Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is getting some new characters, and they include Jenny from My Life as a Teenage Robot, Hugh Neutron from Jimmy Neutron, and Rocko from Rocko’s Modern Life.
These characters will be paid DLC, with Jenny being available now. The new trailer shows Jenny facing off against other characters in the game like Reptar, Nigel Thornberry, Garfield, and Danny Phantom.
At the end of the trailer, Hugh Neutron is introduced while riding on his motorcycle. Players will be able to send opponents to the Shadow Realm with Hugh when he arrives in the game this summer. Rocko was briefly shown and he is scheduled to join the game in the fall.
Each character will come with unique stages and costumes. In the trailer, it looks like Jenny’s stage will be based on her hometown, Tremorton. Interestingly, Hugh, Jimmy Neutron’s father, was added to the game instead of the titular character. The show’s setting, Retroville, seems to be the most likely candidate for a stage. As for Rocko, he lives in the fictional O-Town.
In Digital Trends’ Nickelodean All-Star Brawl review, we said, “Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is a wildly fun time if you’re coming to it for its competitive potential. However, your mileage may vary depending on if you’re a casual or hardcore player.”

Acer’s Predator Atlas 8 finally has a US release date and price, several months after the company first showed off the handheld in May. The highlight is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip inside, which has been adopted by only a couple of other consoles besides the Atlas 8. This version will go on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99.
Acer originally said the Atlas 8 would arrive in North America in October, but left pricing open at the time. The launch came amid the ongoing DRAM crunch, which has made memory more expensive across the PC industry and complicated pricing for hardware makers.
Gaming laptops and I have a complicated relationship. One of my first gaming rigs was an Acer Predator that was already outdated when I bought it. I was a broke college kid, and that was the best I could afford. So trying out high-end gaming laptops is always fun. But ASUS' ROG Zephyrus G14 is a lot more than a laptop that can run AAA games. It is portable, so you're not lugging around a 2.5kg machine everywhere you go. It is built well, none of that plastic chassis, and can even function as a normal laptop outside of just gaming.
Google Play is borrowing one of the Nintendo Switch’s most useful little tricks. A new Sidekick tool called Playbacks captures a short clip after something interesting has already happened, sparing players from running a screen recorder throughout an entire game.
Playbacks is part of Google Play Store v53.8 and keeps saved clips on the phone. Google first announced it earlier this month, but the new Play Store update marks its arrival for players. Anyone who has watched a perfect win vanish because the record button came too late already understands the appeal.
