Nickelodeon All Star Brawl 2 is a banger and deserves the love and attention it’s getting, from the campaign, boss fights, mini games and cross play. It’s will be hilarious if NASB2 won fighting game of the year.

The main reason why people refuse to buy this game is the SO many Smash Bros fans constantly saying that every SINGLE Smash Clone WILL be a Smash Killer SPECIALLY HungryBox who is ONCE AGIAN trying to ruin this game like the original and Multiversus.

I LOVE Nasb 2 I’m so happy they listened to EVERY issue they heard. It’s like an actual game this time. My game of the year, sucks people are still hating

Something very concerning is that this game has a LOT less players at launch than the last one on steam.

Glad you brought this up 5:14. I came across a comment who said NASB2 should not be like Smash and should keep updating. At first that complexes me because Smash Ultimate did after Base Game and ended because knowing that Sakurai and the Dev team are moving on. But the point you made makes entire sense and explains a lot on that comment's mindset, that they have the 'Fortnite' mentality. It's a real shame that many think games now should just be updated over and over, just some games don't work with this kind of development in mind.

The game was a sales success, people tend to forget that it was a low budget game and it sold much more than expected, it even had DLC something that no other Nick's game had.

They made a sequel and gave up on it faster than the first game

the main reason why people refuse to buy the game for 50$ is because we bought the first one for the same price and got ripped tf off. People who got the first one should get a discount at least. Without us buying the first ass game there wouldnt have been a second one to begin with ! NO ONE wants this to be free like Fortnite or Apex like WTF Dude. It just feels bad to pay the 50$ twice

I definitely understand people feeling burned by the first game not wanting to invest in this one. I was one of those who laughed when I saw a sequel was announced. I wanted to like the first game, but it got so repetitive so fast and didn't have much else going for it. Patching in voice acting was crazy too. But NASB 2 definitely won me over with the trailers and mentions of the slime meter and whatnot. I bought it day one and have had a lot of fun with it. It's succeeded in making the first game a non-factor for me since it's been overhauled in every way. I was willing to take the risk though. Hopefully more people keep praising it so it can do well. It definitely deserves an active community.

The reason why i'm not getting this game besides from the past trauma with the first game, is because there's no 2v2 online with a friend.

How did they make a new whole game unless then a year and not just update the first game should never even made a second one tbh

The one problem I have with NASB 2 is the time of release. I feel it's a bit too soon after the first game. I do understand that maybe GameMill wanted to get the upper hand over the other platform fighters soon to be on the market (Fraymakers, Rivals 2, etc.) so it's best to drop yhe hame now. I think if they had waited to release it next fall or maybe spring 2025, it would really sell the idea more of this game being new.

4:52 these complaints are justified and make a lot of sense. Dunno why they still have to make the game 50$ literally 30-25$ would be much more feasible

Why do I have to do 2v2 with randoms why I can’t I just invite my homie to my lobby and we both load in to play like how multiverse was

what are you talking about? people spent money on the first and now have to pay 50$ for a new one. thats why they are mad its not like smash bros where they play fir 5 years and then a new one comes out nasb1 was out for like 1 second and then died and now they want you to pay for a whole new one

Ok i paid 50 dollars once. Give me the game i paid for... you know the second one that was complete.

Bitch literally thinks people goy bored half-way through World of Light? It's no Subspace Emissary, but it's still fun to play through every year. Also, he's acts like Shredder was the only one they cut, they took out Leonardo & Michelangelo! Those were like the most popular characters in the classic series; Raphael being the most popular in the original comics, 2k3 series, and such; and Donatello not becoming a favorite until the 2012 series, where he and Michelangelo were about even in popularity. Enough about popularity, no sane person would be comforted to know they _might_ be able to buy Leo & Mike at some later date as DLC, especially not after already having them in the first game. This whole thing is the poster child for "Give 'em jelly donuts, take 'em all away." I don't think anyone wants a "Free to Play" gacha monstrosity, they just wanted to not have to pay twice for a game that's _still_ largely unfinished.

I commend the developers for making a proper video game this time around and with an actual budget, but I feel it’s too late for them to win me over personally. Maybe when the game is 20 dollars, I’d buy it.

The first game was a huge financial success, so I'd consider a sequel to be warranted

My issue isn’t the fact that the game isn’t fun, cus it is. But it’s an absolutely buggy mess. I wanted to play Zim. But through Gir taking your stocks in the campaign mode, the entire stage violently shaking at random while playing as him specifically, the online system barely seeming like rank matters (seriously why are all the try-hard sweats on silver), and various other bugs I’ve had, it just does NOT seem like it’s finished OR worth 50 dollars.

I see a misconception in the video about the pricing issue. The $50 price tag on its own is not a problem because of f2p games. Following that logic Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 1 would be a way worse offender. The problem is that some people already paid said 50 bucks on the first entry and get asked to pay the same amount again in order to buy something that could just as well be an update or a DLC.

My main reasons for not playing this: 1) Price tag, I think $50 is just too much. I paid $60 for Smash Ultimate, I wouldn't want to pay anything more than like $30 for this. 2) Animations. They are still janky looking and don't have a whole lot of fluidity to them. Not as bad as the first one for sure, in fact I'd say everything is probably improved from the first game minus the lack of some characters in exchange for others that are less desirable IMO. 3) Needing to push a button to drop through platforms. TBH I don't know for a fact that this game has it but that alone really hampered the gameplay for me in the first one. I like being able to just push down to drop, doesn't make sense that I'd need to push a seperate button for it and it made the game feel really clunky. 4) It is just more of the same game but better, which would make more sense to me if I had liked the original game. It's one of the only games I've ever refunded because I was just really not feeling it for the price I paid on launch, which was like $45 I think. I'd buy another Smash Bros with a cut back roster and some new mechanics for full price, but I can't justify doing that for NASB2. 5) Just waiting for Rivals 2. I have a limited amount of money and time and I personally think it'll be better spent there.

5:15 ah yes let's just add an update where we delete the majority of the entire first game and install this entirely new layout that changes nearly everything.

I can see why. The first game was god awful so of course a majority of players wouldn’t play the sequel. Either that, or it’s because the sequel chooses to ignore the Nicktoons Unite games by having the SpongeBob & Danny Phantom characters Invader Zim and Jimmy Neutron don’t know each other or their worlds, despite the fact that the Nicktoons Unite series of games are canon to those shows.

Tbh my thing is like "if it cant realistically be on the same level of quality as smash, or better, then there is not point" these games are fun for a bit, but not worth the price of admission for me. I already own smash, and the quality just isnt comparable. Obviously this is an indie studio, so I respect them, but I cant buy a game I wont play more than 5 minutes.

The difference betweeen dark souls 1 to 2 comapared to NASB 1 and 2. Is that there is lots of time between and not fighting game. It should have been 50% off for people who bought the first one. Like its way to short after the last dlc pack from the last one which wasnt finished.

7:30 - Smell that? The milk has gone sour.

From what I’ve seen this game seems to be playing pretty good so far (besides the switch version) and honestly looks like a nice decent platform fighter. I really think the devs are trying their absolute best as much as possible. Unfortunately, Gamemill seems to always want to eagerly release a game as quick as they can. If the publisher was more patient and willing to wait for polish instead of rushing head first for quick easy money then I think the first installment of NASB would’ve certainly been more better than how we saw NASB1 at launch. Hate to see that the devs get usually shat on I can tell they really are trying their best to making NASB as enjoyable as possible. Moving on from that, there is also the concern of roster cuts in NASB2 which totals up to eleven cuts. Really sucks to see that many cuts, especially since we still don’t have all four turtles playable. Again, I’m assuming this is due to perhaps the development time they were given that they had to cut that many characters but tried to at least be somewhat careful at what to cut in favor of potential more funner moveset. This decision making really shows to be affective at times when we have some great character reworks and space for awesome newcomers like the beavers but also hurts perception of this installment as well since characters like Catdog were sacrificed. I really do hope they do some kind of free dlc crap thing to bring back some veterans and at the very least have Mikey and Leo back. The second game is much better than the first but there’s still some glaring spots that need more improvement. In the end, I really wish the best for the developers of the first and second game in developing current and future projects they have in mind.

Better than the first one, but aside of the novelty, the game still feels unpolished in some areas that honestly kinda breaks the immersion for me. Not to mention the loading times and random crashes

My main issue with the game is that they weren’t actually given enough time. My evidence being rocksteady as dlc because his model was already in the files, the super attacks looking unfinished, and the large amount of cuts. I really doubt if the team had more time they’d cut Leo and Mikey which leads to an incomplete TMNT roster, whilst adding 5 avatar characters (3 being firebenders). Ofc this is my theory, but Gamemill realistically didn’t give them that big of a dev window, which is why they mainly focused on overhauling the gameplay instead of reworking most of the characters from the base game, which would make logical sense. But, as a crossover platform fighter, characters are undeniably a big factor and as stated in the video someone may not buy because of this reason alone. Gameplay wise, it’s safe to assume the casual player isn’t going to utilize slime to its fullest potential or learn any advanced tech, so the gameplay overhaul ironically won’t be as big of a purchase factor for a casual audience either, especially considering the price tag in addition to everything mentioned. Overall it’s a fun game, but I think it’ll be a niche competitive hit surprisingly enough rather than a hit casual platform fighter

brother really said smash ultimate had "nobody to play with"

I feel like i got scammed, i paid 40 dollars and expected a banger game, and now they made the game i expected. I'm just disappointed as a person who can't throw money on games left or right. I feel like a compensation like me being able to play the game for a month because i bought the first game would be good enough.

I don’t want to get the game because it cut a lot of characters, the roster choices aren’t amazing (two turtles, no Hugh, no FOP, Lucy Loud but no Lincoln, no Arnold but there’s Hey Arnold characters, but there’s 5 Spongebob characters), and on top of all of that while it is more polished than the first game it’s still a overall unpolished buggy mess. The developer’s attitude about it all is very dismissive too and seems to be telling anyone with criticism to shut up based off a tweet he made. I don’t feel like financially supporting a buggy beta class project just because Spongebob is in it. There are fan games with more polish than this and it’s sad. You can argue it’s just like Melee and although Melee does have it’s faults it’s still way more polished than this game and has a much better line up of characters. If this game fixes its act, polishes up a lot of things and adds some more characters to make a more complete roster I’ll consider it but as of now this game isn’t worth the price tag or investment. People literally pick up games based off who they can play and this game is lacking that. These guys are pretty smart and have a lot of great ideas and design choices but don’t have the skill or consistency to pull any of it off. With every good choice they make they shoot themselves in the foot with another.

Rivals 2 comes out next year though, so I'm banking on that instead lol and also the fact they want to charge $50 a second time for this game

The real question is, why would I invest time and money in Nasb2 when rivals 2 looks so sick?

I feel like if you bought the first one. They should've given you a discount on the second one. Mostly because the second one came out really fast After just coughing up a full price for a game. But all in all I will say. They made massive upgrades in the game actually pretty fun

my only problem with the game is that i heard it runs a bit bad on switch, 30 fps? cmon, does anybody knows if it has been fixed?

I can't wait to really sink my teeth into this one, loved the first game, love Ludocity and I'm so glad they got real funding to take another stab at it, without other companies actively trying to cancel it with flashy but unsubstatial bs... and Sora >.>

They added in Donatello and Raphael...and, removed Leonardo and Michaelangelo. *LOGIC!* 🤦

Why is this guy comparing adding updates to an unfinished game to games with fully fleshed out sequels like dark souls?

To be able to just add on things to the base game over and over, the base game has to be already good first.

This is a rare win for GameMill. If they could do this for some of their other licensed games like the notorious Rise of Kong, there should be less complaints or worries going forward. GameMill still has a long way to go, but this is a good first step in their redemption.

You know what I’m going to be honest. This game is better than the first, but that was a very low bar. And it sure is better, it just ain’t good. 🤷‍♂️

Lol, I love that when you said "bland", you showed us gameplay of Stinkoln Loud.

I want to get into it, but dropping ANOTHER 40$ into it is the only reason I can’t.

NASB2 is a remake not a sequel. They made the game from the ground up, why would they give it for free? Like that doesn’t make any sense. A comparison is Smash 4 to Smash ultimate

I want to like it, but the character cuts are not increasing but copy and paste over same franchises. Example is like paste Squidward or Plankton over Sandy. Gertie or Gerald over Helga. Angry Beavers paste over Catdog is a complete turnoff. The campaign is good, but it gets repetitive with the exception of different dialogue between fighters. There are some from the first that should have never been cut out. Money is hard to spend right now and to get what your money should be worth. But right now this is not a platform fighter for me.

My question Why the developers don't put a demo in platforms? Just like all others fighting games (sf6, kof).

I think if or when this game goes on sale, I might buy it. This coming out so soon after the first game probably burned some customers after how it was handled. On top of that my favorite character got cut so idk.

Multiversus right now it's still playable through the "Lab" mode, which if they come back it would be great if they add an Offline Campaign too

Major problem with this game.... If you want to just casually play a quick brawl agaisnt cpu, no matter what level you put them at, they just constantly get stuck on the edge of the map and dont even try to jump up. They will stay dangling there for the entire match unless you hit them with a down attack..then they just fall to their death..also you cant switch the controls around for campaign? Im extremely dissapointed with the game and will be getting a refund.

i never understood why people complaining that nasb 2 shouldn't be 50$ When we have games like Madden,2k and Cod that are just updates Packaged as full games with microtransactions made by tipple a studios.and people eat it up

I think that the release window is practically perfect. Smash hasnt done anything after Sora, Multiversus is hibernating, and Rivals 2 is around the corner it has a huge chance to succeed. The release window of the first game was absolutely horrible, reminded me of Titanfall 2's release. It was in the middle of so much platform fighting stuff, Multiversus, Sora being in Smash, new Rivals DLC, Fraymaker's announcement. It was just not a good time for that game to show up.

I've loved NASB2 so far. But has anyone had connectivity issues online? Freezing, crashing, forever loading, etc. Cant build rating when its punished for disconnecting lol

The 1st one is currently $5 on sale, sounding like I should stay away from it and play the 2nd one instead?

Im waiting on a sale already got burned by the original and this is gamemill were talking about a 3 game is gonna get made in 2 more years like nope

Okay I’m 7 months late into this. This game worth getting now or wait for part 3? Cause that’s my concern if I get it now since this one technically was released rather fast from the first one.

u compared the nasb2 campaign to multiversus an f2p game but imo multiversus arcade is just better cause its actually challenging.

I paid 5$ for all star 1 thinking it was 2 becuase it was a sale for 1 hour . So I jumped on it as I wanted to try it years ago . And no one is online . NO ONE

Bruh I’m in the video wtf lmaoo

I’m not getting game. Not until I get the platnuim for the first All-Stars Brawl

i play on pc with friends and the rollback netcode and gameplay is honestly great. way better than 1, its super fun. Feels like a slightly slower rivals of aether but with RC and burst from GG

honestly the biggest barrier for me is the music. it's just not exciting to listen to, which makes me reluctant to even look at the game

After the first game, im not spending any money on any platform fighters ever again

2:45 while i agree that the standard of smash ultimate specifically is a bit too lofty (most smash games don't even accomplish that, and in exchange they usually had more newcomers) it's not like the giant roster leaves you without options to play with, i like many smash ultimate characters. multiversus was an open alpha/beta, hard to criticize it in that way.

Content/other things you can do All Stars: you fight Multiverse: you fight Ultimate: you fight featuring Sandbag & World of Light

I dont think I had an issue with paying for the game, I just think a reduced price would have been nice for anyone who bought the original.

I haven’t gotten the game yet because I plan on getting the physical version.

Is there a possibility they couldn’t get the voice actors for the full initial roster?

I stopped playing because the load time on switch was too long in between matches.

I love the rhought of a slime meter lol

Game deserves more love. Me and my nickers been enjoying this game.

Should have been a 20$ upgrade for people who bought the first one.

I'm tired of games running @ 30fps on Switch just because. If Smash Ultimate was 60fps why is this game 30fps? If MGS was 60fps on 20yr old hardware why is it 30fps on Switch? I don't like calling devs lazy but clearly they do not optimize as best as they can on Switch

Even in Smash they would remove characters, true it wouldn't be a lot but yeah it's normal. Also the Final Smash in the games feel a bit undercooked. My guess is they decided to do them last, which is fine. They definitely improved a lot, they even added costumes for characters, better animations. My only problem is that Garfield feels out of place compared to the others. Anyways glad they got a chance to make a new game and I hope we get more villains next time

In Australia i couldn't justify its $70 price tag and cause of sale got it for $47 . Still learning the game but i feel it has potential

I didn't play the first one much so i didn't get it. I prefer watching people play since I'm not a fighting game person.

I don't understand why people only play One v one ranked I can't find any matches in any other game mode

About the complain of adding things and not making a new game to charge again. While i do understand your point, is not a good one when you take into consideration games like Fifa or the new MW3. No one is better for me, the difference would fall in the players feeling.

It's not because less is more. It is a perception issue. Since they are changing up all the characters so much it turns into work almost equivalent to making new characters. If they spend all their time reworking every character, they will have little time to work on newcomers. By just ditching some of the characters they have time to work on more newcomers which drives more hype, is perceived more positively by fans, and motivates the dev team more by working on something new. If they just reworked every character and added just a few newcomers everyone would complain because it seems like less work was done from a consumer's perspective. You add them in later and now everyone is praising them as a company that listens.

nice im in a KZfaq video lol mine was more of a confusion then a complaint i never played the game

As someone that didn't even get the first game cause it didn't seem worth it I'm really considering getting this one it looks like the first game, but ya know good this time. And as far as roster goes outside of a couple removed ones I kinda wish was still there it's generally a better roster than the first had for me. A bunch of characters In the first one I didn't even know who they were but practically every character in 2 is from right in the middle of the prime of my childhood.

Seems the campaign will likely follow the magic of what melee do because melee has a great event campaign that is replayable

Man gives honest words! This game is AMAZING!!! So much charm and love is in this! Heck, Gamemill said that almost the entire game was made from scratch!

Squidward In The Thumbnail : "I Can't Believe I Got For This Stupid Game. How Will I Ever Get Money Now?" 😢

I’m a hardcore competitive Smash player and hell I’ve even invested money into Multiverses thinking it’ll be better eventually but nope.. Let down… However, Nick Allstars 2 actually is meeting and in some ways surpassing my expectations. Nostalgia aside? This is pretty awesome

They really need to give NASB 2 a chance. It is 10x better then the original

...why do you want to catch me...

Imagine crying about a game you don't have to Play 😂 clowns

Game should be at most 30 dolllars and i promise you yhe plsyercount would be way higher but 50 dollars plus tax for a platform fughting gane that failed the first time while multiverse had its issues but was completely free is why this game needs a sell soon or it will not have a high player count within months

They took out Toph which I had been using since the first game came out and didn't really liked the feel of any other character and didn't bother with the 2nd game because I felt punished for not playing certain character.

What is the ost for the character changes part of the video

Bro I might be crazy but I remember a Nickelodeon smash clone way before all stars brawl came out

My one problem I have with some people is that kind forgot multiversus was a beta

This game may cost $49.99. But why does the first one have the same price tag as well?

I'd probably play the game if there wasn't just pc players making me rethink my purchase 💀

The most annoying thing is you can't play 2 player with 2 joycons you need 4 joycons last time I tried

Itsa shame the devs weren't given the chance to make NASB 2 the first time around, back when the series had much more hype.

This game shocked me. While i still have issues......actually still alot of issues, the game is so much more polished and actualy fun and functional.

The game looks fun! I just can’t afford it at the moment 💀
