For years, the go-to fighting video game was Super Smash Bros. , and this shouldn't come as a surprise because older Nintendo consoles and titles have been shaping entire generations of players up to this day and age. With the release of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and smaller games like Brawlhalla , it seems like the genre has still plenty of room for new releases. Such is the case for the new title coming from Ludosity and Fair Play Labs, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl , a fighting game that was immediately compared to Super Smash Bros. for its style and the way it handles characters coming from different sh

Every detail from the trailer indicates Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is meant to be ** Super Smash Bros. with Nicktoons. The final Super Smash Bros. ** fighter might disappoint some fans, but two Ninja Turtles is a good compromise. This isn't the first time developer GameMill has remade a Nintendo party game with Nickelodeon characters, either, as Nickelodeon Kart Racers is also an obvious nod to Mario Kart . Be that as it may, in the immortal words of Nigel Thornberry, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl looks " smashin

The trailer shows off what looks to be a fun fighting experience for Nickelodeon fans of all ages, as well as those looking for something a little different from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate . The Nintendo fighter's community is one that continues to thrive, enjoying Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 's strong character roster and honed fighting game mechanics. Whether or not Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl will be able to compete with the Nintendo classic remains to be seen, but with the game launching later this year, players won't have long to w

While many familiar Nick faces have been confirmed for the roster, the trailer hints there are still more that have not yet been announced. Publisher GameMill Entertainment, which also published Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2 , hasn't stated who these other characters will be, but popular Nickelodeon franchises like Fairly Odd Parents were not featured in the trailer, so fans can likely expect Timmy Turner and other characters to join. Confirmed characters so far include fan favorites like Sandy Cheeks, Nigel Thornberry, Powdered Toast Man, and Rep

While Brawl Chess is more streamlined than a standard game of chess, and therefore more user friendly, it is a little frustrating to not be able to perform some more advanced strategic chess moves in-game. For example, if the player manages to get one of their pawns to the other side of the board it is automatically promoted to a Queen. While a player would most likely make this choice anyway, there are situations where it is more advantageous to promote to a Knight instead. This is a minor issue, but more experienced chess players will definitely notice the lack of more advanced featu

Even the fighters themselves have several Smash Bros. parallels. Each character seems like they will have a unique move set, and if Reptar's presence is any indication, weight will likely factor into their play styles. Additionally, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl has wisely chosen to favor its long history instead of leaning on more recent characters. Powdered Toast Man (from Ren & Stimpy _ ) may seem as obscure as Mr. Game & Watch to many, but his presence shows an interest in Nickelodeon's larger legacy. In fact, the large number of nostalgic characters (and Nigel Thornberry, himself often the subject of millennial memes) makes one wonder if _Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 's target audience is millenni

In the Avatar universe, each style of bending was modeled after different martial arts. Waterbending follows the smooth motions of Tai Chi, earthbending the rooted movements of Hung Gar, firebending using Northern Shaolin and airbending the light Bagua. As the avatar, Aang and Korra are able to seamlessly shift between all four fighting styles, making them an enticing add to _Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl stars beginner guide|https://brawlstarsfans.Com/ _ if such a thing were to hap

If players do find themselves growing bored of the AI they can always find a friend or family member to play with in local multiplayer. On the Switch this is as easy as docking the system and each player grabbing a Joy-Con. Switching between single-player and multiplayer is simple, but the biggest downside is that there are only a couple of different characters to choose from. There are several more characters that the player does have access to, but they are locked behind microtransacti
