Update: When someone says “soon”, we expect maybe a few days, but just over an hour ago the developers announced on Twitter that Switch owners do not need to wait even longer and the update is ready to download!
Additionally, Mark DeCarlo – the voice of upcoming DLC warrior Hugh Neutron – revealed that he will reprise his role as the beloved character when he arrives at the Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl later this year!
Original article: Nickelodeon fans will likely be delighted by today’s announcement from Ludosity and Fair Play Labs. The developers behind Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl dropped a brand new update to their anime, which brings new items to the game, but most importantly, the voiceover!
While we enjoyed the time with the game when we reviewed it, the lack of voice acting is something that we have pointed out. Fortunately, art director Diego Hernández confirmed last December that it’s being rolled out, and now we can finally experience it! Well, unless you’re a Switch owner, right now.
For now, while the new patch is available on other consoles and PCs, the update isn’t currently on the Switch. Therefore, we will have to wait a little longer to experience the game as we have always dreamed.
For now, we can share a confirmed cast list for the game, which includes many of the iconic return voices for the roster:
