The launch of Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is just one week away. Come 5th October, fans of Nickelodeon series such as Spongebob, Ninja Turtles, The Loud House, Rugrats, Hey Arnold!, Ren & Stimpy and more will be able to scrap in a Smash Bros.-style free-for-all, and today Nintendo Life has an exclusive first look at one of the fighters: Nigel from The Wild Thornberrys.
The developer-hosted showcase video above gives you a good idea of the animalistic abilities and smashing moves of one Nigel Archibald Thornberry, animal lover, moustachioed pilot and nasally gifted patriarch of the Thornberry clan. Below we've got his full move set broken down in a handy chart:

"This video is unavailable"
Huh? 😕
I kinda hope that the devs don't add voice acting, because you just can't have Nigel Thornberry without Tim freakin' Curry.
Hmmm... interesting
Ha, just looking into the video. Watch this space...
Edit: Aaaaand it's live! Apologies for the little wait, there. Enjoy!
I used to work on this show! I don't play platform fighters, but i'm tempted to pick it up just to represent. If they include someone from As Told by Ginger, then i'm for sure buying this!
The woodpecker move looks OP!
Who is going to get this game? I was thinking between this and Mario Party . Smashing. Needs voices though.
Tea time is fun.
I don’t see the big appeal in this game. Not when smash is on the same system( don’t know if all star brawl is on other systems but just talking about switch)
@CharlieGirl Maybe they could rely on old recordings? It would be a bit odd not to hear them at all. Sadly, I would imagine all of the budget would go to the likes of Tom Kenny & Richard Horvitz etc. leaving the chance of them organising Tim Curry to do new material very slim. It's probably super difficult for Tim Curry to travel too, so I guess they would have to send him to local studio =0(
@blindsquarel yeah its more systems. also ps4, ps5 and xbox.
Btw. realeases the same day as the last smash update (oct 5th.)
@Anti-Matter " The developer-hosted showcase video above (which we're working to get live ASAP, so watch this space!) "
Yes! Can't wait to see his moveset. Last time we saw him, he looked like a bad character but maybe that was just the player, time to give Nigel and honest shot.
Where is the DUGONG attack?
Says up-light attack is Mosquito Clap in the video, but Elephant Trunk in the infographic?
Nintendo Life getting an NASB exclusive video? Unexpected.
Nick All Star Brawl has been getting pretty rocking praise as of late, from the gameplay videos and PR. These guys only have a small fraction of the Smash Bros Ultimate budget to the point where there's no voice acting (it's possible that VO COULD be added in the future if it does well) and yet they delivered so much fighting game and/or smash bros knowhow with Nicktoons love and wrapped it in tight gameplay.
This is looking like a winner right here.
Video sounds like splatoon squid research narrator, but that's not a bad thing. These Nintendo IP game devs/marketing are taking notes of Nintendo successes and putting them to good use.
@Captain_Toad I hope the best for the game, not a smash killer, just decently popular or popular enough so we get VA. We already have DLC confirmed!
@NintendoGamer202444 yup. its smashing enough. with some tea attacks.
Jeez, my wallet sounds like it's smashing now.
@Captain_Toad No XJ9, no buy for me.
I love that the moveset is based on him imitating animals maybe they could of give him a falcon punch type move but he says smashing
@blindsquarel I'm starting to think it's ironic, but there are so many people making such a fuss about this game, i guess its because of the meme and the liscenced characters, i've played games from the same developer before, it's mostly bargain bin shovelware, the trailers for this game show really stiff and unsatisfying gameplay, so this does not seem like a GOTY or anything, but it'll be nice for the kids or the adults i guess...(but not really), still, i guess its kinda neat to see some of the Characters we've grown up with to fight against each other? But again, we already have smash for that
@CharlieGirl
The lack of VA makes it immediately a lot less appealing.
@Octane it's such a weird oversight. I only watched that vid for a minute or so and the lack of any voice/grunts is.... off-putting
@Octane Yeah a lot of these characters are carried hard by their VA and dialogue.
A character would need to be Pikachu/Hello Kitty/Mario tier iconic for VA not to matter. Which for this game is only SpongeBob and the Ninja Turtles.
I'm just glad that Nigel doesn't look as trash tier as he did in that other video (forgot which 1). Would've been nice if when he did attacks more actual animals came out, though budget or time may be a constraint.
@sikthvash Tim Curry suffered a stroke in 2012 and it affected his speech and mobility, they’s have no choice BUT to use archival footage.
Give me collaboration with Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, and I would be sold.
I'll pass.
No need for this, when I have Smash Bros. Ultimate.
I have no doubt that modders will add voice clips to the game.
@ZebZed I know, but he has done some voice acting since, albeit in a limited capacity. Such a shame, he's an iconic actor with a wonderful voice.
