Nick All-Stars adds Rocko, Hugh Neutron, and Jenny

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is getting some new characters, and they include Jenny from My Life as a Teenage Robot, Hugh Neutron from Jimmy Neutron, and Rocko from Rocko’s Modern Life.

These characters will be paid DLC, with Jenny being available now. The new trailer shows Jenny facing off against other characters in the game like Reptar, Nigel Thornberry, Garfield, and Danny Phantom.

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl - Official Jenny, Hugh Neutron & Rocko Reveal Trailer

At the end of the trailer, Hugh Neutron is introduced while riding on his motorcycle. Players will be able to send opponents to the Shadow Realm with Hugh when he arrives in the game this summer. Rocko was briefly shown and he is scheduled to join the game in the fall.

Each character will come with unique stages and costumes. In the trailer, it looks like Jenny’s stage will be based on her hometown, Tremorton. Interestingly, Hugh, Jimmy Neutron’s father, was added to the game instead of the titular character. The show’s setting, Retroville, seems to be the most likely candidate for a stage. As for Rocko, he lives in the fictional O-Town.

In Digital Trends’ Nickelodean All-Star Brawl review, we said, “Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is a wildly fun time if you’re coming to it for its competitive potential. However, your mileage may vary depending on if you’re a casual or hardcore player.”

This breezy 3D platformer wears its simplicity as a badge of honor
Koa runs on an island in Koa and the Five Pirates of Mara.

My adoration for exploring and collecting in games is well-known to anyone who has ever heard me wax poetic about Soulslikes. Surprisingly, though, it's rarely the punishing bosses or deep role-playing systems that suck me in the most -- it's the "Aha!" moments of finding a well-hidden item on a ledge most folks would never notice or stumbling upon an illusory wall that leads me somewhere wholly new. But this love of thoroughly examining levels and finding their secrets was first sparked in me with the significantly brighter and cheerier platformer genre almost three decades ago. There's really nothing that makes me happier than becoming entranced in a happy, colorful adventure that lets me sink back into that childlike wonder I experienced all those years ago.

That's why I'm always thrilled to find indie games like Chibig's Koa and the Five Pirates of Mara that genuinely capture the playfulness of the titles I grew up with. Similar to other lovely platformers like New Super Lucky's Tale or A Hat in Time, it may lack some of the AAA flourishes of the genre-defining Super Mario Odyssey, but it makes its case by flawlessly nailing the fundamentals: a memorable and lovable mascot, diverse level design, tight controls, and a cohesive artistic vision. That attention to such core principles keeps it from suffering the same fate as the dozens of low-budget releases each year that often suffocate beneath the weight of their own ambition.

Look out Super Smash Bros. Melee. Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is getting a sequel
Patrick Star stands confused on a spoon in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2.

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, the Super Smash Bros.-like fighting game from 2021 that starred characters from notable Nickelodeon shows, is getting a direct sequel later this year. Eat your heart out, Super Smash Bros. Melee.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 - Exclusive Announcement Trailer
An article on IGN, which revealed Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 for GameMill Entertainment, highlights some more new details about this game. Obviously, there's a visual overhaul to the characters and stages, but there are some notable gameplay additions as well. Players will have access to powerful new Super attacks, and there will be lots of new fighters to try out. The two new ones revealed in this trailer are Squidward from SpongeBob SquarePants and Jimmy Neutron from The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius.
All of the game's characters will have voice acting at launch too, which wasn't the case with the first game. Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 will feature multiple new game modes, including a single-player campaign where Nickelodeon characters unite to stop Vlad Plasmius from Danny Phantom. On top of all that, there will be full cross-play across all platforms at launch. 

While it's unlikely that this sequel to a fun but janky fighting game will ever come anywhere close to the revered Super Smash Bros. Melee in quality, it's nice to see that Ludosity and Fair Play Labs got an opportunity to refine their crossover fighting game series further.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 launches sometime later this year for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch. It will cost $50 at launch and has a $25 season pass that grants an exclusive SpongeBob SquarePants skin at launch and four new characters over the course of 2024.

We ranked all the best (and worst) video game system startup sounds
The GameCube startup screen appears mid animation.

First impressions are important. That’s true both in people and video game consoles.

The first time you boot up a new gaming system can be a magical moment when done right. There’s always a built-in bit of tension anytime you get a new video game console, as you gingerly unbox it and set it up. That prelude can feel like an orchestra tuning its instruments, building anticipation for the moment where you’ll finally get to power it on and hear the opening notes of a long symphony. And I’m not just speaking in metaphor here; I’m talking about the all-important console startup sound.
