As a fellow 2000's Nicktoons kid, the only really glaring omissions in my view IP-wise are Fairly Oddparents and Jimmy Neutron (even then, I can excuse Timmy's absence given the apparent lack of Frederator content so far). MLAATR's close due to fitting in with the whole action-hero aesthetic it has going on, but that show was never quite as popular as those two were.
I think that one was talked about, and the poster said it didn't mean anything.
Yeah, Mlaatr is more of a deep cut, which is why im not surprised it's not in the base roster.
I've been thinking about the potential for DLC and while I definitely think it is a fantastic idea and should be implemented, I wouldn't be opposed to the developers pulling a Kart Racers 2 and creating a sequel that is objectively better than the original in just about every conceivable way for NASB.
Especially if this game does far above expectations and gives Nick faith in the devs to allot a better budget and more freedom of character choice.
As far as DLC go, I want to see Rocko (if he doesnt make it to base game), the beavers, and some obscure nicktoon representation.
I already expect Shredder to be DLC as it is, so that's the best case scenario for some prospective characters.
The Ant Bully bankrupting DNA could've had an impact too.It's really weird how Jimmy Neutron went from being one of the biggest faces of Nickelodeon, hell even getting his own ride at universal studios, to just barely being mentioned and being omitted from a lot of stuff, including the base roster of this game seemingly.
(this ride was so awesome btw and I'll never forgive Universal Studios for replacing it with a bloody Minions ride)
I do hope he comes as dlc down the line but yeah it is still sad to see the fall from grace regardless.
I choose to blame Planet Sheen for tainting the franchise.
I loved that ride too, but lets face it, every show in that ride besides Spongebob had been over for years by the time the ride got retooled. It was amazing it lasted as long as it did, but it was its time.It's really weird how Jimmy Neutron went from being one of the biggest faces of Nickelodeon, hell even getting his own ride at universal studios, to just barely being mentioned and being omitted from a lot of stuff, including the base roster of this game seemingly.

Yeah, but couldn't it have at least been another Nickelodeon ride like maybe a Spongebob themed one, instead of just removing the last big thing Nickelodeon had in the park for a friggin Minions ride?
A bit off topic but this remind me of the Spongebob 4d ride which was at my local 6flags. The ride is closed today (but I think it's still open at other parks), but as a kid it was one of my favorite.
Despite my love for characters like Duck Hunt and Banjo Kazooie, I must concur. Every character should be capable of fighting back against a zoner. The fact that they decided to use strong moves to "reflect" them was a smart choice. It also keeps projectiles from being meaningless since I imagine there is going to be lag involved into the mix and that they cannot be spammed mindlessly to black them.
The Tony was totally deserved because the Musical is very good, Watch it if you can, it's weirdly topical.You know, the theme park ride discussion makes me think... What kinds of non-TV Nicktoon media would you enjoy seeing easter eggs or indirect references to?
Personally, I would enjoy a reference to the Tony-award-winning SpongeBob Squarepants Broadway musical... though that may just be because I really like the sentence "Tony-award-winning SpongeBob Squarepants Broadway musical." It amuses me.
Great news. Well, we can only hope for the best.
Yeah it’s not exactly from their youth era, but my logic is if Nick had the foresight to add Jenny into a mobile fighting game, I can imagine the devs behind an actual fighting game would’ve considered her enough to pitch her as a suggestion to Nick. The question is would Nick have approved, and…well I guess we’ll find out in due time
I don't know about you, but I have absolutely no idea why they wouldn't approve of Jenny.
Wait, DLC from the first game?
Oh, I am incredibly familiar with the musical, yes! I kind of wish it got more awards, honestly, but the musical theatre industry does seem to have a bit of a bias against youth-targeted things in general... It is a remarkably good show though and the allegories present in it are weirdly well-developed for a SpongeBob musical.The Tony was totally deserved because the Musical is very good, Watch it if you can, it's weirdly topical.
and to answer your question a stage based on the Nickelodeon Universe theme parks would be fun
A Stage based on the Nickelodeon Hotel could also be cool
On the bright side they'll have absolutely no choice but to move on from the 90s the minute that DLC starts, since Nick doesn't have too many 90s Nicktoons left that aren't already in (also, the conspicuous absence of any Rugrats-related characters besides Reptar, although they might use a loophole).
Thanks for giving your take.
(toph, jenny and garfield being my wants)
There are a few important things to keep in mind, though. One is that Renzetti's comment does not rule out co-ownership of the IP, which always seemed like it was the case with the Frederator IPs. The other thing is that the issue with the rights could be more than just ownership alone. For example, the copyright information for NASB explicitly calls out that Danny Phantom's marketing rights belong to Shout Factory. There are lots of rights to consider beyond ownership when it comes to television, and given that Frederator definitely owns at least something of the shows that started on Oh Yeah! Cartoons (TFOP, MLaaTR, ChalkZone), whatever that "something" is is likely what's keeping out the Frederator IPs.
I think that is an unfair comparison. Yes, it is small compared to Ultimate and 4, but those games were the result of years of building relationships with companies and budget increasing. It's not fair to compare them to Nasb. However, i unironically believe this roster is on par if not even better than Smash 64 and Melee's rosters, It is bigger than Smash 64's and covers more bases and doesn't suffer from Melee's clone infested roster (and even as someone who doesn't mind clones, i must admit that the clone choices for Melee were underwhelming at best, sometimes it isn't about having clone characters, but WHO is the clone character in question)
Everyone even remotely involved with Smash-related speculation really ought to stop trying to be a soothsayer, it doesn't work!
Rocko
Unlike Smash, we don't have developers that worked on the same franchise for two games in a row in a relatively short amount of time, so I think we could at least see more than two passes for this if DLC is approved/demanded enough.
Among Kablam, Nick very definitely owns the rights to Henry, June, and Action League Now. H+J basically replaced Stick Stickly after he was retired, and ALN's compilation show was possible due to Nick fully owning the rights to it.
i think they said that nick kart racing 2 was basically gonna be dlc for the first game ,but decided to make a sequel instead probably due it not selling too well to make dlc possible.
Oh yeah for sure it's a decent roster, I just meant compared to what we're used to it's smaller
Speaking of a fighter pass. I wonder what would the size be. My personal guess is 4 characters but depending on the content, it could also be possible for us to get up to 6.Anyone have a link to the the attacks and those they show or 'strong attacks' in the air? (I saw hbox show a quick shot of it)
Oh yeah for sure it's a decent roster, I just meant compared to what we're used to it's smaller
If they had at least 6 dlc character, for 28 characters total, I'd feel very good about the size. Not saying I think this is too small, for the budget they had ans also comparing to slap city, but I just like the idea of 28 characters :D
In before they include Melt Man as the game's joke character.
Since they couldnt secure Alex Mack, they decided to go for the next most viable option.
