It's clear that if this is real and it's for a sequel then expect another rushed, low budget game like the first one. At least now they'll have a template to work off of.

I would be surprised if this came out nearly as rough as launch NASB

Also when this game gets officially announced should we stick to this one or should I be ready to make a new one later this year?

Pretty much. It's looking like NASB's gonna become a biannual series just like Kart Racers is.

6) DO NOT CUT ANY CHARACTERS. Any hype for Kart Racers 3 was gone the moment people realized Tommy and Angelica were cut for seemingly no reason

This is the one I'm the most worried about. Especially if what they say about the sequel needing to be on a new engine is true and they can't just port the original characters over to tweak them, so they decide to just arbitrarily drop characters to make time for new ones.

I would hope whatever new content it has/launching with items and voices on day 1 can make up for it, but on the other hand items and voices didn't help NASB as much as they should've.

Keep this one.

The damage was probably already done at that point. I'd hope these things would get people's attention if given the benefit of a fresh start with a sequel.

 

[Geoffrey Druyts]

So uhh, NASB 2 leak huh?

I'm gonna take it with a grain of salt, but I also hope it's real.

I'd really love to have Squidward playable, he's currently my most wanted character at the moment, and I also love the idea of "Super Attacks" being added in.

With that being said, I sure hope they take enough time to develop this game and I really hope they don't get rushed by Nickelodeon.

I'm concerned about that, but at least Danny and Patrick mains can be reassured that their mains are not going anywhere if these leaks are true and they are for a sequel.

Wait WHAT?!?

Imma be cancelling my order online then

 

[DrifloonEmpire]

The only franchises that really benefitted from Kart Racers 3 were Spongebob, Avatar, and the newly-added franchises. Everyone else got kinda neutered in some ways. Danny's still by himself, TMNT/Rocko/Rugrats got characters cut, they butchered The Loud House's tracks for the most part, Jojo Siwa is still here, we got Sponge spinoff characters nobody asked for (just Squidina would've been fine), Rocko lost a track, the TMNT tracks are just racetrack versions of their NASB stages (granted they're better than the TMNT 2012 tracks, but still), the list goes on. The game really took a step forward and a step back.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

The thing that kinda catches me off about the grid isn't that it's different, but rather that there's only a grid on the floor, which from my knowledge of how grids are used in fighting games (measuring hitbox length if I'm correct), kinda defeats the point.

The thing that gets me is the background. it looks very similar if not identical to the one used in the moveset charts they released for every character. For all we know, they're using that to test things other than hitbox length, like graphical shaders or something.

correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't all those screenshots taken on Irken?

Darn, I guess they were. I forgot they weren't just on a generic purple background. My bad.

Frankly I can see this going any of three ways.

1. We're getting more DLC for the original game.
2. We're getting a sequel; it's still very early in development.
3. It's fake.

I'm not gonna place my bet on any of them, but I'd be down for either 1 or 2.

 

[CapitaineCrash]

Personally I really doubt that if a sequel happen there would be cut characters. I mean, most characters from the first game are just way too important for Nickelodeon to be cut. Imo characters like Sandy and Lucy Loud are just too popular to be cut even if they're secondary characters, and I doubt they'll remove franchise entirely so I guess that even less popular characters like Oblina would be safe. The only characters that I could maybe see being cut would be Toph, maybe in favor of Zuko who is more popular overall. Arguably Reptar could maybe be cut if they finally add a Rugrats baby? Aside from that (and even those two I feel like it's a stretch) I think everyone is very safe to come back.

 

[Guynamednelson]

Reptar's been playable alongside babies for a while now, even in another Nicktoons fighter.

 

[LimeTH]

Reptar is definitely safe. KR3 cut Tommy and Angelica, but added another Reptar.

When Kart Racers 3 cut freaking Tommy and Angelica no one's safe from the axe, well except for the SBSP cast and the turtles, as well as Danny if the photos really are from a sequel.

I really hope Lincoln doesn't get cut....
Thankfully, I don't expect any character cutting, since Ludocity is making the decisions rather than whoever develops the Kart Racing games, and Rep and co's better understanding of their audience won't lead them to making these bizarre decisions. The roster's not even that huge to begin with, no point in cutting anyone, especially since these characters already have loads of reusable assets.

The two games don't share the same development team. This is a complete non-factor.

I'm not expecting cuts either, but they might end up happening if they do decide to switch engines over to Unreal.

Okay that makes literally no sense at all. They keep Chuckie, but replace Tommy and Angelica with....a player two Reptar?


Send me back in time for this bull****

Bro

Just stop at this point

You're comparing apples to oranges here with two separate development teams. One team is great and know their audience. The other? Ass

They also added Susie for some reason, so they went from Tommy, Angelica, Chuckie, and Reptar, down to Chuckie, Susie, and two Reptars. I personally would've rather them done like the twins or Kimmie, or honestly Stu or Spike, than Susie, imo the most forgettable character from that show

I can definitely see cuts happening if they end up switching engines, which is something that the devs have expressed interest in doing. I don't how difficult it is to translate assets from Unity to Unreal, so they might be forced to remove characters due to potential difficulty in moving assets between engines, time constraints, and wanting to focus on new characters.

Found this on the NASBCord

(The "movie clothes" discussion was an unrelated discussion about Jimmy)

So if this is real, we officially now know that this for a sequel and not for more DLC for the first game. Looks like we're in for another rushed cashgrab that will quickly die. I'm wondering why they're even making a sequel to begin with, knowing that it will likely suffer the same fate as the first one.

Look, I'm fine with opinions, but like, why do you immediately jump to saying this game will die at almost every given opportunity? It's kind of depressing.

Besides, I really wouldn't call the first game a cashgrab. The devs clearly had a lot of hopes and care with what they were doing under the limits they were given, and I feel like a sequel will be the same way, although hopefully with fewer restrictions all over it.

I'd just be hopeful that, even if it isn't popular, we get another game that's just as enjoyable and well-designed (in its own ways) as the first.

Come on man, don't immediately write it off when literally all we know about it is a bunch of blurry development screenshots.

 

[PK-remling Fire]

While I'm not going to immediately lose hope that it can do better, a lot of the issue stemming from this game were outside of Ludosity's control, and the ball is very much in Viacom's court in terms of improvements. This game sold incredibly well relative to Nick's other games so I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to release another game so soon. I'm just unsure if Viacom will be willing to put extra resources into making this game fundamentally better than it's prequel.

I mean even ignoring that Danny has had a perfect playable attendance record barring the first Nickelodeon Kart Racers by GameMill, being the only character besides SpongeBob to do so since his creation, it’d be more surprising if he wasn’t playable

Honestly, I wish they'd just give his series a second playable character, aside from the obscure Nick Pixel Town he's gone completely solo in Nick crossovers for the past 13 years.

It's reasonable to be skeptical or have concerns, but going full doomer mode this early seems kinda goofy. We don't know how this game is going to turn out and it'd be wise to wait until we at least have footage to start making judgements.

My choice for a 2nd rep would be Vlad as a fighter.

Nicktoons: Attack of the Toybots had Sam as a playable character and Dark Danny as a skin for Danny, so there's at least one other instance.

 

[Quick Gaming (QG)]

Until we get more info this will be my prediction for NASB 2 (if it's happening)

Spoiler: Prediction

Just because I think Ludosity should go safer with the roster doesn't mean I expect them to lol

I can't imagine they had a ton of time for newcomers so my prediction is that Squidward and Sokka are both popular and have assets that can be pulled from NASB 1 via the items (they're already known for pulling entire moves/animations from Slap City even for things as simple as Spongebob's get up attack)

Crimson Chin also has a similar-ish frame to PTM and was a very popular request so I see no reason why they wouldn't include him, and of course Timmy would also join the fray finally

Aside from that Jimmy is a no brainer inclusion. I wanted to keep the newcomer count small but if I could add 1 more character I would include El Tigre

Nicktoons: Attack of the Toybots had Sam as a playable character and Dark Danny as a skin for Danny, so there's at least one other instance.

She was also one of the 6 playable characters in Volcano Island

Ironically these roster choices are pretty safe outside of Sokka instead of Zuko.

And while I doubt they'd have resources for more than 10 newcomers, given development is most likely going to be split among things like character reanimations and more casual content rather than just newcomers, NASB1 being able to have 20 fighters with one year of development tells me 2 would at least have more than 5.

I think it's because I was going off of the pace they released newcomers in the DLC era

 

[Deleted member]

Zuko has a new model for NKR3 that even has swords. I'd be shocked if he wasn't in a NASB sequal
