Nickelodeon All-Stars Brawl General Thread - All Star Brawl 2 Available Today!

[LimeTH]

I think that's a joke about how we were genuinely entertaining the possibility of someone hacking the Australian government to put up a fake new listing for NASB last month.
At this point, it's probably happening and I don't know how to feel about it.

I don't think we have to worry about it coming to the west, since it's specifically a Japanese release of the game.

Maybe worry a little about if we're getting anything after Rocko.

If it's Japan only, then why rate it in Australia?

 

[dlewis53]

Personally speaking, considering the Japanese characters under the title and the fact that it's only coming to the Switch and PS4 right now, until someone somewhere officially says otherwise, I'm gonna assume that this is going to be exclusive to Japan.

Do we really need "hopium" for more DLC when a sequel is virtually inevitable in a year or two?

I sure hope we don’t see another sequel in a year, I’d prefer they get more time than this game

The said there's more surprises in store so I highly doubt that this is the end.

I think they’re planning on jumping out of cupboards

 

[RileyXY1]

They could be talking about NASB2 itself.

 

[Guynamednelson]

Artwork is still rather disappointing, but I do like how the characters are lit by the gold background.

The Japanese text at the top says "Ultimate Edition" in case you're wondering.

 

[RileyXY1]

Usually, these "Ultimate Editions" mean the end of active development. So, it's not looking good for more DLC.

I'd still rather have this game continue to be polished, built up, and added to rather than having to start from almost scratch with a potentially rushed sequel a year down the line.

 

[Flyboy]

Usually, these "Ultimate Editions" mean the end of active development. So, it's not looking good for more DLC.

Power Rangers Battle For The Grid, Street Fighter V, and others all had DLC even after major rereleased editions. It's not a hard rule.

 

[Fields - Ultimate's Great]

NASB Rerelease will flop especially if it's anything above $20. To ask people to pay for the same game again after making them pay for an unfinished product isn't good.

 

[LimeTH]

I still say this is only for markets outside the west where the game isn't out already. It's literally being done by a Japanese publisher.

"Ultimate Edition" might either just be a fancy subtitle, or they're selling two versions of the game where the one with all the DLC is more expensive.

 

[dlewis53]

...Yeah, what I said before still stands: until I see actual evidence that this is releasing in the US, I'm gonna assume it's just a Japanese release.

...Also, is that company that's next to the Gamemill Logo a publisher or a developer? Because if it's the latter, then why would a different developer be working on an Ultimate Edition that was releasing worldwide?

 

[Ze Diglett]

Frankly, I'm just surprised this game's even getting a Japanese release at all. I mean, do they even KNOW half the shows in this game over there?

 

[Torgo the Bear]

Frankly, I'm just surprised this game's even getting a Japanese release at all. I mean, do they even KNOW half the shows in this game over there?

Yeah, but it is a fighting game. I wouldn’t be too surprised if this is partially for allowing people of other countries easier access to participating in tournaments and such.

It was rated in Australia so it’s coming worldwide.

I do recall Jenny being somewhat well known due to Japan's fascination with mecha

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Does anyone have a source for this "Jenny is popular in Japan" thing? All the Japanese Jenny fanart I tend to get shown tends to have the same art style so I feel all that stuff is from the same 1 or 2 people.

 

[DrifloonEmpire]

Australia DOES get a decent amount of Japanese products due to its location.

Also I have seen a decent amount of Japanese artists who love Western cartoons, there's a surprising amount of Japanese Loud House and TMNT art.

 

[RileyXY1]

Yeah, but it is a fighting game. I wouldn’t be too surprised if this is partially for allowing people of other countries easier access to participating in tournaments and such.

Even in Japan where the Nickelodeon brand itself is very obscure and most people haven't heard of any Nicktoons other than Spongebob and TMNT.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Honestly I'm surprised they didn't edit Garfield into the Ultimate Edition cover, you'd think Garfield would be something you'd REALLY want to promote, especially given a lot of people don't know that Garfield is a Nicktoon now

i think you'll find it's the nick toons who are now garfield characters

 

[ivanlerma]

This might be similar to Sonic in Smash Bros Brawl were he doesn't appear on the front cover but he might show up in the back, though mostly due to him being a guest.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Do you know how international game distribution and age ratings work? They wouldn't need to make an Australian rating if it was just a Japanese version getting imported to specialty retailers.

Especially considering that Australia has a separate rating system from Japan.

Garfield isn't really a guest fighter when Nick wants to associate him with their channel anyway. Might as well put the '87 TMNT on the back since they were never aired on the channel.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

If you don't consider Garfield and the Turtles Nickelodeon characters because they weren't made by Nick, neither were the other Nicktoons - the whole point of Nicktoons as a brand when the first 3 shows came out was that they're creator driven and not manufactured by execs to sell toys. I don't really want to call either Garf or the TMNT "creator driven" given they were both also heavily modified from the original concept to sell merch (in fact I have a feeling the Turtles are directly responsible the term "Nicktoon" not being used much anymore, so I am hesitant to call acquired IPs "Nicktoons" - but not opposed), but at the very least "made by Nickelodeon" would - to me - imply businessmen in a boardroom, which is certainly not who made these shows.

In terms of airing on Nick, Nick isn't really just a TV channel any more, like with most legacy channels in the streaming age. Nobody would argue on Glitch Techs and Pinky Malinky's Nicktoon statuses, right?

 

[Guynamednelson]

Rocko's alt has possibly been leaked:

Spoiler

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

"I don't need two balls to win this one!"

Not an alt I expected but certainly welcome. At least it isn't pilot yellow lmao

 

[RileyXY1]

Looks like work on Rocko has progressed nicely if we now know what his alt is.

 

[Quick Gaming (QG)]

Rocko's alt has possibly been leaked:

where'd ya find this at anyways?

 

[dlewis53]

Despite the fact that we probably weren't meant to know it at this point.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Didn't they say Hugh was near if not finished by the time Jenny was revealed? I wouldn't be surprised if Rocko was completed a lot earlier than he's planned to release too.

 

[Guynamednelson]

Discord server, spoiler channel

 

[DrifloonEmpire]

Fair point, was just throwing ideas out there.

Also, what's pilot yellow?

 

[Guynamednelson]

Also, what's pilot yellow?

He's referring to Rocko's pilot episode where he had yellow fur.

 

[RileyXY1]

I'm expecting Rocko to drop in October. It would be even cooler if he dropped on the one year anniversary of the game's launch.

Yeah, I'd say October sounds about right. MAYBE early November at the absolute latest.
