In another move that echoes Nintendo’s methods, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl will feature stages based around designs from different Nickelodeon shows and franchises as well. The game will also include both local and online multiplayer, and is currently set to release this fall on a wide range of different platforms. Although more information will likely be revealed in the upcoming months, All-Star Brawl has already generated a significant amount of hype since its announcement, raising the question of whether it can genuinely compete with the exact game it seems to imitate: Super Smash Bros . Given that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s final DLC character will be coming in the near future, this could be the perfect moment for another brawler with popular characters to step
Like its less-than-stellar cousin the All Stars Brawl Pad , the Brawl Stick is fully featured. This stick is wired and the cable is four meters long, so you should be able to sit as far from the console as you need to. In addition to being built strongly, the metal base helps it stay firmly seated on your lap, but a table is even better. An advanced turbo function allows you to program all eight of the action buttons. The control area features eight small lights that indicate whether or not you’ve programmed a specific button, and this is all pretty awes
Looking towards the bottom of Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl ‘s box art, there are two heads that would appear to be separate characters. In actuality, they are both one whole character, as the art seems to be showing off one of Nickelodeon’s stranger creations: CatDog. Cat and Dog are conjoined siblings that face a number of challenges due to their radically different personalities, but they often find some way to work together eventually. It will be very interesting to see how this dynamic translates to Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl ‘s gameplay. Perhaps their elongated body will allow for mechanics similar to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate ‘s Min Min , though this is purely speculat
Yesterday, it was announced that Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is due to launch this fall . While the reveal trailer featured a variety of iconic characters like SpongeBob SquarePants from… Well, SpongeBob SquarePants, Michaelangelo and Leonardo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Nigel Thornberry from The Wild Thornberrys, one particular Nickelodeon series was weirdly absent: Avatar .
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl isn’t the first time a different studio has branched into Smash Bros .’ territory. PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale tried to latch onto the trend back in 2012. The game was met with mixed reviews, however, as many criticized its clumsy execution and relative lack of content. Ultimately, a PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale sequel never happened despite rumors, and since then it’s seemed as though no other major company has pushed to use Nintendo’s winning formula. While there have arguably been a few similar games such as Brawlhalla , none have had major pull or combined enough notable franchises to draw significant attent
The centerpiece of the Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl box art appears to be one of Nickelodeon’s most classic and controversial creations, Ren and Stimpy. The psychotic Chihuahua and dopey Manx cat are fondly remembered by many of the people that grew up with one of the earliest eras of Nickelodeon , so it’s great to see them be represented in this collection of Nickelodeon history. Considering that they haven’t been officially announced, there’s no telling how they will play in the game, but it’s completely possible that Ren and Stimpy will function similarly to how the Ice Climbers do in Super Smash Br
That’s just a stage, though. I mean, it would be weird to have Avatar stages and no Avatar characters, but it’s not necessarily impossible. Fortunately, the actual cover art for All-Star Brawl features at least two silhouettes that are unmistakably supposed to represent Avatar characters. I’ve circled Korra and Aang below, who can be distinguished by their braid and ear, respectively.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl ‘s confirmed characters have already given a lot of fans something to be excited about, and the game’s silhouetted box art is only feeding that excitement even more. There are still some characters that aren’t very easy to make out, however, so there’s really no telling how expansive the game’s roster will be. It’s clear that developers Ludosity and Fair Play Labs aren’t afraid to include faces old and new, so Nickelodeon fans will just have to remain patient until more characters are ready to be announ
This may sound rather bare-bones from a content standpoint at first but, for the relatively low price that Modus Games is asking for Override: Recommended Reading Mech City Brawl , there’s a surprisingly sufficient amount of fun to be had with the game. In fact, while the multiplayer will prove to be the biggest draw for Override: Mech City Brawl , its single-player campaign should not be discounted. It can perhaps a little repetitive at times, but there’s a real sense of accomplishment from fighting off a hoard of monsters while trying to save the wo
