Rocko will be added toNickelodeon All-Star Brawlon October 7. His addition to the game further proves that the developers listen to the requests from their players, as Rocko has been among the most-requested characters alongside Jenny Wakeman fromMy Life as a Teenage Robot. It is still unknown what exactly Rocko will bring to the brawling table as far as his move set, as all attacks are still in TBA status. However, fans can expect thatRocko’s brawl move setwill depend highly on his species and overall personality. So, his move set could consist of anything, really.
There is still no news on whetherRocko’s dog Spunkywill join the game either, but with the lack of information regarding Rocko’s move set, it is too early to tell whether Spunky is involved in that way. Spunky’s addition toNickelodeon All-Star Brawlin general would make for some creative attack options that further add to the nostalgicRocko’s Modern Lifeflair in the game. The Rocko announcement also came in time for the game’s one-year anniversary, so his addition also serves as the game’s birthday celebration.
There has been mixed reception towardNickelodeon All-Star Brawlwith some complaints about character choices and a lack of action-packed fun compared to other games within the genre, such as Nintendo’sSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. It’s worth pointing out that there have been some improvements since the game’s debut that makeNickelodeon All-Star Brawlstand out from other competitors in its own charming way. Most recent character additions have also been met with praise, especially Jenny and Rocko so far. It also helps that Ludosity and Fair Play Labs consider fan feedback tohelp improve theAll-Star Brawlwhere improvements are desperately needed, making the game’s first full year rather promising. Perhaps the game’s second year will be just as surprising.
