Get ready to rumble in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl!

Announced a few weeks ago on July 13, 2021, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is an upcoming game that stars various Nicktoons fighting against one another, such as SpongeBob SquarePants from the series that has the same name, Lincoln Loud from The Loud House, Reptar from Rugrats, and Zim from Invader Zim!

From what was shown in the trailer, game play is pretty similar to the Super Smash Bros. series. You pick a character and try to KO your opponent by trying to fling them offstage. The higher their damage is, the farther they'll fly away.

The developers behind the game are Ludocity, who are well-known for making the Smash Bros.-like game, Slap City, so this game should be in some good hands.

Confirmed playable characters so far are as follows

From SpongeBob SquarePants: SpongeBob SquarePants, Patrick Star, and Sandy Cheeks.

From Rugrats: Reptar

From The Ren & Stimpy Show: Powdered Toast Man

From Aaahh!!! Real Monsters: Oblina

From Hey Arnold!: Helga Pataki

From The Wild Thornberrys: Nigel Thornberry

From Invader ZiM: Zim (with GIR and Minimoose assisting him)

From Danny Phantom: Danny Fenton

From Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Leonardo and Michelangelo

From The Loud House: Lincoln Loud and Lucy Loud

More characters will be revealed later. From a leaked boxart, it seems that Ren & Stimpy from The Ren & Stimpy Show, Catdog from Catdog, Aang from Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Korra from The Legend of Korra will also join the battle.

One notable character that people are hoping for is Hugh Neutron from The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, due to him gaining internet fame throughout the years. His voice actor, Mark DeCarlo, is also in support of Hugh getting into the game. as revealed in a tweet. (In fact, Hugh Neutron was even trending on Twitter following the game's announcement.)

Though speaking of voice actors, Richard Horvitz, voice of Invader Zim, has revealed that no one from Ludocity has approached him - or any of the other voice actors for that matter - for recording. This suggests that the game won't have voice acting, similar to previous entries Nicktoons Kart Racing and Nicktoons Kart Racing 2: Grand Prix. There's a possibility this could be added in later, but one shouldn't hold their breath.

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl will be released sometime in Fall 2021, and will be available for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, XBox Series X/S, and XBox One. You can pre-order the game here.

Any character you're hoping will make it in? Write your thoughts down in the comments below! Personally, this writer is hoping that Dib Membrane from Invader Zim, Otis from Back at the Barnyard, and Snap from Chalkzone will make it in; as well Raphael, Donatello, and Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Perhaps even Garfield, Optimus Prime, and Megatron, since their series - Garfield for the former and Transformers for the latter two - are getting new shows on Nickelodeon.
