I think there is one bigger issue atm and that's because of stiff competition in Multiversus, which looks to be the significantly better game and it's for free.

If NASB wants to make a move they gotta do it fast.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Huh? Out already? That was quick.

yep. Released at the same time as the reveal

It's out for the better.

Now Re:Coded? The same deal but it's worth playing imo.

odd that the gameplay was left out…but I guess getting though the game are made easier this way

Speaking as a Days fan:

It's very, very rough by today's standards and is by all means very skippable if you watch the cutscenes online.

well that’s unfortunate

NASB still has an upwards battle of being 100% not casual friendly, though.

Game is pretty unapologetically for comp Melee players and no one else. If you're not in it for the funny schmovement, there ain't much for ya here outside of a shockingly solid roster lineup.

just gotta have a casual setting once they get the money

Mark is a gift:

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Legend

I think my biggest question in regards to all this

Spoiler: Gonna be raining on parades, so don't click if you don't want a dose of realism

Is how much longer can they justify pumping money into this game when it's clearly dead? The game still hasn't broken past 100 players even with the last 2 waves of DLC, and sometimes even goes down to as low as 20 or 30 people online, at least on PC.


This can't be profitable for them, especially since, iirc, the game's still full priced, which is another massive turnoff for potential new customers.

just gotta use more TMNT content

or it doesn't have to do anything since instead of having a pathetic development budget, MVS has a pathetic marketing budget lmao

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Oh they will.

If Spongebob is to Mario, TMNT is to Pokemon whereas Avatar is to Fire Emblem.

 

[Z25]

That, and there's a few other things.

No voice acting being a glaring one. I can understand, since voice acting is expensive, but it's a wacky cartoon fighting game with no wacky cartoon voices.


Also, no items for the casuals. They're in the code, but most are either unused or were repurposed into moves, so they may be basically a dead concept at this point.

But ya


Outside of the general jankiness of the game and its animations, and the price being way, wayyyyyy too high for the amount of content it has, one of my biggest turnoffs is a lack of voice acting.


It's just soo weird seeing characters like Patrick and Spongebob jump around but they're just


Mute


In a way, it's just eerie. This is a bright, colorful cartoon fighting game, but the characters are just dead silent.




It'd be like if you saw something Mario related and instead of Charles Martinet, he was voiced by Chris Pra-----Oh, wait.

They’ve been hinting that both items and voice acting is still coming.

I don’t get why they didn’t just take random samples from episodes of these shows as voice clips. You don’t have to pay actors and it would have worked fairly well in the meantime and be cheaper while they wait for actual voice work to get approved.

Actually the game was never full price, though a bit under. It's sales also go down to 20 bucks which is a much more reasonable price for a game that's quite barren. I feel this announcement will make sure Hugh at the very least raises the player base quite a bit and the added QoL and content that's been confirmed/teased would also help people turn around. Some issues would still be there obviously and it could very well just stay dead on PC, but idk, I'm hoping it goes well for the devs, they put their hearts on to it but wjen the dev team only finds out that 3 DLC characters get announced when everyone else does, there's a problem. Can't wait for that Matt McMuscles video

 

[Guynamednelson]

You don’t have to pay actors

Yes you do, that's why. I also think getting a new VA entirely for Nigel would be cheaper than Tim Curry in any capacity, be it reused clips or new recordings.

 

[TheMightyP]

I mean they don't got much of a choice but to recast considering Tim Curry's condition

Tbf that's not entirely true, some union actors apparantly have their contracts say that this cannot happen without paying them for reusing their work. Plus, it's also a lot more tedious to try and check as many possible episodes to find the voice clips you want to use

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Adding on to this, many cartoons are union, and I'd be surprised if Nick's aren't.* And if they were going to use clips from the show, they'd need the raw audio without sound effects, BGM, etc., and whether or not Nick would hand that raw audio over to a game company that they apparently don't have much respect for is uncertain.

*Pretty good example of this: Perry the Platypus only has one voice line throughout the entire show, and Dee Bradley Baker was paid for every time it was used.

 

[Guynamednelson]

If Nicktoons Racing is anything to go by, they don't. Voice clips in that game have background noises intact.

 

[Shroob]

So apparently The Chainsmokers put out a new album


....and the lead song of it includes voice sampling from....



Granblue Fantasy?



What the hell lol.



Soo ****ing weird hearing characters I know from my Japanese mobile game speak and then white dudes singing about love.

 

[Kirby Dragons]

Admittedly I haven't been playing All-Star Brawl. But I do have fun when I do play it. Even if I think Jimmy should've been added before Hugh, Jenny and Rocko are great and popular choices. I probably won't get Jenny just yet, but I plan to in the near future.

The memes Kirby Dragons.

It's why he and Nigel got in over their own children.

Guess we're getting Mr. Turner and Stu Pickles over Timmy and Tommy.

Nick dad's be damn.

Memes aside, Jimmy represents the show better and would have a cool moveset. I wouldn't have minded Hugh as the second character from the franchise, but first doesn't feel right.

 

[Shroob]

Hugh's 100% a "We're HARD pandering to what the fans want" choice.


I like it, because it shows the devs really, really do listen to the fans.


But from a logistical, unbiased standpoint, is it a good first inclusion to represent Jimmy Neutron?




I mean, no, Hugh's 100% in for the fans and the memes. A good representation for Jimmy Neutron would be, Jimmy. Hugh's effectively 'le funni joek'.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

So Mr. Turner and Stu Pickles when?

 

[Lamperouge]

Same reason as Nigel Thornberry. The memes made them more popular then the protagonists themselves.

Hugh got in for the same reason as Nigel.

They may have unions, but I’m also pretty sure I remember Nick not being easy to have a union in. Pretty sure the all star brawl discord has said it wouldn’t be impossible either, but I also haven’t been in it to often.

I think it would definitely be possible to get voice clips reused and cheaper, but it ultimately comes down to Nick giving support. They absolutely have a strong archive for everything we know.

Example, we know they still have the blues clues and me and my friends pilot in their vault with easy access. Despite them being niche and no need to store them, they still seem to hold a lot of content from the years somewhere.

 

[MooMew64]

Jimmy is cool.

But Hugh has ducks.

He is also Donut Boy, the greatest hero of our time.

The answer is clear.

I forgot who it was, but miku was sampled in some rap songs too, i think

 

[TMNTSSB4]

in a weird way, Nickelodeon is somewhat in the right step towards having better games. From Kart Racers, NASB, and BOBB remake to their upcoming TMNT games, they might a goldmine strike

 

[TheMightyP]

I feel like I'm in a time loop.

It's actually hints to the next character. Time loop? Time Stone? Dormammu? Marvel? X-Men.

Wolverine and the X-Men aired on Nicktoons.

X-Men are next. And Wolverine.

 

[RamOne]

I guess Hugh finally sent Jimbo to the shadow realm...

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Watch we get Eustace Bagge over Courage in Multiversus.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Multiversus doesn't have Eustace? GARBAGE!

From King Garbage, of the Garbage Dynasty!

"Oh Timmy. I'm respecting your placement in the popularity polls, but asserting my authority as your parent by getting in as a playable character first anyway!"

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

Dormammu, I've come to bargain

 

[TheMightyP]

Dormammu, I've come to bargain

If I had a nickel for every Dormammu joke that revolved around this board being in a time loop that had Mike involved that happened today, I'd have two nickles.

Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

That's just another time loop in of itself

"Because I've lost control of my life."

Obviously we're in the Endless Eight.

You realize we have a Rugrats character in already, right?

[Wario Bros.]

When is Bamco going to put Klonoa: Phantasy Reverie Series up for pre-order on the American Switch eShop?

Japan Switch eShop has it.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

You know, I'm lowkey kinda suprised Kingdom Hearts didn't try a racing game. I mean a Disney Kart alone would bring home some moolah so Kingdom Karts would definitely make bank.

Knowing Square they'd add microtransactions and kill it.

And also it's canon for some reason.

Somebody clearly didn't play Birth by sleep.

 

[Pokelego999]

I remember the part of Kirby 64 when Kirby said "It's Kirbing time" then proceeded to Kirb Miracle Matter.

Truly a heart wrenching scene, no wonder this game sold 1 Kirbillion units

 

[Wario Bros.]

With Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards coming soon, let me bless you all with its North America commercial

 

[MooMew64]

Oh yeah by the way

Ship of Harkinian Direct aired (OoT PC port)

60FPS interpolation is here
