Michelangelo's Attack Move Set in 'Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl' Revealed

We recently got to see SpongeBob SquarePants, Patrick Star and Sandy Cheeks' moves in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, and now the upcoming fighter game's official Twitter has released a move list for another one of the game's playable launch characters. This time, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' own Michelangelo sees his move set revealed. So grab a slice and get ready for some Turtle Power!


From what we can see, the well known party dude has a nice array of different tools at his disposal. Of course, he also comes equipped with his trademark nunchaku as his primary means of attack.

For neutral and up light attacks, Mikey swipes at his foes with his weapon in hand. Down light, however, sees the fun loving turtle slide across the ground whilst rocking out.

Grounded heavies see bigger swings of the nunchaku, as well as an uppercut kick that will likely function well as an anti-air. Jumping heavies appear to cover great space in front of the fighter, with down heavy in the air being a downward strike that looks like it might spike on contact.

Where things get really interesting is Mikey's specials. Neutral special throws a full pizza at the opponent, giving the turtle a projectile to control space on screen.

Down special takes straight from the classic TMNT cartoon and is called "Party Dude." Mikey will spin around on his shell and likely hits multiple times, which we can clearly see is inspired by the intro from the '80s TV show where he spins around on the dance floor.

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is due out on October 5.


Light Attack: Nunchuck Strike, Fist Pump, Air Guitar, Shielding Strike, Helicopter Strike, Snapback Strike, Skateboard Ram

Strong Attack: Wild Swings, Handstand Kick, Split Slam, Duel Strike, Sweeping Kick, Aerial Split Slam, Rear tackle

Special Attack: Wanna Pizza This?, Turtle Line, Party Dude

Nickelodeon All-Stars Brawl: Everything We Learned From the Gameplay Breakdown

A recent gameplay breakdown for Nickelodeon All-Stars Brawl highlights a game that is trying to be much more than a Smash Bros clone.

Upcoming platform fighter Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl has been receiving all kinds of hype as its release date draws nearer. However, it would be foolish not to address its similarities to other games in this genre, such as Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. series and Sony's Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale, along with a handful of indie platform fighters like Brawlhalla and Rivals of Aether.

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is chock full of fun callbacks and fan-favorite characters that makes the game stand out in its own right. Classic characters such as Helga from Hey Arnold and Nigel Thornberry from The Wild Thornberries are making their reappearances after being obscured for nearly a decade outside of internet memes. Of course, fan favorites like Spongebob Squarepants and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are also joining the fight.

The similarity to Super Smash Bros. typically categorizes platform fighters. In these games, characters usually have regular and special attacks that they can use in the air or on the ground. The main goal of these games is to knock your opponent off the screen, which either earns the assailant points or costs the victim a life or a stock. Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl seems to be implementing the core mechanics of this formula.

Each character has three light and strong attacks, along with three special moves. There are down, up and mid attacks and each character has access to grounded and aerial versions of these attacks. Damage builds up as characters land attacks on their opponents. Use light attacks to stack up damage and strong attacks to knock opponents off the stage. These mechanics are nearly a copy and paste of the Super Smash Bros. recipe.

However, this isn't to say that Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl hasn't innovated at all. The strong attacks in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl have a rock-paper-scissors formula built into their interactions with other strong attacks. Down beats Mid and causes the disadvantaged player to suffer from "stagger," immobilizing them for a few seconds. Mid beats Up and causes a "turnaround," having the opponent's character flip to look away from their opponent and Up beats Down, inflicting opponents with a "spinout," causing them to spin out of control and get pushed away/stunned.

There are also Dash attacks that come in light and strong variations. Although dash attacks are nothing new to this genre, in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, fighters can cancel these attacks into anything, including strong attacks and grabs, which immensely opens up the game's combo potential. Grabs work differently from what Smash players are used to -- every character has a grab similar to Donkey Kong that allows characters to move around the stage while holding their opponent. Characters can throw their opponents in any of the three previously mentioned directions.  Characters can even perform grabs in the air.

Guarding has no limits in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl. However, being hit into a ledge while guarding will cause the character to "teeter," canceling their guard and making them vulnerable to a follow-up attack. Guards borrow the concept of perfect guards from their predecessors, allowing characters with good timing/reads to guard attacks and immediately follow up with a counterattack.

Projectiles follow a leveling system that causes them to become more powerful as they get reflected by characters. Instead of having only a handful of characters with the ability to reflect projectiles, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl has given the power to all characters who can time their strong attacks well. Projectiles can even be grabbed out of the air by any character.

Reworked movement allows players to use "strafing," which enables players to hold down the left trigger to prevent turning. Strafing grants players more control over their attacks and allows the use of retreating attacks. Air dashes are also useable in the game but do not offer any invincibility. Characters can use these dashes for dashing forward or dashing downward, and the latter grants players the ability to wave dash. This term will be familiar to fans of Super Smash Bros Melee on the Nintendo Gamecube.

As the sun begins to set on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Fighters Pass, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl could be the platform fighting game to dive into next. With these mechanics and confirmed rollback netcode, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl could become one of the most competitive platform fighters to date when it releases in Fall 2021 on PlayStation 4, Playstation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC.

Nickelodeon Renews 'Side Hustle' for Season 2; To Premiere Oct. 2

NICKELODEON RENEWS HIT LIVE-ACTION BUDDY COMEDY
SIDE HUSTLE FOR A SECOND SEASON

New Episodes Return Beginning Saturday, Sept. 11, at 8 p.m. (ET/PT),
Leading Into Season Two Premiere on Saturday, Oct. 2


Share it: @Nickelodeon @NickSideHustle (Instagram) #SideHustle

HOLLYWOOD, Calif.--Sept. 1, 2021--Nickelodeon announced today that it has renewed its hit live-action buddy comedy Side Hustle for a 20-episode second season.  The series follows best friends Lex (Jules LeBlanc) and Presley (Jayden Bartels) as they take on odd jobs to make money after accidentally destroying a boat belonging to the dad of their friend, Munchy (Isaiah Crews). Side Hustle returns with new episodes beginning Saturday, Sept. 11, at 8 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon, leading into the season two premiere on Saturday, Oct. 2.


In the Side Hustle season two premiere titled “Model Employees,” Lex, Presley and Munchy get hired as models during the town’s big fashion week. Assuming that they were hired to be in the fashion show itself, they soon learn that the job is actually to be toy model builders and not the runway models like they thought. Disappointed by the job they were hired to do, the kids must figure out a way to get into the real fashion show.

Side Hustle follows best friends, smart and sarcastic Lex and confident and tough Presley, after fireworks accidentally destroy a boat belonging to the dad of their quirky friend and neighbor, Munchy. Needing to find a way to pay him back for the boat, they devise a plan to take on local jobs in order to make enough money to cover the costs. Using KidDING!, an app created by Presley’s tech-savvy younger brother Fisher (Mitchell Berg), the friends are able to connect with people looking for help with odd and unusual jobs, while Munchy’s bossy older brother Jaget (Jacques Chevelle) makes sure they keep up with the payments. 

Side Hustle currently ranks as the number two live-action program on cable with Kids 6-11, only behind Danger Force, year to date.

Side Hustle is created by Dave Malkoff (Henry Danger, Sam & Cat, Victorious), who also serves as executive producer and showrunner alongside John Beck & Ron Hart (Fuller House, Liv and Maddie). Production of Side Hustle for Nickelodeon is overseen by Zack Olin and Shauna Phelan, Co-Heads of Nickelodeon & Awesomeness Live-Action. Omar Camacho serves as Nickelodeon’s Executive in Charge of Production for the series.

Nickelodeon Epically Assembles Three Generations of 'Blue's Clues' Hosts to Celebrate Series' Landmark 25th Anniversary

NICKELODEON EPICALLY ASSEMBLES THREE GENERATIONS OF BLUE'S CLUES HOSTS TO CELEBRATE SERIES' LANDMARK 25TH ANNIVERSARY

Share it: @Nickelodeon @nickjr #BluesClues25


Nickelodeon is commemorating 25 years of its groundbreaking animated series Blue's Clues, which launched Sept. 8, 1996, with a one-of-a-kind nostalgic music video titled "You Can't Spell Blue without YOU," featuring Blue's Clues & You! star Josh Dela Cruz and former Blue's Clues hosts, Donovan Patton and Steve Burns, alongside real-life fans from various generations who grew up watching the series. Available to view on Nickelodeon and the Nick Jr. channel and across Nick Jr.'s social media platforms, the music video was directed by Steve Burns.


In "You Can't Spell Blue without YOU," Blue and the Blue's Clues hosts acknowledge the generations of fans throughout the years through song. The video features a series of images and art from past and present viewers as well as fans all grown up holding up photos of themselves as little kids.

With critical praise from educators, parents, and preschoolers, Blue's Clues has generated an enormous global fanbase over the years in over 160 countries and more than 20 languages. Blue's Clues drew acclaim and high ratings for its unique interactivity that helped change the way kids watch television and has remained one of the most popular preschool shows of all time. The landmark series also raised the bar in preschool television by exploring advanced subject matter such as sign language, geography, physics, emotions, and anatomy. The show is the recipient of numerous awards including Peabody Awards, Parents Choice Awards, Television Critics Association Awards and Prix Jeunesse.

The legacy and lasting impact of the series continues with the remake of Blue's Clues & You! in 2019, which has a new generation of preschoolers searching for clues with beloved puppy Blue and new live-action host Josh (Josh Dela Cruz). The series features new CG-animation for Blue and Magenta, brand-new elements and refreshed iconic items from the original series including an updated Handy Dandy Notebook equipped with smartphone technology and the return of fan-favorite characters. Blue's Clues & You!, produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio in Burbank, Calif., was recently picked up for a fourth season and nominated for two Daytime Emmy Awards. Currently in its second season, the show airs weekdays at 11 a.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon.

Original ‘Blues Clues’ Host Steve Burns Returns to Address Abrupt Exit: ‘I Never Forgot You’ (Video)

”We started out with clues and now it’s, what, student loans?“ he says on the beloved Nickelodeon show’s 25th anniversary


Nickelodeon reunited all three Blue’s Clues hosts in celebration of the beloved kids show’s 25th anniversary, and a video message from original host Steve Burns has the show’s original generation of fans feeling emotional.

In the video, Burns wore the striped green shirt that was his character Steve’s trademark look on the show and reflected on the things he’s accomplished in the years since his time on Blue’s Clues. He also addressed his “abrupt” exit that left fans reeling nearly two decades ago.


Using his gentle, friendly “Steve” voice, he asks if we remember when “one day, I was like, ‘Oh hey, guess what? Big news, I’m leaving’… and we didn’t see each other for a really long time? Can we just talk about that?”

Burns acknowledges that his departure was “kind of abrupt,” but he got to go to college, and “now I am literally doing many of the things that I wanted to do.” He also marvels at how far his viewers have come in the years since he last saw them: They started out with clues, and now they have “student loans and jobs and families, and some of it has been kind of hard, right?” But “I really couldn’t have done all that without your help,” he says, adding “I guess I just wanted to say that after all these years I never forgot you,” Burns said. “Ever.”

Burns hosted the show from its premiere in 1996 until his departure in 2002, which was explained by his character leaving for college. He was replaced by Donovan Patton as Steve’s younger brother Joe. Joshua Dela Cruz hosts the current iteration of the series on Nick Jr., Blue’s Clues and You!

The three hosts last came together in 2019 for the premiere episode of Blue’s Clues and You!

The original Blue’s Clues series launched on Sept. 8, 1996 and ran for six seasons. Created by Traci Paige Johnson, Todd Kessler and Angela C. Santomero, Blue’s Clues earned nine Emmy nominations and has remained one of the most popular preschool shows of all time.

Nickelodeon’s 25th anniversary celebration includes a feature-length Blue’s Clues & You! movie, a birthday-themed TV special set to air Sept. 17, an original music video directed by Burns featuring all three hosts and a partnership with the nonprofit organization Save the Children. You can read more about Nick's #BluesClues25 celebrations here.
 
You can catch new episodes of Blue’s Clues & You on Nickelodeon, and you can find the classic Blue’s Clues on Paramount+ and Noggin. Parents and caregivers can try Paramount+ for FREE at ParamountPlus.com.

Steve From Blue's Clues Has a Message For You! 💙 | NickRewind #Shorts


If you can get through this video without tearing up... you're lying.  In celebration of the Blue's Clues 25th Anniversary, our old pal Steve has dropped by with a message for all of the kids (now adults!) that grew up with him solving Blue's Clues and Skidoo-ing all over!

 “You remember how when we were younger, we used to run around and hang out with Blue and find clues and talk to Mr. Salt and freak out about the mail and do all the fun stuff?” Burns says in the video. “And then one day, I was like, ‘Oh hey, guess what? Big news, I’m leaving. Here’s my brother Joe, he’s your new best friend,’ and then I got on a bus and I left and we didn’t see each other for like a really long time? Can we just talk about that? Because I realize that was kind of abrupt.”

“I just kind of got up and went to college,” Burns continues. “And that was really challenging by the way, but great because I got to use my mind and take a step at a time and now I literally am doing many of the things that I wanted to do.” (A nice reference to the song Burns sang during every episode.)

After explaining his decision to leave, Burns then directs his attention to the people who used to watch him ... like him, now much older (Burns is 47, although he doesn’t look much older than when he hosted).

“And then look at you, and look at all you have done, and all you have accomplished in all that time. And it’s just, it’s just so amazing, right?” Burns says. “I mean, we started out with clues and now, it’s what? Student loans and jobs and families? And some of it has been kind of hard, you know? I know you know.

“I wanted to tell you that I really couldn’t have done all of that without your help. And in fact, all the help that you helped me with when we were younger is still helping me today, right now. And that’s super cool. I guess I just wanted to say that after all these years, I never forgot you. Ever. And I’m super glad we’re still friends.”

As a walkoff, Burns offers a compliment to those watching.

“You look great by the way. Whatever it is you’re doing, it’s working.”

The original real reason Steve gave from leaving is because he was going bald. Earlier this year it finally came out that a major motivator for Burns to leave the show was due to an interest in pursuing a music career (with Flaming Lips producer David Fridmann and drummer Steve Drozd​​).

It is the latest agreement between a ViacomCBS company and Netflix. Last year, Nickelodeon and Netflix struck an output deal that will yield original animated feature films and TV series based on existing Nickelodeon library characters as well as newly created ones. Prior to the agreement, Netflix ordered forthcoming specials based on The Loud House (premiering August 20) and Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The deal builds on a relationship that has brought animated specials Rocko’s Modern Life: Static ClingInvader Zim: Enter the Florpus and Glitch Techs to Netflix. Netflix is also producing a live-action version of Nickelodeon's beloved animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Prior to Netflix ordering Sharkdog, Nickelodeon International announced in 2017 that it had greenlit a series of 90-second shorts based on the characters, which premiered as a short-form digital series for the Nickelodeon Play App in Asia.

Sharkdog was the first Singaporean series to come out of Nickelodeon's Global Animated Shorts Program. But it’s in good company, as several animated shorts from Nick’s program have turned into full fledged series recently. This includes Toronto-based prodco Nelvana’s 26 x 22-minute animated series Ollie’s Pack, which began as an original short dubbed Monster Pack for Nickelodeon’s 2013 Animated Shorts Program; The Loud House, also from the 2013 Animated Shorts Program; and It’s Pony, which was part of Nick’s 2015 Global Animated shorts program.

Young Carmel actor gets voice role in ‘Sharkdog’


Liam Mitchell performs in a TV series in the comfort of his Carmel home.

Mitchell plays the boy, Max, who finds “Sharkdog,” a half dog, half shark, in an animated series of shorts produced by Nickelodeon. It debuts Sept. 3 on Netflix.

Mitchell, who is in the seventh grade at St. Louis de Montfort in Fishers, was cast in the series after participating in a summer camp in Ohio in 2019.

The camp was hosted by Greg James, who has many connections in the talent industry in Los Angeles.

“At the end of the camp, he flies out managers, casting directors and agents from Los Angeles,” Mitchell said. “The kids put on a showcase, and after the showcase the managers, agents and directors may offer to sign you. I had several offers at the end but ended up selecting The Savage Agency and Heyman Talent.”

Mitchell is represented by the Savage Agency in Los Angles for his role in “Sharkdog.” The agent sends Mitchell auditions, which he does by tape. He was offered the role on ‘Sharkdog’ in November 2020 and started working on it shortly thereafter.

“Nickelodeon sends me everything I need to record,” Mitchell said. “My dad built a recording studio in a closet in our basement. I work once a week for about 2 to 3 hours. I get on a Zoom with the sound team in L.A. and I record my lines with them.”

Mitchell has recorded 20 or 21 episodes for the first season, plus a Halloween special. He is working on Season 2 now.

“I love that Max is kind of really like me,” Mitchell said. “He has a love for animals and seems to always be getting himself out of tricky situations. Not only will kids love the show, adults will, too. They are 7-minute shorts so they can captivate the attention of the littlest viewers, but the adventures that Max and Sharkdog have are fun for adults, too.”

From WTHR:

Carmel voice actor lands leading role in Netflix animated series


The first season of "Sharkdog" is now streaming on Netflix.

CARMEL, Ind. — Carmel seventh-grader Liam Mitchell landed his first big role late last year in the new Netflix series "Sharkdog."

He plays Max, the owner of a half-dog, half-shark pet.

"I use Max as my own self. I just up the energy, and Max is me," Liam said.

Liam has always been an actor and landed an agent in Los Angeles after attending an acting camp. From there, he landed a lead role on "Sharkdog."

"I was just super excited. I didn't really know what to expect. I had never done something this large," Liam said.

"You submit so many opportunities, and you're looking for one to land. Sometimes, the one you don't expect to land lands, which is what happened here. It's much more impactful," said Liam's father, Will.

Liam isn't recording from a flashy studio in Los Angeles — his voice work in the Netflix series is done from a tiny closet in the basement of his Carmel home.

Although it's tight, it gets the job done. Now, Liam is reaching audiences everywhere.

Carmel seventh-grader Liam Mitchell records voiceover work in a tiny closet in the basement of his home.

"It didn't really sink in until I saw the trailer," Liam said. "Once I saw the trailer, I was just in awe. Like, that's me? That's who I am? And once I saw the cast list had my name, I was just completely in awe."

"To have something that is as mainstream as this, with Netflix and Nickelodeon collaborating, for him to get that opportunity, I think we were blown away," Will said. "We expected stuff much more localized initially, but to get this opportunity has been a God-given gift."

The first season of "Sharkdog" is now streaming on Netflix.
