Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl was announced just a few days ago, but it's already getting a lot of gamers excited with its Super Smash Bros. comparisons and homages to Nickelodeon history. There have been numerous Super Smash Bros. copycats in the past, but this one seems to be the most colorful and thoughtfully crafted. Although it only got a short trailer, Nickelodeon games have shown some polish in recent years, so there is some reason to be optimis

Positioned on the far left side of the box art, it's possible to make out the silhouette of some of the most powerful characters in Nickelodeon history, Avatar Aang and Avatar Korra. Korra's fighting pose and signature hair is the most easily recognizable from the box art, so it's pretty safe to say that she'll be featured in some capacity. Aang is a little more difficult to pin down, but directly below Korra is an outstretched hand with a distinctive sleeve that looks just like Aang's. Putting the pose side by side to other Aang artwork, Brawlstarsfans.Com the silhouette and some of Aang's fight poses look identi

Hopefully there are more characters, stages, and tracks from Avatar included in the final game. As for now, though, I’m just happy that it seems Avatar is being included to at least some extent. This is my favourite series ever made, and, honestly, I’m relieved to finally see it being represented in a modern video game, even if Aang and Korra are getting into fistfights with the dinosaur from Rugrats.

As previously mentioned, whether players choose to quick match or go into the campaign, most of their fights will be online against other players. Override 2 will default into bot matches if necessary, and that might be an inevitability. Even in its first week, Override 2 struggled to fill up anything but a one-on-one matchup, and the fights against AI are nothing to write home about. Many of the arenas are small enough that's it's easy to overwhelm a computer opponent with a series of spam attacks, and that complete lack of complexity combines with the endless dialogue on a static menu to make for a painfully boring endea

At least the gameplay tries its best to make up for the lack of panache in the rest of the package. Override 2 has a healthy roster of characters to choose from, each with a unique fighting style and personality to spare. There's a candy-themed mech that can trap opponents in bubble gum, a walking toaster with flame cannons, and even the stars of Ultraman for players willing to dive into the DLC. It's fun trying out different characters for the first time and choosing a favorite, but it's not fun to try to do that against online opponents, and that's mostly what the game wants players to be doing at all ti

Jenny fits here for all the same reasons as Timmy Turner. She's the main character of her show, her kit basically writes itself, and My Life as a Teenage Robot , while not as popular as other Nickelodeon series, has enough of a following that Jenny would be missed from Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl . Perhaps the most compelling reason listed above is that her kit is a no-brainer, as Jenny could play like a clone of Samus Aran from Metroid since her abilities in the TV show center around energy beams that protrude from her palms and chest. Regardless of how developers would choose to design her kit, there is enough in My Life as a Teenage Robot to make for an enjoyable roster addit

Quite simply, constantly having a timer running means that the game's learning curve can be tough. Players may reach moments in the game where hitting the title's time limits can be quite tricky, and each race ends if the player runs out of time overall. This means that players are sometimes left with the option to either keep honing until they scrape through time-wise, or go back and grind elsewhere for better items or money to spend in the game's sh

The small arenas provide chaotic fun against human opponents, and there's definitely fun to be had with Override 2 with a group of like-minded buddies on a couch. However, the online focus and complete lack of a campaign structure kill any drive to keep unlocking cosmetics and bots in single player, and those are the only two options available. Put as simply as possible, _Override 2: Super Mech League _ feels like a demo for a larger experience that doesn't exist. Even as a value-priced title, there's little reason to dive in for all but the most dedicated fans of mechanized com

Beyond that, Speed Brawl is all wrapped up in a tidy, time trial-esque package, although those racing elements might not shine through as clearly as the beat 'em up sections. Nonetheless, the game's emphasis on beat 'em up combat is a nice return, as though Streets of Rage 4 is on the way, the speedier elements of the nineties brawler haven't had a good outing in a fairly long time bar Guacamel

Looking towards the bottom of Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 's box art, there are two heads that would appear to be separate characters. In actuality, they are both one whole character, as the art seems to be showing off one of Nickelodeon's stranger creations: CatDog. Cat and Dog are conjoined siblings that face a number of challenges due to their radically different personalities, but they often find some way to work together eventually. It will be very interesting to see how this dynamic translates to Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 's gameplay. Perhaps their elongated body will allow for mechanics similar to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 's Min Min , though this is purely speculat
