Everyone is aflutter from the Disney boy joining Smash Bros, but I’ve never played aKingdom Hearts. I did, however, spend many hours as an early teen watching Hey Arnold! and CatDog. I am therefore more excited about today’s release ofNickelodeon All-Star Brawl, a Smash-like platform brawler starring Nickelodeon characters including Spongebob and Invader Zim.

There aren’t many things I feel genuine nostalgia for, but the late-’90s/early-’00s era of Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network is up there. All-Star Brawl features characters and stages from Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, The Wild Thornberrys, Rugrats, Korra and many more. Each character has their own particular fighting style.

There are singleplayer and multiplayer modes, with the latter supporting local and online play for up to 4 players. I couldn’t tell you if it has real competitive legs, but I would like to crowd round a screen and play it with anN64 controller and three friends, please.

Hopefully it’s successful enough that it gets new characters added in the future. I want Pustulio DLC.

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is availablefrom Steamwith a 20% launch discount at £32/€40.
