Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl adds voice acting and items

By

Nickelodeon All-Stars Brawl has dropped plenty of updates adding new characters to the Smash Bros-esque title. The latest addition coming in a free update today brings one of the most wanted features to the cartoon crossover fighter: Voice acting for all its characters.

Our next major FREE update is here – and it's a big one! We're super excited to announce that voice acting and items are available TODAY on PC, @Xbox and @Playstation. @Nintendo Switch coming soon! #NickBrawl pic.twitter.com/nTLK5T6zEG

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl released to a mixed reception from players and critics. While we enjoyed the game in our review, we had complaints about its lack of content. The missing features list included voice acting, which is finally coming with the latest update.

The game’s developer, Ludosity, posted a list showing off all the voice actors joining the fray to lend their talent to the production. Cartoon fans will find tons of familiar names in the listing.

Items are now in the game, which is a major change for the title. All-Star Brawl may be a Smash Bros-inspired game but it launched without that core gameplay system. Players can now dive in and use Nickelodeon-inspired tools to take down their opponents.

Items and voice acting aren’t the only additions coming with today’s free update. Ludosity confirmed that a balance patch and a few bug fixes are a part of the package as well. Those updates come alongside the game’s latest character, Jenny “XJ8” Wakeman from My Life as a Teenage Robot.

This isn’t the last update coming to Nickelodeon All-Stars Brawl. Future DLC characters like Rocko of Rocko’s Modern Life fame are set to join at a later date. Players can expect more balance updates and possibly more stages to come with these future additions.

Nickelodeon All-Stars Brawl is available for free to PlayStation Plus subscribers this month. Players can get in on the fresh additions for the game today with its free update.

Look out Super Smash Bros. Melee. Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is getting a sequel

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, the Super Smash Bros.-like fighting game from 2021 that starred characters from notable Nickelodeon shows, is getting a direct sequel later this year. Eat your heart out, Super Smash Bros. Melee.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 - Exclusive Announcement Trailer
An article on IGN, which revealed Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 for GameMill Entertainment, highlights some more new details about this game. Obviously, there's a visual overhaul to the characters and stages, but there are some notable gameplay additions as well. Players will have access to powerful new Super attacks, and there will be lots of new fighters to try out. The two new ones revealed in this trailer are Squidward from SpongeBob SquarePants and Jimmy Neutron from The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius.
All of the game's characters will have voice acting at launch too, which wasn't the case with the first game. Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 will feature multiple new game modes, including a single-player campaign where Nickelodeon characters unite to stop Vlad Plasmius from Danny Phantom. On top of all that, there will be full cross-play across all platforms at launch. 

While it's unlikely that this sequel to a fun but janky fighting game will ever come anywhere close to the revered Super Smash Bros. Melee in quality, it's nice to see that Ludosity and Fair Play Labs got an opportunity to refine their crossover fighting game series further.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 launches sometime later this year for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch. It will cost $50 at launch and has a $25 season pass that grants an exclusive SpongeBob SquarePants skin at launch and four new characters over the course of 2024.

All Stim upgrade locations in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

Just like Fallen Order before it, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has many Souls-like elements. Outside of the general flow of combat, and the way Meditation Points work, Stims are essentially analogous to your Estus flas -- a limited healing resource that you can only replenish by resting. You will only start with a meager two Stims, leaving you with very little room for error even on low-difficulty settings. Thankfully, Stim Upgrades allow you to increase that number by one for each you manage to find. Given how powerful these are, you'll want to gather up as many as possible to ensure your survival in the galaxy far, far away. If The Force isn't so strong with you, allow us to guide you to all the Stim Upgrade locations in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

We will outline where to find each Stim organized by the planet they're on, so minor spoilers ahead if you haven't seen every planet in the game yet.

All perks in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has a wide variety of skills to learn alongside its five unique lightsaber stances, ensuring you have no shortage of ways to customize your playstyle. The addition of perks bumps up those options even further, granting you the ability to equip badges that improve certain aspects of protagonist Cal Kestis' kit, such as increasing XP earned or improving his ability to break the guard of his foes. Some are found by exploring, while others are purchased from a particular vendor and unlocked fairly early in the game. A handful of perks are unlocked only after beating the game and starting New Game Plus.

Each of these perks uses a certain number of perk slots when equipped, so you'll have to make some tough decisions about which ones you want to have active at any one time. Luckily, exploring the galaxy will net you some additional perk slots, so you'll be able to equip more as you get further in your adventure. Even with all of the perk slots unlocked, however, you'll still want to strongly consider which perks will benefit you best. We'll make that a bit easier on you by listing all of the perks you can find in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, what boons they offer, and how many perk slots they'll take up.
Perks discovered by exploring
These perks are found by thoroughly exploring the world and completing objectives. You may have to overcome some pretty tough challenges to find them all.
