Nintendo has announced that the long-delayed Wii U and 3DS versions of Scribblenauts Unlimited are to arrive in Europe in December - more than a year after its US debut.
The game was originally planned for release alongside the Wii U (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/380112/scribblenauts-unlimited-delayed-to-2013-in-europe/) in November 2012. While the US version honoured this date, the EU versions were pushed back to February 2013.

A developer from 5th Cell said at time of the delay that the slip was due to "stuff I can't talk about ... things outside of development".
Nintendo said in a statement: "It has come to light that some changes need to be implemented within the game before we launch them across Europe."
The delay is thought - but not officially confirmed - to be linked to a lawsuit (http://wiiudaily.com/2013/05/nyan-cat-scribblenauts-lawsuit/) filed by 'Nyan Cat' creator Christopher Orlando Torres against 5th Cell and publisher Warner Bros. for the game's unauthorised use of the popular internet meme character.
