Many franchises have attempted to beat Super Smash Bros. at its own game, but few have succeeded. Bizarrely enough, Nickelodeon is now taking its shot at the Super Smash Bros. crown with a new fighting game that is essentially Super Smash Bros. gameplay with characters from various Nickelodeon TV shows . Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl has generated quite a bit of buzz for its interesting cast of characters, and while much of the roster remains a mystery, it seems fans have managed to figure out some of the game's yet-to-be-announced charact
As it stands, there's still a lot that we don't know about Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl . The game will reportedly have 20 stages, yet only a couple of them have actually been named by the developers. It's set to launch this fall, but the specific release date has yet to be announced. And it's also unclear if it will have crossplay or any other modern online multiplayer conveniences. One thing fans do know, though, is that Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl has rollback netcode , which should give it a leg-up on other fighting games when it comes to its online p
The trailer for Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl does give a look at a stage that looks ripped right out of The Wild Thornberrys . In screenshots, it's also shown that this level can seemingly turn upside down, giving more credence to the idea that these stages will shift. Another shifting stage might be the two stages directly related to Shredder and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles . The trailer shows brawls happening in sewers and Shredder's Technodrome.

Given Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra are two of Nickelodeon's strongest IPs, transcending generations of fans, it was puzzling that Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl's reveal didn't lead with Aang and Korra on the initial roster.

Of all the current roster omissions, Squidward might be the most glaringly obvious. Even as Patrick Star is getting a spin-off , Squidward might be the most recognizable character in the entire show next to SpongeBob himself, mostly due to his popularity in meme culture. Also, his character seems to have a fairly easy background to twist into a fighting game kit.

The PlayStation 2 saw titles like War of the Monsters and Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee hitting the sweet spot between arcade action and gameplay substance. Since then, every attempt at recapturing the fun of crushing buildings underfoot in arena combat seems to go the same way as what publisher Modus Games is putting out in 2020 - the action is still fun, but there's just not a game to back it up, as it ends up let down by its narrative and other eleme
So far, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl's box art is composed only of fighter silhouettes, not even showing those already announced in the roster. To the left of the shadowed cover art is an image that looks strikingly familiar to Korra. The silhouette holds a flexed arm out with a clenched fist, leading back to the shadow of a head that seems to mirror Korra's early series hairstyle with three distinct ponytails. Just below the silhouette that resembles Korra is the shadow of an outstretched human hand. With the Avatar universe top of mind, it closely resembles the hand and sleeve of Aang. Aang is frequently seen with his hand outstretched, a pose matching the shadow mouse click on brawlstarsfans.com the cover
The last set of stages seen in the trailer come from Invader Zim , Danny Phantom , and The Loud House . Zim 's stage looks to take place in space, while Danny Phantom 's stage takes place in some kind of alternate dimension.
