Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is a Super Smash Bros-like fighting game that stars a cast of Nickelodeon characters from beloved franchises and television series. Prior to this announcement, the game did not have any voice acting. The lack of voice acting behind the cartoony characters felt off, and was a point of criticism for both fans and critics when the game initially released last year.
In May, the developers announced DLC for three new characters heading to the game: Hugh Neutron from Jimmy Neutron, Jenny from My Life as a Teenage Robot, and Rocko from Rocko’s Modern Life.
