While character entrances probably won't dynamically change gameplay, they will at least flesh out each character's respective Nickelodeon universe. Perhaps the trailer is alluding to unlockable or secret animations that can be equipped from a character screen.

Roof Rage is a small indie game on Steam and Switch that is surprisingly fun. Its thirteen different characters are gorgeously rendered in pixel art, and it's smooth animations and good game feel are sure to impress. The game plays in a comparable way to the average platform fighter, but it's systems and the impact of landing hits sets it ap

While he would definitely be smaller than most other combatants if added, he could more than make up for that in speed. Maybe he could tunnel his way around arenas or build doors to escape from once things get too heavy? Swift, elusive fighters are genre mainstays, and Winslow would be a solid example.

Man Ray could play similarly to Captain Falcon in Super Smash Bros. Incredibly fast, lots of combo potential but with very few ranged abilities. Perhaps, too, the developers will be able to bring in other Mermaid Man and Barnacle favorites, like the Dirty Bubble.

It would be nice for Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl to embrace every facet of Nickelodeon history, and ensure that more live-action shows (such as All That, Amanda Show, and Clarissa Explains It All) get some representation as well.

While Power Stone 2 is technically an arena fighter, there's no arguing that it's the arena fighter closest to Super Smash Bros . Power Stone 2 upgrades its player count from two to four, and focuses even more on items and environmental interaction than the first game did. The result is a chaotic brawl across multiple surprisingly dynamic stages that are up there with the best Super Smash Bros. has to offer. This series is harder to come by these days, having only been released on Dreamcast , PSP, and in arcades, but emulation should provide a good way to experience this often-forgotten Capcom clas

A game this successful is bound to attract similar projects, and there have been so many that "platform fighter" is now considered a genre unto itself. A staggering number of Smash clones have been made by both fans and competitors, though dismissing them as mere clones does many a disservice. Those looking for variety in the Smash genre are in for a treat, as the age of the platform fighter is already in full swing. The upcoming Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl Stars News looks quite promising, but there are plenty of other games players can pick up right now to get them ready for when that game dr

Donnie can move around the stage with a recklessness that can go unmatched thanks to his animalistic upbringing. He can jump around or maybe even swing around on vines for some of his attacks, or call on some animals to assist him with some wild attacks

While the brothers' personalities couldn't be more different, having them work together could bring a fun element of chaotic energy to the roster. Since they are beavers, some of their gameplay could involve them attacking with their teeth, or their trusted friend stump can be used in attacks as w

Brawling games are generally played by their community for an extended period of time and a constant amount of secret or hidden goodies to uncover will help with longevity. The trailer seems to hint at that with its deep dive into the sheer amount of content.

Those looking for another high quality platform fighter can look no further than Rivals of Aether . This 2D fighter features animal champions from four elemental factions (along with Ori and Shovel Knight guest characters), and again sports a roster full of diverse characters and playstyles. This title has interesting modes like the randomized challenges in Abyss Mode, the more casual Tetherball minigame, and Abyss Versus, which will let players take their custom builds into battle with frie

Sometimes it's hard to distinguish the difference between an exciting trailer that wants to show off its characters to the actual moment-to-moment gameplay. However, each character that jumps into the screen such as Powdered Toast Man and Sandy Cheeks all arrive with a fancy character entrance. This may be nothing more than a trailer feature but more than likely an opening move when first starting a new match.

Boy Kappa Mikey sure was a trainwreck of the early 2000s, wasn't it? This show, created by Larry Schwarz, would be the most memorable thing Larry was a part of. The idea was that Mikey, an American Actor, would travel to Japan to star in a show, and would meet a bunch of characters along the way that were designed after anime stereotypes to contrast his Western animation stereotype character. It was a mess of a show, yet it still carved out a little space in all of our minds who saw it as kids/teens, and it hasn't left since.

Rivals of Aether even has four new characters and rollback netcode coming in the near future. To make that good news better, those four characters originated as mods on the Rivals of Aether Steam Workshop , which also hosts thousands of user-created characters, stages, and modes. This one is not to be missed, especially now that it has its own sequel in developm
