Comparing literally every other media brand to Nintendo is dumb. It's not like there's some kind of strict "IP hierarchy" that must be followed to have a successful brand that both Nintendo and Nick are following. Same mentality that set so many platformer games up for failure in the 90s by having them labeled "company mascots" by the press.

Oh my god, she's even more awesome than I expected her to be - they balanced out the normal grandma stuff and unexpected-badass stuff really well.
And her Super Move even has her summon the haunted train to run people over, despite the fact that she doesn't even appear in that episode.

Definitely feels more Gerald if you ask me
I think it's referencing the episode where Arnold and friends were trapped on the subway, and Gertie snuck in and hotwired it to get it working again.

Did they give Grandma Gertie Captain Falcon’s knee forward aerial? Huh. I wasn’t expecting that.

It also looks like Hillwood Aquarium is Gertie's home stage. I think that the other new Hey Arnold stage (or the return of Traffic Jam) will be revealed in Gerald's reveal trailer.

I wasn't expecting Gertie to be dropped today LOL. She looks hilarious and her moveset is wacky but fun. (Falcon Knee and even that Super is reminiscent to that Blue Falcon Final Smash). I was never truly upset about her inclusion to be honest, and I think the devs did a good job making her work.

So it might've not been a Dev choice after all, incredible.

Stage Theory strikes again. Looks like we're getting a second Hey Arnold stage to go with Gerald, and a new Angry Beaver's stage.

I really gotta know what thought process led to Nick approaching Ludosity/Fair Play Labs and going "yeah this is cool and all but what if you added Arnold's ****ing Grandma"

Because it's such an out there idea that it's insane lmao
I think that Ludosity originally wanted to add Arnold himself but Nick refused in order to stay true to canon, so they suggested adding his grandma instead.

Gertie looks incredibly fun! I'm glad they did her justice.

It's nice to see people being excited for her after they've used her as a scapegoat for possible cuts to the roster.
I have literally always been saying she's genuinely a good pick. It's so dumb for her of all characters to be the cuts scapegoat because like...it's not like she replaced any of the cut characters.

People can be mad about the cuts while also liking that Gertie was added. They're two independent events.
