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

I figure if it can't be Timmy, the only really wise choices would be a Cosmo and Wanda duo or the Crimson Chin. Anyone else would only make sense if Timmy were there already.

Even if a sequel do exist, I highly doubt it would show up at some game conference like Summer game fest. I've said in the past, GameMill is a very small publisher so getting in those conferences is already really hard, and unfortunately with the first game mixed reception, I don't think Geoff will go out of his way to add a potential sequel into his events.

I still think a sequel could happen, but don't expect a announcement this week. I think they'll just randomly drop a trailer like the first game, and it will most likely be in July assuming the game launch this fall (because June will be stacked with game announcement so they'll wait a bit).

Just a topical meme, but might be worth bringing up. Appears the image is from a cursor scam site, so certainly not "leaked concept art" or whatever

That 4chan leak did have the spongebob characters getting their superhero costumes as alts. Still not real though

 

[Quick Gaming (QG)]

On a lighter note, I think NASB 2’s 2023 release and reveal window is a matter of when at this point, not if

GameMill hasn’t posted anything to their Twitter account since December 2022, basically since a month after their latest game release, we don’t have confirmation what they’re making next, but we did get a potentially real NASB 2 leak a while back

I’m positive it’s happening this year

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

What would your thoughts be on NASB 2 implementing strong and light specials? Not supers, but a fourth attack button.

 

[Guynamednelson]

fourth attack button

No. How would that work with GameCube controllers, by sacrificing the grab button?

I think we'd probably get side input attacks instead.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

I really wouldn't want that. I like being able to use a neutral special out of a dash.

 

[CapitaineCrash]

If we have moveset overhaul I mostly hope that we get more different aerial. A lot of characters aside from Spongebob only had aerial version of ground moves, which was boring and in some cases looked awkward in terms of animation.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

While I still don't get why people were so worked up over a lack of story mode and wouldn't actively support it, I think I'm a little more open to the idea after playing Slap City - the SC story mode isn't exactly the best thing in the world, but it's short; reuses a lot of assets from the regular battle stages; has some neat rewards and entertaining dialogue; and doesn't lean into the world-ending-threat melodrama of certain other crossover story modes.

 

[DrifloonEmpire]

I think people just want more single player content, nobody's really asking for Nicktoons World of Light.

Also, I think, aside from differentiating aerials, the current moveset system is fine. I don't think we need light and strong variants of everything

 

[fogbadge]

the world-ending-threat melodrama of certain other crossover story modes.

certain meaning all in this scenario

 

[LimeTH]

I feel like the most I'd want, out of both this game (and MVS) is something like Melee's Adventure mode. It doesn't need to be complicated or have a huge sprawling narrative, running through sidescrolling crossover locations and then a fight with the corresponding character afterwards like a boss fight would be fitting enough.

That's basically what Slap's story mode is - just with a save feature, dialog, and a few small character-specific layout alterations.

That but traveling through the worlds of Nick shows, that'd be the dream.

Nick wouldn't even let the devs write their own dialogue for Arcade Mode. There's no way a story mode is happening.

They weren't given the budget to do voice acting but after release and initial reception they were. It's not not possible for a sequel, albeit definitely no Subspace tier work

 

[Kriven]

If Punch-Time Explosion could do it, NASB can do it.

Though frankly I just want something akin to the Trophy Gallery, some kind of Stadium / Event Match type content, and an actual boss character for the end of the arcade mode. Maybe some actually good alt. colors, too. I really like playing some of the "Sports" modes they added to versus and would love to see them leaning more into that to build some kind of single-player content that isn't just ripped out of Smash.

 

[Guynamednelson]

Maybe some actually good alt. colors, too.

You'll just have to hope for four costumes per character next time.

Nick wants every alt costume in the game to come from an official source, like an episode of their respective shows or random promotional art/merchandise, and the devs found out about this really late into development, hence the state of costumes.

 

[Kriven]

Booo

I want Blue Garfield from the claw machines at Walmart!

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

I think that regardless of what happens, NASB 2 will have proper alt costumes, or at the very least more than 2 per fighter. There's absolutely enough material for each character so long as they know from the start of development which alts are OK and which aren't - yes, that includes Mr. 6 Episodes. Not to mention that some characters have extra alts they just can't select and only summon for brief moves (Lincoln's up special, Lucy's down tilt, and Garfield's entrance for example)

Checked out SteamSpy out of curiosity, Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2 and 3’s maximum owners is cited as 20,000

Nickelodeon All Star Brawl 2 is at a minimum of 200,000 and maximum of 500,000

So that’s also reassuring on sequel prospects

Nintendo Direct tomorrow, it's pretty unlikely but anyone hoping to hear about NASB 2 there?

 

[Deleted member]

I don't see it. I don't think Nintendo would care about the whole "smash killer" thing, especially since smash currently isn't active, but I just don't see it. If it was gonna be at a gaming event it would have been at summer games fest or the future of gaming thing or something. I think the best bet for a reveal is a random Twitter drop, which will inevitably be leaked a month or so beforehand

 

[RileyXY1]

A Nintendo Direct is just too high profile for a low budget licensed game like NASB, which by some definitions is shovelware. And we typically don't see shovelware titles in Nintendo Directs.

 

[Guynamednelson]

it'd have a chance of appearing if gamemill realized most gamers don't have enough free will to play a game that's not advertised to hell and back

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Do we really need this discussion every time an event pops up? The answer will always be the same until reveal, which will probably be shadowdropped on IGN at most.

That last part is definitely not true. But I agree with WX3's post above

 

[RileyXY1]

I would just be shocked if NASB2 was revealed in tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct.

This was true for the first game because it hadn’t released yet and fell off the face of the planet in the public eye pretty quickly after release, but it had a lot of Steam sales by typical game standards, let alone licensed games.

I just don’t think it’s as impossible as others seem to think

 

[Opossum]

It's literally not shovelware by any widely accepted definition of the term. Please learn what words mean, especially derogatory ones, before slinging them around haphazardly.

 

[Quick Gaming (QG)]

Neat direct

 

[RileyXY1]

Well as expected, NASB2 wasn't revealed. I am expecting a reveal next month anyways (assuming that it will come out this year).

Paramount gains on report Netflix explored acquisition at some point (NASDAQ:PARA)

Paramount Global (PARA) rose 0.5% amid a report that Netflix (NFLX) has looked at purchasing the media company for its movie studio. Netflix (NFLX) also looked at MGM before...

seekingalpha.com

Looks like Nickelodeon might not even exist anymore in the next couple years as there is a possibility that Netflix could buy Paramount, and get Nick along with it.

 

[Deleted member]

I'd need a better source on that. Is on the same level as "Apple will buy Disney" to me. Nick has canceled a couple shows such as the Star Trek show, but that's not a problem exclusive to paramount. The streamer bubble has burst and were feeling the effects

It's not confirmed yet, but it's something that could happen and it would remove one streaming service from the industry. And I don't know what would happen to this game if Nick the channel ceased to exist.

 

[Deleted member]

I also doubt Netflix has the money for that. Aren't they always in debt
