Thank you, SPPf! :)
According to the newest issue of Nintendo Power, a Scribblenauts sequel is indeed set to invade your DS by the end of this year. The original Scribblenauts was a delightful title that was widely praised for its creative sandbox and challenging puzzles. Yet a fair few criticized it for its imprecise control and physics. Well, developer 5th Cell has not only decided to do something about its problems, but beef up the entire experience. Unfortunately, no scans of the article are available at the moment (if I find any, I'll post 'em), but here are a few article snippets from some historically reliable sites:

-10,000 more words (adjectives)
-120 new and improved levels
-Adjectives play a big role (can be strung together)
-Improved controls
-Fleshed out level editor
-Par system removed
-More merits
-New hint system
-Coming this Fall
Personally, I'm delighted at the fact that 5th Cell is taking the criticisms of the first title to heart, as it really was a quirky game with limitless potential that was held back by a few annoyances. I still enjoyed the game, don't get me wrong, but I am overjoyed to see a sequel in the works so rapidly.5th Cell is readying a sequel to Scribblenauts for a fall release, according to an article from next month's Nintendo Power.
Once again exclusive for DS, Scribblenauts 2 will feature improved controls, which were a big issue with the first title. There will now be D-pad controls for the on-screen avatar, as well as improved stylus controls. The developers also promise that the camera will be better.
10,000 new words will also be added, but instead of new objects, the majority of the added words will be adjectives. You can now string adjectives together, as well.
The levels will be deeper and no longer feature a stable of answers that solve everything. The par system has been removed, and there will be more merits, which were the achievement system from the original.
Lastly, the hint and physics system will see improvement.
The original Scribblenauts sold more than one million copies, and also won a slew of awards at D.I.C.E. last month.
Scribblenauts 2, developed by 5th Cell and published by Warner Bros., is coming out this fall for Nintendo DS.
