Scribblenauts Unlimited gets Nintendo exclusive content on Wii U
Up until a couple years ago it was pretty rare to see any kind of Nintendo content cross over into other IPs, even in ports exclusive to Nintendo hardware. Link's inclusion in Soul Calibur 2 on the GameCube was a big deal, and made that version of the game a top seller. Thankfully Nintendo is more diplomatic with their IPs these days, as we've seen with all the Nintendo-themed costumes in the Tekken Tag Tournament 2 port for Wii U.
It turns out Scribblenauts Unlimited is getting some Nintendo love as well. The Wii U version will supposedly let you spawn characters and items from the Mario and Zelda series using the iconic Scribblenauts notepad. I can't tell you the number of times I wanted to pit the Hylian royal guard against a radioactive robot dinosaur, and now it looks like that dream will be a reality. Of course as a lapsed Nintendo fanboy I'd love to shake all my favorite franchises into Scribblenauts, with some StarFox, Metroid, Kirby and Pikmin causing chaos at Maxwell's whim, but that might be flying too close to the sun. Come to think of it that kind of sounds like a typical Smash Bros. match.

Interactive Entertainment announces that its highly anticipated Scribblenauts Unlimited game will feature even more than ever before, with Nintendo themed bonus content. Players can summon dozens of their favorite characters and items from the Mario™ and Legend of Zelda™ franchises exclusively in the Wii U™ version of the game.
Players will delight in producing fantastical and sometimes hilarious interactions between the Mario and Legend of Zelda characters and objects, alongside everyone’s favorite word-wielding Scribblenauts adventurer, Maxwell.
