El Tigre from El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera has been confirmed as a new character in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2.
El Tigre is known for being a rushdown character with swift and rapid attacks. Gamers can anticipate the inclusion of additional characters from both past and present Nickelodeon cartoons to be added to the game's lineup prior to its release date next year.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 welcomes yet another beloved cartoon character, the masked hero El Tigre. In an attempt to capture the vibrant fighting experience of games like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the first Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl introduced characters and locations from the iconic animated properties of the well-loved cable channel. Though it didn't quite achieve the same level of praise as Super Smash Bros., it performed well in terms of sales, leading publisher GameMill Entertainment to announce a sequel merely two years after the original's release.
Fans will be thrilled to know that most of the original game's delightful lineup of playable fighters will be making a return in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2. Additionally, several requested cartoon favorites that were absent from the previous game will now be included. Jimmy Neutron, whose father Hugh made an appearance as a DLC character in the initial All-Star Brawl, will finally join the battle. Moreover, Plankton and Squidward will accompany SpongeBob SquarePants, while Raphel and Donatello from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise will make their long-awaited debut after being absent from the original game.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2's roster has expanded with the addition of a new character. GameMill, Ludosity, and Fair Play Labs recently unveiled that El Tigre from El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera will be joining the game. El Tigre is a rushdown character known for his lightning-fast attacks, making him one of the quickest contenders in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2. As a glass cannon, he possesses a combination of ranged and close-up combos, utilizing his razor-sharp claws to swiftly inflict damage on opponents and his extendable arms to close the gap from a distance. Fans can catch a glimpse of El Tigre in action through the official trailer posted on GameMill's YouTube channel.
El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera is a lesser-known Nickelodeon original show that aired for a single 26-episode season from 2007 to 2008. Despite its limited run, the morally conflicted young hero was teased as a playable character in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 even prior to the game's official announcement, with show creator Jorge R. Gutierrez dropping hints about his inclusion. A leaked screenshot later revealed El Tigre engaging in combat against fellow feline fighter, Garfield.
El Tigre has officially joined the diverse line-up of beloved cable cartoon characters in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2. Although not widely known, his inclusion is a delightful surprise for fans who grew up watching The Adventures of Manny Rivera. With his agile fighting style, El Tigre is sure to be a favorite among players who prefer speed over raw power. It is worth noting that the game is scheduled for release next year, so there is a possibility of more characters from past and present Nick cartoons being added to the roster.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 is currently being developed for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
