Games To Play If You Like Super Smash Bros.

First up is this hilarious Tweet. It's been long established that the online for the Smash Bros games have always been, quite frankly, awful. Nintendo is a gigantic company and Smash is one of their most profitable properties, so why is the netcode/online experience for every Smash game so arduous?

Tag team game modes are almost a given in a multiplayer brawl game like this one . There are a few moments within the trailer that show a couple of characters teaming up against another player. This could very well just be a free-for-all situation but more than likely the trailer is slyly pointing to team-based modes.

This tweet by NibrocRock is playing off of that, and they're pretending to have "insider" knowledge of the game from their uncle, and use a fake mock-up to "confirm" that Kappa Mikey will be in the game. It's a hilarious joke playing off the classic "My dad works at Nintendo" meme we all know and love, even if there's a 0.1% chance Mikey actually makes it into the final game. Though, with Avatar characters already confirmed , it seems like there might be a lot of room for just about anyone to make it in. And, the devs seem open about oddball character choices, so hopefully, we won't have to go through the pain of seeing more beloved characters relegated to Mii Fighter costumes anymore
It would be nice for Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl to embrace every facet of Nickelodeon history, and ensure that more live-action shows (such as All That, Amanda Show, and Clarissa Explains It All) get some representation as well.


Popular characters from Nickelodeon's current shows are fully represented so far, but so are several characters from Nicktoons past . With it seeming like the roster can cover all of Nickelodeon's history, there are plenty of characters that fans are clamoring for to be in this potential new franch


It's gameplay can be enjoyed online via official servers, and more updates will continue to slowly come out as its developer also works on Fraymakers , an indie crossover fighting game that recently had a successful crowdfunding campaign. That original game will feature Ultra Fishbunjin 3000 from Slap City and Orcane from Rivals of Aether , so fans of those games should keep an eye on it as w


Those looking for another high quality platform fighter can look no further than Rivals of Aether . This 2D fighter features animal champions from four elemental factions (along with Ori and Shovel Knight guest characters), and again sports a roster full of diverse characters and playstyles. This title has interesting modes like the randomized challenges in Abyss Mode, the more casual Tetherball minigame, and Abyss Versus, which will let players take their custom builds into battle with frie

Lastly, Pat here's Tweet about the lobby system of All-Stars Brawl is another in-joke for fighting game fans. Of course, even a casual fighting game player could piece this joke together, but the audience who has played games made by Arc System Works like Dragon Ball FigherZ or Guilty Gear Strive with weird lobby systems will understand this joke on a deeper level.

Hostile, aggressive, and defensive over his enchiladas, Crazy Steve was definitely a fan-favorite character in Drake and Josh. Jerry Trainor’s performance is a memorable one, and Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl Stars News could definitely use a wildcard like Crazy Steve in the roster.

We hadn't thought about it until now, but thanks to @ActualAero's question on Twitter, what is the soundtrack of this game going to be like? The most realistic possibility is that it'll just use the background music from all the Nickelodeon shows and movies as stage music, with a couple of new songs created just for the game.

Seeing that one stage in the trailer pointed to or hinted at certain platform-specific characters or stages. This may not actually happen at launch but could certainly be an aspect for DLC down the line.


Roof Rage is a small indie game on Steam and Switch that is surprisingly fun. Its thirteen different characters are gorgeously rendered in pixel art, and it's smooth animations and good game feel are sure to impress. The game plays in a comparable way to the average platform fighter, but it's systems and the impact of landing hits sets it ap


One of its biggest unique traits is that it supports eight-player matches like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate itself. While Roof Rage isn't a bastion of platform fighter innovation like Indie Pogo or King of the Hat might be, it's definitely a platform fighting game hidden gem and worth looking i

So, if the dev confirmation turns out to be true, Clipboards and a large group of other gamers are hedging their bets on the idea that a lot of longtime Smash players will quickly hop over to All-Stars Brawl, since it seems like it'll be more of a competitive game than anyone was likely expecting.


An early entrant to the Nicktoons universe, Rocko's Modern Life is one of the zaniest shows Nickelodeon has ever made , having a wide range of wacky characters it introduced to fans. The show's popularity has strong enough that it should have a character on this roster, and Rocko is the prime candidate h
