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. He's constantly seen with either a paintbrush or a clarinet, and both could be fashioned into formidable weapons within Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl . Plus, like the famous fighting game character Goro, he has 6 limbs, which makes Squidward an excellent candidate for some interesting basic attacks and grappling mo

Nickelodeon has just announced a new Super Smash Bros. style game, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl , which will feature a deep roster of characters from a whole array of classic and current Nickelodeon shows. For all intents and purposes, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl looks as though it will play just like Super Smash Bros . with each Nickelodeon character boasting their own unique arsenal of attacks and special moves while trying to bump opponents off-st

Nintendo's formula for the long-running **Super Smash Bros ** . series is well known by now: popular characters from across various franchises come together in an arena setting to battle together, or against each other, or through any number of unique situations and game modes. Part of Smash Bros . success could stem from the core concept at its execution. Bringing together different characters in such a manner appeals to a wider range of fans. This raises the question, then, of why other studios don't take advantage of franchise combo games more frequently. For quite a while, it was beginning to feel as though Nintendo had a monopoly on the formula - fortunately, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl has come around to change t

This is a problem that Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl might end up facing as well, with the pool of available characters being limited both by resources and the fact that all of Nickelodeon characters would be hard to include in the game. Fans should keep their expectations in check because the game has just gotten its trailer, and despite the roster comprising fourteen characters from ten different shows, there is no way to know exactly how many are planned for release and how many will come after that. Regardless, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl remains a very fun game for Super Smash Bros. fans to pick up once it releases this fall, and it packs plenty of action alre

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

It's a rare thing when a cartoon-based video game gets as much buzz as Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl has thus far. While they can often be seen as mediocre tie-ins similar to the comic book film tie-ins from years ago, Nickelodeon has shown a surprising amount of consistency with the quality of its games. Developers Ludosity and Fair Play Lab already look like they've done a great job at recreating some of Nickelodeon's most beloved characters , so now it will just be a matter of sticking the landing with the game's rele

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

Danny Phantom is already confirmed for Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl , which makes Timmy Turner from Fairly OddParents — a sister show to Danny Phantom — an obvious choice to include in the roster. Not only is Timmy Turner the protagonist of a super popular Nickelodeon show, but he also has limitless potential for a fighting game kit. For those unfamiliar, Timmy Turner has two "fairy godparents," Cosmo and Wanda, who grant his every wish. In the show, it's more often than not that the wishes go to Brawlstarsfans sideways and result in disastrous consequences. For this reason alone, Timmy Turner is a must-have for Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl . He has the potential to have dozens of different forms, summons, and wild abilities, and developers could even imbue abilities with a degree of chance similar to Mr. Game & Watch's "Judge" abil
