenauts just seems like pure unique fun. Something you show off to friends and family and something you could play allot of without getting bored of. It might not work out with the final game but it's just something I cannot ignore and have to try on my own. ;D :D

Scribblenauts hands-down.
Well, given my reputation, that's no surprise. But WAIT! There's more!
To begin with, I was disappointed with the past Mario vs. Luigi games. The first one I loved but partners in time totally didn't hook me.
Also, Mario & Luigi is a bit of a known quantity. Scirbblenauts is more alluring on it's pure experimentally...ness.
And also...come on, Nintendo doesn't need the help.

Tough call, I'm getting both. I would lean towards M&L because it is a full fledged game, while Scribblenauts, while very unique seems to be more of a puzzle oriented design, not to mention we have no idea how level design will hold up to the crazy database of items.

Well, I don't have a DS, so I don't know much about either game. But if I were to get one, it'd be Mario and Luigi, because it's a Mario game, and an RPG, so it'd be a safe bet.

Khushrenada: Ace Detective. It's cheap since it is on Virtual Console which is important since I spent my gaming money on Professor Layton 2.

I'd go with Scribblenauts but only because I still have M&L 2 and SMRPG on the VC sitting here unfinished.

I would say support Scribblenauts since it looks like one of those few games that actually delivers. Mario and Luigi will be fine, they won't be going anywhere.

I think M&L, Scribblenauts is more likely to receive a pricedrop later.

It's only $30. This isn't 360 games where you wait 2 months and it goes $20 down.

I voted Scribblenauts since the last 2 games I played on my DS were RPGs.

I bought Drawn to Life. It's told me that while a game's design may seem genius, and while critics and reporters might love the half hour they spend with the game whenever they get the chance, that deep down, a gimmick is still a gimmick, and you should wait and see if the gimmick is worth using for the hours you'd involve yourself with said game.
So, I'm waiting on Scribblenauts. The psuedo-prequel scared me away. I'll see what people who beat the game have to say, and I'll see what those who can't complete have to put in to, then pick it up later if I'm still interested.

I'm struggling with this. I think Mario & Luigi comes out the day before I leave for London, and I need a plane game, so it'll probably be that. Scribblenauts will be in my library someday, though.

The difference is that DtL's gimmick was merely graphical, Scribblenauts is actually using it for gameplay.

Good point, good point. Still, it's something I'm hesitant over, despite that difference. That said, the vacuum this poll suggests doesn't exist, so I'll probably wind up with both.

I've heard nothing but great things about M&L3, and how it's a return to the form of Superstar Saga. With that in mind, my vote goes to Mario & Luigi.
