As Nigel Thornberry would say, “smashing!”
Nickelodeon is getting in on the platform fighting game genre with its animated cast of characters. Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl was announced today for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch this fall, and it’s got a whole host of Nick stars ready to brawl.
Revealed over at , Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl looks like a platform fighter, or put a little more directly, a Super Smash Bros.-alike. It definitely seems like there’s some knocking around of opponents, and the moves definitely have the sort of animations and attack style you’d expect from a Smash.
There have been plenty of other platform fighters in the past, and Nickelodeon is no stranger to show-crossover games. The prospect of fighting on some platform🐓s with them, though, sounds kind of entertaining.
The full lineup isn’t announced yet, but here’s a rundown of who’s confirmed to appear in the game so far:
- Michelangelo (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
- Leonardo (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
- Nigel Thornberry (The Wild Thornberrys)
- Powdered Toast Man (Ren & Stimpy)
- SpongeBob SquarePants (SpongeBob SquarePants)
- Oblina (Aaahh!!! Real Monsters)
- Lucy Loud (The Loud House)
- Lincoln Loud (The Loud House)
- Helga (Hey Arnold!)
- Reptar (Rugrats)
- Zim (Invader Zim)
- Danny Phantom (Danny Phantom)
It’s a pretty solid lineup, though I’m hoping that it being unfinished means there’s a certain element-bending Avatar on the way. Though honestly, Powdered Toast Man is not a character I would’ve ever expected to see in a video game in the year 2021.
There are also 20 levels based on Nickelodeon shows, like Jellyfish Fields from SpongeBob, as well as both local and online support for four🔥 players and unlockable new moves for fight🌸ers.
We’ll see if this has any sticking power, but any fighting game that includes Nigel Thornberry in its cast has my attention.
