Warner Bros announced today that they will be publishing a new IP for the Nintendo DS called Scribblenauts. It is being described as a sandbox style puzzle game where the goal is to get your character (Maxwell) acquire enough starites to advance to the next level. You do this by using the touch-screen to solve puzzles by writing down words for objects and using any combination of these objects to get your answer. The game will feature over 200 levels and is being developed by 5th Cell, who has put out Drawn to Life and Lock's Quest previously. Look for Scribblenauts to hit the DS in Fall of 2009.
