Jay and Silent Bob: Mall Brawl Review: Punching Anything That Moves

While Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl ‘s release trailer gave fans a quick peek at the game, it also confirmed a handful of characters — 14 in total — that will feature. While the initial roster is fairly star-studded, there are a few contenders that are conspicuously missing. Even though fans should expect that the SpongeBob SquarePants franchise will likely have the most characters in the game, the inclusion of Sandy Cheeks, Patrick Star, and SpongeBob points to a willingness to include multiple characters from one franchise. As such, even though we currently only have Helga confirmed from the Hey Arnold! series, it’s likely that fans can expect Arnold himself. Regardless, there are a few more characters who stand out as obvious choices for Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl ‘s ros

The trailer shows off what looks to be a fun fighting experience for Nickelodeon fans of all ages, as well as those looking for something a little different from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate . The Nintendo fighter’s community is one that continues to thrive, enjoying Super Smash Bros. Ultimate ‘s strong character roster and honed fighting game mechanics. Whether or not Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl will be able to compete with the Nintendo classic remains to be seen, but with the game launching later this year, players won’t have long to w

While there are a few references to both the Kevin Smith filmography and past beat ’em ups, Mall Brawl doesn’t fill every square inch of each stage with nostalgic callbacks. This is for the best, as the times when it does something special stand out that much more. A shopping cart ride reminiscent of the Battletoads Turbo Tunnel and several specific bosses keep things interesting without overstaying their welcome, and the game’s ending is perfect considering the source mater

Danny Phantom is already confirmed for Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl , which makes Timmy Turner from Fairly OddParents — a sister show to Danny Phantom — an obvious choice to include in the roster. Not only is Timmy Turner the protagonist of a super popular Nickelodeon show, but he also has limitless potential for a fighting game kit. For those unfamiliar, Timmy Turner has two «fairy godparents,» Cosmo and Wanda, who grant his every wish. In the show, it’s more often than not that the wishes go sideways and result in disastrous consequences. For this reason alone, Timmy Turner is a must-have for Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl . He has the potential to have dozens of different forms, summons, and wild abilities, and developers could even imbue abilities with a degree of chance similar to Mr. Game & Watch’s «Judge» abil

Nickelodeon has just announced a new Super Smash Bros. style game, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl , which will feature a deep roster of characters from a whole array of classic and current Nickelodeon shows. For all intents and purposes, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl looks as though it will play just like Super Smash Bros . with each Nickelodeon character boasting their own unique arsenal of attacks and special moves while trying to bump opponents off-st

While Mall Brawl originally debuted on Switch and PC last year, this year’s new Arcade Edition on consoles adds in better graphics and a remastered soundtrack . As the name implies, that does boost the game past the capabilities of 8-bit consoles, but not far enough to feel inauthentically retro. There is a toggle in the settings to switch between both versions, and the differences in all cases are noticeable but minimal. Jay and his silent partner are still stubby pixel heroes beating up skater kids, cow mascots, and a string of unique bosses throughout arcades and lingerie sh

As it stands, there’s still a lot that we don’t know about Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl . The game will reportedly have 20 stages, yet only a couple of them have actually been named by the developers. It’s set to launch this fall, but the specific release date has yet to be announced. And it’s also unclear if it will have crossplay or any other modern online multiplayer conveniences. One thing fans do know, though, is that Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl has rollback netcode , which should give it a leg-up on other fighting games when it comes to its online p

While many familiar Nick faces have been confirmed for the roster, the trailer hints there are still more that have not yet been announced. Publisher GameMill Entertainment, which also published Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2 , hasn’t stated who these other characters will be, but popular Nickelodeon franchises like Fairly Odd Parents were not featured in the trailer, so fans can likely expect Timmy Turner and other characters to join. Confirmed characters so far include fan favorites like Sandy Cheeks, Nigel Thornberry, Powdered Toast Man, and Brawlstarsfans.com Rep

Along with the other characters confirmed for the Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl roster , it seems fans can add Aang from Avatar: The Last Airbender , Korra from The Legend of Korra , Ren and Stimpy, and finally, Catdog to the list. None of these characters have been confirmed for Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl in an official capacity, but they all seem like obvious additions to the game, especially Aang and Ko
