Nickelodeon All Star Brawl starring TMNT

[Coola Yagami]

IGN just announced it (if someone can find a link?) But it's a Smash clone and will have Leo and Mikey among characters from stuff like Hey Arnold, SpongeBob SquarePants and the like.

Oddly enough they are going with the 80s look. Maybe they figured 2012 is too old by now and the sooner we forget about Rise the better.

Dang... They even got Powdered Toastman in this... Damn...

[oldmanwinters]

:teek:

"Starring" or "Featuring" the TMNT?

Yeah I just watched the trailer, 'your favourite Nick characters'.... except with the 80s turtles.

[Coola Yagami]

:teek:

"Starring" or "Featuring" the TMNT?

I mean... Kinda both, right? Obviously with a title like that you're gonna get the usual Nickelodeon peeps like Hey Arnold and SpongeBob. They also added the Loud House. I'm glad they remembered their roots and added Ren and Stimpy.

[oldmanwinters]

I hope we get at least one TMNT-verse character who is not a Turtle: a classic villain or ally.


Oddly enough they are going with the 80s look. Maybe they figured 2012 is too old by now and the sooner we forget about Rise the better.

It is amused to see Nick is now ALL-IN on the classic cartoon stylings of the TMNT, even though that's the one series they don't actually own (so far as I know). I'll be shocked if we don't see a new CGI series or film based on the classic cartoon Turtles in the next three years.

[CyberCubed]

They still used the Nick 2012 designs in the Kart Racing games they made recently. Funny how the Rise designs were just swept under the rug though.

[sdp]

I don't want anyone to get their hopes up but this is just a sequel and/or port of the All star brawl mobile games, so yeah it's only going to be the turtles, and it won't be the deepest game play. Just a simple smash clone with a basic roster of the most popular nicktoon characters. It should be alright if that's what you're expecting.

It does look like it favors consoles, rather than mobile platforms. I didn't see a Steam/PC icon on the supported devices, however.

[CyberCubed]

So I guess this is the unofficial sequel to TMNT Smash Up from 2009.

[sdp]

I'm just surprised how this game started off as a forgettable flash game on Nicks website, kept getting "upates/sequels" until it became a mobile game and now is getting a console version. It has featured even non-nick characters like Power Rangers and Rabbids.

Jingle Brawl
Super Brawl (Super Brawl Summer) (Super Fall Brawl)
Super Brawl 2
Super Brawl 3 (Super Brawl 3: Just got real)
Super Brawl 4
Scary Brawl (spin-off beat em up)
Super Brawl World
Super Brawl Universe

So this is the 9th entry. Wow. I think the only character who has appeared in all games is Sponge Bob.

[Sumac]

Can't make worse than Konami's Mutant Melee? Right? Right? :lol:

[CyberCubed]

Even though TMNT almost never gets their own games anymore (outside of mobile stuff), it's interesting how many crossovers they've gotten.

Injustice 2 DLC (which is the best they've gotten), Nick Kart Racing 1 and 2 (I heard the second is actually a decent game for what it is), Brawlhalla and now this All-star Brawl. Nick really is getting them to appear in a lot of games these days which is good, because they were just stuck in mobile phone hell for awhile.

You ARE aware of the console game that got announced a few months back, right?

[The Deadman]

This is the trailer for the game, though
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw4yrx6zhrw&ab_channel=GameTrailers

[Mugic]

There's alot of buzz surrounding the game even within the fighting game community, turns out reason is because the developers of Slap City are the ones making the game.

[sdp]

people are just having fun at the possibilities of a nick crossover game. the threads on /v/ about it are hilarious and nostalgic with people going deep into the library of shows to choose a characters/stages and themes and man nick has so much content to choose from.
Face from Nick Jr. battling Alex Mack at the kids choice award stage with the hidden temple, temple music? Amazing. No way it meets any of our expectations no matter how awesome the game is now that some of us are going crazy wild with our imaginations.

[Coola Yagami]

eh, I wouldn't get too excited. It's just the characters in this game with maybe 6 or so as DLC later on. Since the Turtles have to share the limelight with so many other series and we only get Leo and Mikey as default, their DLC will most likely just be Raph and Don. Maybe and I say maaaaaaaaybe, Shredder, but I'm assuming having all 4 Turtles in this would be enough for them. Personally since Powdered Toastman is in this, I'd want Ren and Stimpy themselves.

[oldmanwinters]

2 new character reveals this week:

Nah, you just need a bigger screen!

Anyhoo, it's better now.

[CyberCubed]

What's with all these games making April a fighter now? For a game like this it would have been better to have Shredder playable.

[neatoman]

What's with all these games making April a fighter now? For a game like this it would have been better to have Shredder playable.

Shredder is obviously going to be a boss character, unless you mean the Utrom Shredder or something, that just wouldn't make much sense and it would likely be confusing for the player. As for making April a fighter in games, haven't they been doing that since the Mega Drive version of Tournament Fighters?

Anyway, would I suggest you advocate for the inclusion of Karai as a playable character instead.
Edit: I realised I screwed up here, I thought this thread was about the beat 'em up, of course Shredder can be in this one. I still stand by putting Karai in this game though.

[oldmanwinters]

I think the Nick AS Brawl is looking like a faithful attempt to integrate her into a fighting game while keeping true to her character. She does some attack moves, but she just about always uses a prop like the handheld mic (which charges up?), a rolling video camera or a boom mic (from what I can tell).

Honestly, it's what a lot of Turtle fans wanted to see in TMNT Smash Up, which was advertised as being a blend of Turtle-lore as opposed to based off one particular franchise yet ended up looking exactly like the Imagi film with 4Kids voices. The thought of April using "news room prop" attacks would have been viewed as a creative contribution, rather than just taking the conventional way out and making her a ninja-esque combatant.

[TigerClaw]

Here's gameplay with April.

29BpxAr7_eQ

[Shark_Blade]

OT April, Leo and Mike. I’m sold lmao.

She looks so good too wow.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

I find it odd that April gets revealed before Don and Raph.

[oldmanwinters]

I find it odd that April gets revealed before Don and Raph.

For a game like this, I think the Turtles should basically be re-skins of each other with slightly different stats.

[sdp]

Yeah, it's not a tmnt smash game, it's a nick crossover game, id be surprised if we get any more TMNT characters and yeah the turtles are most likely clones with few differences.
And those asking why April is even fighting here we'll you have catdog and Rugrats characters fighting as well so that's a null point.

[CyberCubed]

Raph/Don may not even be in it. Having 5 TMNT characters may be too much for a game like this.

I'm still surprised they went with the classic designs rather than the Nick 2012 designs, since those Turtles are what I think of when I think of the Nick TMNT.

[Coola Yagami]

Honestly seeing April and the creativity of her attacks makes me wish this was a straight up 80s TMNT SMASH UP 2. Screw the Nicktoons, they got enough crossover games.

Imagine a roster of 20 or so 80s TMNT characters but then you get the movie turtles, shredder, Tokka and Rahzar as dlc.

[sdp]

The entire roster leaked, no other "big" revels unless you consider garfield one and no more TMNT characters (sowwy donatello and raph fans

https://i.imgur.com/M8lKk09.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/4TonaTz.jpg

[Coola Yagami]

Hopefully there's some DLC down the road. Right off the bat I'd say if Aang is there, def add Korra, then Don and Raph, at least one Danny Phantom villain. Then I guess a second round of DLC that will add at least one more character to any series that only has one representative so that every series has at least 2.

[Chaotix12345]

Even if it turns out real, it's not the ENTIRE roster. (It's missing Zim and Korra, who appeared on the silhouetted form of the boxart.)

[Allio]

Seems the leak is fake.

[Andrew NDB]

What's with all these games making April a fighter now? For a game like this it would have been better to have Shredder playable.

I remember "playing TMNT" on the playground as a kid. If you weren't a Turtle you would be Shredder. "Being April" was something you would threaten the other kids with being forced to be, as the worst possible thing you could be in TMNT.

[TigerClaw]

April was a fighter on the Genesis version of Tournament Fighters, So I think its fair to see her being playable in this game.

[sdp]

The only people upset at April being playable are either incels or boomers, most people seem happy. Here we have an example of April using karate in the 1987 show.
gzW_a6T4VPc

Not to mention Archie April learned martial arts from splinter, 2k3 April and Movie April fought and defeated Karai. 2012 April is a mutant with Jean Gray powers and Rise April fights like Jackie Chan.

As far as the leak, those models look too good to be fake, perhaps it's not the full roster but it seems a big enough roster for what the game is, it isn't meant to be a AAA game with a roster as big as Smash. It might only be missing the secret characters, I'd love it if there were more characters but even this roster is good. The person who leaked the image was the one who said April was in it a while back and he was right.

[Zulithe]

I fully expected them to use the Rise designs before I saw footage... this might be cool. Wish it had all four turtles (maybe future dlc?)

[TigerClaw]

There's a big resurgence for classic TMNT to come back, Its what were seeing with Shredder's Revenge, and the fact this game is using classic TMNT instead of the more recent Rise version.

The mainstream public knows the 87 TMNT more then the other versions that came after it.

[Coola Yagami]

The only people upset at April being playable are either incels or boomers, most people seem happy.

Don't really see why incels or boomers would not want to see April fighting, but OK. Especially in a game where most of the cast would be legit useless in an actual fight with the exceptions of Aang, Korra and I guess Powdered Toast Man.

[Ninjinister]

What's with all these games making April a fighter now? For a game like this it would have been better to have Shredder playable.

I feel like it's very much a why not/who cares non-issue, she's there probably simply because nobody expects her. At least in the case of crossover games, part of the fun is seeing characters you never expected arrive (although, I will admit, in the place/prior to stalwarts is weird). Like in Smash, nobody would have though the humanoid-shaped blob from Game & Watch games would show up, Peach fighting in canon before Melee could probably just be narrowed down to the western SMB2, and Zelda didn't do much/any outside of as Sheik before that, either, and don't get me started on Wii Fit Trainer.

Also the Turtles games have never been strict about sticking to the canon of the sources, I mean just the games "based" on 87 cartoon also have TMNT Adventures, Mirage, and movie characters all over, their own takes on certain characters, and a bunch more. There's enough to kind of call them their own mini-/separate continuity, or even each game or VERSION of the game with their own continuities. The Japanese game manuals especially say stuff like April is Splinter's daughter and the Triceraton is a mutant. Then we have Splinter turning back to Yoshi at the end of the first NES game, and Stiockman randomly as a human again in HyperStone Heist....

Plus as Coola said, almost nobody in this game ever could be considered "fighters" anyway...

To be fair, for whatever reason the Triceraton in the Playmates line made it sound like he was a hired thug actually named Triceraton, so his appearance in the Genesis game ran with that.

The real surprise was by the time the OT actually showed Triceratons, they actually went closer to the Mirage comics, an alien race called Triceratons. As a kid that only knew the cartoon/Playmates stuff I was confused.

A similar case happened to the Foot Gunners in 2K3. In the toyline and game they were just heavily armed Foot Ninja, but the cartoon called them Foot Mechs and made them robots.

They do have an unique history!
https://turtlepedia.fandom.com/wiki/Garfield_Meets_The_Teenage_Mutant_Ninja_Turtles

Probably the two great anchors of the 1990s CBS Saturday Morning block.

[Allio]

Wait, so Garfield is actually confirmed or we still talking about the leak?

[Cure]

That looks really bad.

[The Deadman]

After seeing the game play, this actually looks pretty good. They took the term Smash clone literal, it seems. Just gotta play good.

[Coola Yagami]

Are there voices?

[oldmanwinters]

Are there voices?

In this day and age, it is strange to watch a fighting game with only music and sound effects. You would think the game would be overflowing with voice clips from the Nick archive.

[Andrew NDB]

If he isn't then my interest has gone from 10% to 0%.

So weird that Raph and Don are not playable.

[neatoman]

So weird that Raph and Don are not playable.

I still think it's weirder that they went with Fred Wolf and not the 2012 Turtles, or really any version of TMNT that Viacom owns the full rights to. It's not like kids who watch Nickelodeon are immediately going to think of the show that 25 years ago and never aired on Nickelodeon, or even had any real re-runs since. At most they're just going to think "Oh yeah, those annoying alternate universe turtles that showed up for no reason a few times".

Not to defend this, but you could say the same thing about Ren & Stimpy. That ended about the same time as Fred Wolf.

I get the feeling this game might be more for the adults (who watched the 90s Nick shows as kids) than today's yungins.

[Allio]

The character list currently was more pushed by ludacity. Apparently Nick wanted a more typical roster. If you look at the box cover the art style of Leonardo seemed to borrow more from 2012 Leo with the bands, seems like it was made prior to the developers covincing nick to use the 87 turtles.

[neatoman]

Yes but...

Nickelodeon/Viacom owns the original Ren & Stimpy show, not just the characters by virtue of having bought the source material.
Ren & Stimpy was always a Nickelodeon show, Fred Wolf TMNT has never aired on Nickelodeon or Nicktoons.
Viacom benefits from Ren & Stimpy DVD sales distributed by Paramount and streaming of the show on Paramount+, FW TMNT isn't distributed by any of Viacom's subsidiaries and they don't see a penny from any official release of the show.


It's just weird to label this TMNT cartoon as "Nickelodeon" when it is quite literally the only TMNT cartoon that has nothing at all to do with Nickelodeon, Nicktoons or Paramount. Even the 4Kids show that wasn't made by Viacom, is still owned by Viacom, has aired on Nicktoons and is on Paramount+. It would actually make way more sense to use the 4Kids Turtles and I don't just say that in a biased sense but in one that would make more sense for corporate, if you want to make kids interested in an older TMNT incarnation, why not go with one you can actually profit from?

[Allio]

Ren and Stimpy got their reveal trailer. Including Aang and Korra we are still waiting on one more character.

[Coola Yagami]

Idk, technically with the 80s turtles appearing on 2K12 and some of the turtle shorts, and the facts that what's selling now are toys based on the 80s TMNT, Turtles in Time and the 90s movies, I guess Nick is profiting more off of them than say... Rise....

Judging by the fact that there have been three unique Avatar stages spotted in footage and that each character has their own stage, our last three reveals for the base game are looking to be Aang, Korra, and a third Avatar rep.

Wait, they basically made Ren and Stumpy one character?

It's a shame that there are four turtles and they all look alike cause in games like these they take up 4 slots. Like it's weird them only having 2 turtles but to be honest I'm happier seeing April rather than just Raph and hopefully Shredder than just Don.

Honestly, that's the no.1 thing that a sequel to this game needs, if they don't add voice acting via updates. Someone added in voice clips to the trailer and it makes such a difference to the atmosphere of the game.

Between this game with such a diverse and interesting cast, and just another likely anime swordsman reveal, I will choose the former everytime.

[Ninjinister]

why was that Grayson and Sinterniklaas??

[Chaotix12345]

I'd guess probably because they had easily located, applicable clips from the various 2000s era games that would fit a frantic fighting game situation. (With grunts, smack talk, etc.) The uploader would've probably had to search a bit deeper through various episodes for OT cast clips to suit every bit of the trailer and they already had a bunch of other characters to assign clips to, so they cut some corners where possible.

Heh, well, there is no shortage of clean, fighting-game tailored April voice clips by Renae Jacobs, thanks to the TMNTxJL Turbo project (http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showpost.php?p=1903540&postcount=16). Check it out if interested.

If Nick ever decides to call her up to make it official for a future update of All-Star Brawl, she's had good practice!

Looks like we should expect some major patches to this game post-release:

Or... ORRRRR... just do it in THIS game. This is almost (though not as bad) as in making this one player, but hey don't worry, the sequel will be 2-players. Maybe.


I mean they can get imitators for some of the older characters if they can't get them.

[FredWolfLeonardo]

Or... ORRRRR... just do it in THIS game.


That's what I meant when I said they could add the voices in via update, I doubt they will go to that effort though. Even pre recorded voice clips copied and pasted from the cartoons would be better than nothing.

[Allio]

So officially all 20 characters are revealed. Remember we are getting 2 characters free post launch. They will either be new ip (which one is supposed to be Garfield), a tmnt rep, Rugrats rep, or hey Arnold.

[Allio]

The game has been Datamined and yes Andrew, Garfield is coming and Shredder is going to be the second character. We even had a look at what seems to be the Garfield stage.

There is also a list of “names” audio by the announcer. Doesn’t confirm characters, probably there as a precaution.

I wouldnt mind fighting as Garfield, lol.

[Andrew NDB]

The game has been Datamined and yes Andrew, Garfield is coming and Shredder is going to be the second character.

Well, consider me a little bit interested again!

I wouldnt mind fighting as Garfield, lol.

Right? There's far worse ways to waste time than f***ing up most of those characters up with him. Including the Fred Wolf TMNT.

[sdp]

I'm surprised viacom hasn't done much with Garfield, they acquired him a while back. Then again besides merchandise the only successful media he's ever had was the 80s specials and the 90s cartoon.

Heh, it doesn't take long for the internet to discover everything. More confirmation to me that "Ready Player One" is such a ridiculous concept. :tlol:
https://techraptor.net/gaming/news/nickelodeon-all-star-brawl-datamine-shows-garfield-and-more


Data mining has ruined any game secret for the last decade, the only way to have a surprise is by DLC.

[Shark_Blade]

The lack of voice acting in this game really makes it feel hollow. I’m still interested cause it seems to play smoothly like Smash.
and yes Andrew, Garfield is coming
I thought Andrew Garfield Spider-Man was gonna come :lol:

[Andrew NDB]

I'm surprised viacom hasn't done much with Garfield, they acquired him a while back.

Huh, it looks like yeah. I had no idea Jim Davis "sold out" but there it is... he sold Paws, Inc. (his company) to Viacom in 2019. Well that's really sad.

[oldmanwinters]

Huh, it looks like yeah. I had no idea Jim Davis "sold out" but there it is... he sold Paws, Inc. (his company) to Viacom in 2019. Well that's really sad.

You know, for every bad stereotype the Garfield comic strips have been associated with, the original "His 9 Lives" collection is surprisingly bold take on the character. It's very "Mirage Guest Era," and I had only been familiar with it through my fading memories of the TV special by the same name. Last month I finally picked up the original book and was quite impressed:
https://www.amazon.com/Garfield-His-Lives-Jim-Davis/dp/0345320611

Apparently, it's a Family Guy joke (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbcDLoASJE8) too.

[sdp]

Well Jim Davis made it clear he had always made Garfield to make money, still he was a nice guy, he sent me some signed stuff and sent it out to me just because I wrote an email about a Garfield comic I enjoyed. So even if he never really did much with Paws Inc, sucks to have a multinational company own it when it was just him before.

Felix the Cat was also sold to Dreamworks like 10 years ago and they never did anything, with that and now the character is public domain.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

Yeah, and I forgot what the reason was for it. It's just so strange. I would think he would want to keep it for as long as he lives but that's mostly me comparing him to Charles Schulz.

I remember reading that one story at a book store. It felt weird as a child. Never knew it was adapted to animation til years later and I've still yet to watch it. Though I imagine it's no different from the book.

That's nice. I wish I could meet him, since I never got to meet Charles Schulz. Was surprised Schulz's family a while back sold the Peanuts property as I could've sworn he entrusted it to them to own the rights. Though based on what the new owners are doing with it now, it doesn't look like it's in bad hands.

This is news to me. Felix sold to DreamWorks. I can't see them being interested as Felix hasn't been relevant for so long now. I think the last thing I've watched of him was that forgettable movie in the 80s or 90s.

Speaking of another cat character, I follow the Heathcliff Instagram page and they're still doing new strips of him everyday.

[Allio]

Some more datamining and we apparently might be getting alternate costumes. Mikey may get a Mirage style alternate costume.

[sdp]

The lack of any shows music and voice actors is a shame, it feels weird without them. With that said the game succeeds in being exactly what it's supposed to be, it's a solid smash clone with nick characters. I hope this game becomes a staple every few years with a very different cast each time and hopefully this does well so next time they have the budget for licensed music/VAs. Great game.

There's plenty of characters from shows I would have loved to appear but I am shocked Fairly Oddparents doesn't have any representation with how long that show ran.

[Allio]

Seems to be some issue from the frederator studios that makes the show, or at least none of their shows has been in any of these recent crossovers (though there is the exception of the mobile games)

[FredWolfLeonardo]

There's plenty of characters from shows I would have loved to appear but I am shocked Fairly Oddparents doesn't have any representation with how long that show ran.

I bet if that show got a character, it would be Cosmo or Timmy s dad rather than Timmy himself. Just like how Nigel was chosen over Eliza due to the memes.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

I bet if that show got a character, it would be Cosmo or Timmy s dad rather than Timmy himself. Just like how Nigel was chosen over Eliza due to the memes.

Well they'd likely have Cosmo and Wanda as a duo like Ice Climbers and Ren & Stimpy. Timmy's dad yes but also Vicky and Jorgen Von Strangle. Would love a stage with Doug Dimmadome or a trailer where an invitation flies to Timmy's Dad only to fly past him to Dingleberg's hand with Timmy's Dad growling "Dinkleberg....!"

[Allio]

My choices would be Jenny, El Tigre and Snap

[Andrew NDB]

It'd be neat to have Clarissa on there. Can you imagine?

Why is this cancer everywhere? Let him rot.

Ideally I would have had 1 Turtle per incarnation, but I might consider picking this game up when I have steam cash to burn.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

I just picked up the game and yeah it's just Smash Bros with Nickelodeon characters. Apparently this game is not only selling out everywhere but there's a short supply of copies for it.

It's doing real well in the competitive side from what I hear. So far I main Helga and Toph. They just control so well. Got to get used to the jump button being on a different button than on Ultimate.:lol:

I really hope we get more characters as DLC. Nickelodeon, pay Disney for Doug if it's a problem as Nintendo did it for Sora. Doug is your first Nicktoon for God's sake! But Doug, Rocko, Angry Beavers, Rocket Power, FairlyOdd Parents, Jimmy Neutron, XJ9 of My Life as a Teenage Robot are my most wanted picks. I don't even care for more TMNT representation.

I don't believe they will give us live-action characters but if they do, I'd be down for Kenan & Kel and Cousin Skeeter. The Brothers Garcia is also an obscure one. They would probably be represented through stage themes though. Who could resist Legends of the Hidden Temple or the Aggro Crag from Guts as stages? That'd be epic as hell!

[lonewarrior20]

Played arcade last night for the first time with april on medium, only got knocked out of the ring twice and that's because I kept messing up with the jump. Try on most difficult setting tonight. Had fun.

Looks like this game will be included in some big-box stores' Black Friday sales. I saw various console versions on sale for $19.99 at GameStop (yeah, who would have thought?).

But other than that it’s a solid fighting game. I had fun.

[RaphaelinSTL]

What are the chances they add Raphael and Donatello to the game? I know it’s a bare bones experience, but Injustice 2 really spoiled us on TMNT as fighters and it feels “less than” without all four turtles.

[Andrew NDB]

Are there no voices at all in this? I don't care if they didn't get the original this person or that person, but there should probably be something there. Garfield making quips and puns while fighting could go a long way.

When's the last time Orson and Co have been seen in anything other than the Garfield cartoon and the original comic strip?

[LeotheLateBloomer]

They haven't been used since Garfield and Friends.:tlol:

TMNT and Garfield's inclusions are fine but it's hard to get excited when you don't think of them as Nick, despite ownership.

Like I think of Rocko, Angry Beavers, Rocket Power, etc. And Doug despite now being owned by Disney who we all know are never going to touch the IP again so just sell it to Viacom. They bought Garfield and there's talks of being interested in buying Alvin and the Chipmunks. They can buy Doug, their first Nicktoon.

[oldmanwinters]

They can buy Doug, their first Nicktoon.

They really should. I know Disney hasn't been in the habit of selling IPs for YEARS (they actually did part ways with Power Rangers, right?) but what plans does Disney really have for him? Plus, his best years were at Nickelodeon. "Disney's Doug" just never did it for me.

[sdp]

TL:DR: I dont think Disney would sell Doug and I don't think Viacom would buy doug even if they Disney was willing.

I read an article (https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1999-mar-09-fi-15344-story.html) of when the sale of Doug happened all those years ago from the LA times. According to the article Disney had big plans for doug as if they had robbed nickelodeon blind from their biggest IP, their Doug show was even renamed Disney's Doug. I don't see them selling it, to them it's just more content they have on Disney+ from an IP that invokes nostalgia for free even if they will likely never do anything with the character again, the possibility that someone else could is enough for them to keep it to rot in their vault forever.

I can't think of Disney ever selling off any of their IP, except the Toei tokusatsu library which included Power Rangers, but that one might've had to do with other reasons, they didn't outright own Power Rangers and shared some licenses with Toei who apparently did have some say. It's all speculation of course, especially since we now know Hasbro owns Power Rangers and is burning bridges with Toei apparently. However it's possible that if Disney didn't do something with the IP they could lose it or something so they decided to sell. Disney tried to make Power Rangers work and promoted it heavily but then it decided to kill it and Saban bought it (along with all the other Toei tokusatsu) that they acquired like Beetleborgs and VR Troopers.

Disney only got Power Rangers because they wanted to buy the Fox Family channel and it included all the Fox Kids stuff, so I guess Disney still owns the rest of the Fox Kids library from that original sale like Eek the Cat, Bobby's world and whatnot. They won't sell them even though they have no plans on using any of those properties, if a smaller studio owned them they'd definitely reboot some of those old shows.

Viacom bought TMNT but never bothered to buy the Fred Wolf show, I'm sure they'd sell it for the right price, why would Nick buy it? Because all the merchandise giving them money is based off that show, I doubt it'd be too expensive, it's the most iconic version of the turtles and just in using it for their tweets would make it worth their purchase, but they haven't and likely won't.

A shame Dougs fate is.

TMNT and Garfield's inclusions are fine but it's hard to get excited when you don't think of them as Nick, despite ownership.
.

Agree 100%, I love the TMNT and garfield but thats not what I think of when I think of Nickelodeon. I'd rather have the yellow frog from Gullah Gullah Islan, hell even characters I hated like Rocky and Bullwinkle since they aired constantly on Nick.

[FredWolfLeonardo]

Just got the game today, really excited. Look forward to playing as Zim, Nigel and tmnt using a Gamecube controller.

Yeah but did anyone really like Disney's Doug? I don't think many will bother watching it on Disney+.

It's so weird how we don't have Fairlyodd Parents or Jimmy Nuetron reps given how popular they were. XJ9 from My Life as a Teenage Robot is also a missed opportunity since she's an action hero.

So Shredder is next on the list.

[FredWolfLeonardo]

Yeah, the datamining has all but confirmed that its FW Shredder. Can't wait to play as him.

Hopefully when the game gets voice actors, his voice will be Kevin Michael Richardson, who in my opinion had the best 80s Shredder voice after James Avery.

“The metal-clad menace of Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael isn't the only new thing in the latest All-Star Brawl update.”

[LeotheLateBloomer]

This dropped out of nowhere...:o

Sadly like I said, I'm more interested in IPs that originated with Nick rather than ones they bought. Rocko, Fairlyodd Parents, Jimmy Neutron, or XJ9 are when I'll start to get interested. I'm more hyped to play on the Double Dare stage than Shredder. When they said look forward to more showcases does that mean there will be more updates?

“The metal-clad menace of Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael isn't the only new thing in the latest All-Star Brawl update.”

Yeah, that seems like an oversight on the writer's part.

I want to like this, but this game just feels so bare and lifeless when I've watched gameplay. Yeah, the voice acting is part of it ... but even the presentation of the menu, gameplay announcer, and some of the animations just feel half-baked.

Maybe if this drops to like $9.99 in an eventual sale, I'll pick it up ... but I would also hope too that they include Raphael and Donatello. Can't see that happening.

Oh well, nothing can touch Injustice 2 as far as TMNT in a fighting game ... maybe they'll come back for Injustice 3? :tlol:

[shredder orokusaki]

And now.... Tell me which ones of you have it on pc so i can beat you all1!! Very soon i will upload my videos so evryone can seee me beating all of my enemies! They should had add me from the begining! !!

[LeotheLateBloomer]

I feel like it's going to be a bit too late to add in voice acting as it already feels like people have moved on from the game. It's a fun game mechanically but it needs more content. It's way better than all the other Smash clones and has potential. If Garfield and Shredder is it for the roster, it's a waste. Also the fact that they couldn't get Townsend Coleman to voice Mike in that Nickelodeon Tennis game makes me think why bother?

How well did this game sell? I remember reading it was the number tenth game on the Nintendo eShop when it first released. Maybe if they move on to doing a sequel like the Kart Racer games, they could expand on the roster, have more stages, and voice acting, it'll gain a lot more traction. As it stands while it has more ground than other attempts at the Smash formula it still suffers from 'still not enough'.

I did hear that there was an issue with the Fairlyodd Parents regarding rights though I could be wrong.

[oldmanwinters]

FYI, the PC/Steam version of Nick All-Star Brawl is being offered in this month's Humble Choice subscription package.

A sequel featuring Squidward is happening. Oh, and Raph and Don are here too...

What has me most excited about this is just the new modes and unlockables. If you were limited to single-player, all you could really do in the first game was go through the repetitive Arcade Mode with every character, so I'm really glad that they're addressing that particular issue. New campaign looks great.

Still no Timmy, Cosmo, or Wanda? This is the third Nickelodeon game that has no FOP representation.

This may come off as offensive, but I'm like "Who are those people?"

So no Leonardo and Michelangelo this time? They just switched out Turtles? Would be nice to have all four. Seems like a missed opportunity.

Maybe if you own both, the game will recognize that somehow and important them over? :tlol:

The first game was like a beta they made people pay $50 for and now the "full game" is another $50+ passed off as a sequel. LMAO

Did it ever retail for $49.99/$50?

Seems like the physical and digital versions went on a 20 Black Friday sale less than a month after its release date (that's probably always the plan with GameMill stuff).

Is the game that bad? It's literally under $10 on steam right now with the DLC included and i was thinking of getting it to sit and gather dust on my steam library.



It's perfectly fine as a funny Smash-Bros knock-off. I've enjoyed it. Competitive players really hand me my pride on a platter in online play.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

Leo, Mike, Shredder, Toph, CatDog, Hugh Neutron, Oblina, and Powdered Toastman are missing from the current roster. I can only assume they'll be revealed later otherwise, that's not a good look for the game.

Having Raph as the quickest character in the roster and also the lightest feels kinda wrong (lighter than a Sponge?) even if he's a nimble ninja but I suppose if I look at him as similar to Roy in Smash Bros where aggressive and quick attacking is the optimum strategy then he might end up as my main unless his attacks are too weak.

I'm not surprised Raph uses the Power Drill but I'm a little surprised they actually call it the Power Drill in the game. That's a fun homage to Tournament Fighters and The Manhattan Project.

I never watched this show but happy for those who wanted him.

This game looks so much better than the first one by leaps and bounds... but if Leo, Mikey, and Shredder don't return, I won't even bother. So I'm still holding out for those 3 to be revealed.

Gotta say, I love the Rocker Turtles costumes, April's Mirage jumpsuit colors, and Donatello's Playmates colors (wasn't able to tell if Raph has a Playmates palette, too, or not, since the default style guide colors he's using are already pretty close to his Playmates colors).

The art direction and graphics of that game look awesome....

While the final base roster has been revealed with 11 characters cut from the first game (including Leo, Mikey, and Shredder), the game's first four DLC characters have apparently been leaked (https://twitter.com/AusilMV/status/1714699108043079994), revealing another TMNT face joining the lineup: Rocksteady.

Edit: His model and alts got datamined! (https://twitter.com/AusilMV/status/1717349774368628966) He has skins based on a couple of his OG Playmates figures, as well as Super Rocksteady!

Rocksteady's coming to All-Star Brawl 2 tomorrow! As expected, Cam Clarke will be reprising him. (He even does the "OOH! OOH!" thing he always did in the old show.) Here's a breakdown of his moves:

It sounds like they had him for just one day of recording, haha. That said, I love the different costumes he has ... that Playmates costume is great.
