"9.15.09
Judgment Day
Scribble me excited." -Odnetnin

So says my Nintendo Life forum signature.

I am Odnetnin, gamer. I've gamed since the day I got to "borrow" my uncle's Nintendo 64 for a few years, eventually acquiring a Game Boy Color, a Game Boy Advance SP, two Nintendo DS Lites, and a Nintendo DSi on the handheld front, and a PlayStation 1, Nintendo GameCube, and a Nintendo Wii on the home console front. I've since sold the SP and one of the DS Lites, and returned the PS1 to its original owner.

It would be reasonable to conclude that I love games, and I love Nintendo. I love their franchises (Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Super Smash Bros., and Punch-Out!! are some of my favorites), and I'm eagerly awaiting new entries in storied series such as New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, The Legend of Zelda Wii 2, Metroid: Other M...the list goes on. For a long time I've been content with the selection of first-party games on each system I own.

Rarely do I purchase a third-party DS or Wii release. Even more rarely do I get very excited about third-party releases. Rarest of all do I get more excited for a third-party release than my personal favorite game of all time, Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Scribblenauts defies the odds.

If you know about the game, good for you. If you are anticipating it, better still. If you don't know about it or aren't hyped for it, this is actually the blog for you. I'm going to spend the next 10 days until the game launches talking about it's coolest features; why it's a must-have. And when it comes out...expect impressions, a full review, pics, and maybe even video.

I'll close with the four words everyone has been saying: It's gonna be big.
