This is my favourite series ever made, and, honestly, I’m relieved to finally see it being represented in a modern video game, even if Aang and Korra are getting into fistfights with the dinosaur from Rugrats.That said, a lot of people will contend that the show didn’t do enough to promote that central gay relationship in the series. As for now, though, I’m just happy that it seems Avatar is being included to at least some extent. Hopefully there are more characters, stages, and tracks from Avatar included in the final game.
Now, though… Well, I might start playing Smash again so I can become an esports pro as a Korra main. If they weren’t in All-Star Brawl, there’s no way in hell I’d have considered playing it. Still, it’s refreshing to see some confirmation that we’ve got at least one Avatar stage and two Avatar characters. As protagonists of some of Nick’s biggest shows, they’re natural shoo-ins for a game - especially a fighting game. Meanwhile, Aang’s bald head and distinctive ears separate his silhouette from those of pretty much every other Nickelodeon character ever created. Korra’s braids are usually pretty thin, but if you watch an action sequence from the show you’ll see that her hair thickens in combat. When you consider that Avatar: The Last Airbender is Nickelodeon’s highest-rated show of all time, and that Nick recently set up Avatar Studios as a means of specifically focusing on the future of that series, it would seem absolutely absurd for it to exclude it from its upcoming brawler.įortunately, my research was not in vain, for I have found multiple pieces of evidence pointing to Avatar’s involvement in Nickelodeon’s All-Star Brawl. For the sake of comparison, SpongeBob has an 8.2, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has a 7.8, and The Wild Thornberrys has a 6.7, all of which - as mentioned in the first paragraph - have characters representing them in the game. Where is Aang? Korra? Katara? Zuko? Iroh? Sokka? Toph? Asami? The Last Airbender has a rating of 9.3 on IMDb, while Korra earned itself a respectable 8.4. So, like any normal human being, I set the new trailer to 0.25x and scoured it for clues.

I’m admittedly a little less into The Legend of Korra, but it’s still probably in my top ten TV shows. Well, SpongeBob SquarePants, Michaelangelo and Leonardo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Nigel Thornberry from The Wild Thornberrys, one particular Nickelodeon series was weirdly absent: Avatar.Īvatar: The Last Airbender is my favourite series of all time - I watched the whole 61-episode run three times during the pandemic and have an enormous tattoo based on The Tale of Iroh lining the inside of my right bicep. While the reveal trailer featured a variety of iconic characters like SpongeBob SquarePants from. Yesterday, it was announced that Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is due to launch this fall.
