Courtesy of Nintendo Power comes the first juicy titbits of the follow-up to last year's hit DS game...

After Scribblenauts passed the magic million earlier this year, it was only a matter of time before we heard solid details of an inevitable sequel to the creative puzzle game.

The latest issue of Nintendo Power managed to get the scoop on what is predictably being currently dubbed Scribblenauts 2, and it's already sending us into a flurry of anticipation. The sequel promises an additional 10,000 words available on top of the estimated 25,000+ the first game had in its engine. Rather more exciting is the prospect that adjectives will play a big role in the next game, not just concrete nouns.

Those put of from the first game by the fiddly controls should also be pleased to hear that they have been allegedly fixed for the follow-up. More good news is that the level editor has been fleshed out, there are 120 "new and improved" levels, more merits have been added and a new hint hint system will be sported. Finally, the 'par' system which challenged players to complete levels by using a limited amount of words has been removed.

All in all, it sounds like anyone who passed up on Scribblenauts last year really doesn't want to miss out on the opportunity second time round. Scribblenauts 2 is aiming for release this Autumn.
