Yesterday we reported about both of these games being in the top 10. I had said that I was hoping to see Mario take the #1 position. Very glad to see that happen! Also fantastic news to see Zelda move up even higher.
A 25 year-old man has been arrested in Japan for allegedly threatening the lives of two Nintendo executives. Apparently, those weren't his only threats. Sankei News reports that on May 20, the suspect allegedly accessed the online inquiry form on Nintendo's homepage via his home computer and named two Nintendo execs he was going to kill "sooner or later."

Maxwell’s back on the search for those precious starites and starite shards! That’s right, the Scribblenauts series continues with Scribblenauts Unlimited, coming out on December 6th for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. To whet your appetite for all the brilliant brainteasing action that’s in store, we’ve updated our official gamepages with loads of info about the games!
Fans of the franchise will already be familiar with the main idea of Scribblenauts: players are faced with madcap puzzle situations and asked to come up with creative solutions. With the hero Maxwell’s magical notepad in hand, you jot down the name of anything you can think of and watch it spring to life in the game! You’ll find yourself in all kinds of puzzling pickles, from needing to retrieve unruly kittens from trees to cheering up depressed clowns – but will your summoned suggestions solve the problem, or make it worse?
With the addition of Nintendo characters, a new open world to explore, an object library and a handy hint system – as well as platform-specific features for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS – Scribblenauts Unlimited takes the classic gameplay of the series to the next level. Head to our page for Scribblenauts Unlimited on Wii U to get the skinny on HD visuals, the object editor, multiplayer and more! If handheld is more your style, our page for Scribblenauts Unlimited on Nintendo 3DS will tell you all you need to know about the version you can take with you on-the-go!
Scribblenauts Unlimited will be available from December 6th in packaged form from retail stores, and as a downloadable version via Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.
