The game has a tough road ahead of it to break away from the “Smash Bros. clone” label. With moves, stages, and controls that have already been reported to feel similar, it’s a tall order for the game. It’s the hope of developer Fair Play Labs and the Nickelodeon brand that they can get enough of theSmash Bros. community on its sideto keep the game going and introduce DLC characters.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawlhas promise but it will take time to see if there will be a good enough impression left after the initial hype dies down. If what remains of that first group of fans is enough to make the game sustainable, they canproceed with other classic Nickelodeon characters. There’s already speculation of who would be good add-on characters to bring in later on top of the two characters that were announced to come post-launch.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawlis now available on Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
