The dark comic duo of Ren and Stimpy are set to join Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl

There have even been leaks and rumors suggesting that more are coming ahead of the game's launch on October 5 later this year.

Ludosity definitely has its work cut out for itself as it will undoubtedly struggle to shrug off the Smash-like monicker. However, unlike Nintendo's platform brawler, Ludosity is more focused on Nickelodeon franchises. This affords it an arguably wider target audience that grew up watching cable TV years ago. The best part is that it's not all about evoking nostalgia either. The roster also has several more recent characters such as The Loud House's Lincoln and Lucy Loud, among others.

With that said, the true power of Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl will lie in how it handles its fan service. Nintendo already paved the way for other platform brawlers. All Ludosity has to do now is to make sure that it does extra characters right. Ideally, the studio will include a handful of hidden and unlockable characters as opposed to locking them behind a paywall as paid DLC content.

Here's hoping that this is indeed the case because we're sure the inner 90s' kids of thousands of gamers around the globe are screaming in excitement right now.
