I am not an Avatar fan, but I will caution Avatar fans that Nickelodeon games are historically made for shoestring budgets; basically whatever they find in the couch cushions. As a fighting game fan, there’s enough left to the imagination here that this game could be literally anything, and the developer has no other games to its name on Steam.
Nickelodeon isn’t mentioned and I don’t believe they’ve been a part of Avatar’s new development studio or creative direction for awhile.
While I do see a generic game, it’s worth blaming the right people.
It’s a Nickelodeon property and their stamp is on the end credits card. But yeah, maybe the money is flowing in a different direction for this one, and perhaps Avatar has a better shot than All-Star Brawl.
You’re right, Nickelodeon is still a part of Avatar. When the owners created their own studio I thought they took the IP with them, but I guess only going forward.
I don’t trust Nickelodeon to get this right.
Actually, this developer must be that new group made to buy out the fighting game properties from Maximum Entertainment (Diesel Legacy and Them’s Fightin’ Herds). I saw that there was a post with a commitment to fix up Them’s Fightin’ Herds with some of the original dev team, but that was from a post that was taken down before I got to view it myself. Sounds like the page went live before it was supposed to. But if you’re a fan of TFH, like @missingno@fedia.io , it might be worth keeping an eye on this whenever the official press release is back up. Myself, I really enjoyed Diesel Legacy, but I don’t think that game is going to get anything new going forward.
At one point MaxEnt had announced an Avatar fighting game, but then silently canceled it when everything imploded. So this appears to be a revival of that.
Over a month ago we were told that TFH’s IP had been sold to a new owner, and they’d have an announcement within a month. Announcement still hasn’t happened, but the publisher on Steam was silently changed to Gameplay Group International, along with Diesel Legacy’s.
Sounds shady, TBH. I wonder who they are and why was this deal done in the dark. Every piece of info I found online was deliberately vague.
I guess only time will tell.
