HOWDY Y'ALL. The worst of the year is here and my entire soul hurts. What are some other terrible games I missed this year? Lemme know.

About Nick All-Stars, Nick themselves is holding the game back. Stuff like alternate costumes came in very late just because Ludosity had to get the approval for each costume and Nick is super picky about it. Heck, the lead developer praised MultiVersus' reveal while throwing shade to Nick on his tweets.

I kinda feel bad for Nick All Stars devs. From what I have read, they actually wanted to add more stuff to the game, as well as giving them unique dialogues, but couldn't because of restrictions given by Nickelodeon. Plus, they wanted to price the game at $20 but Gamemill decided to price it at $50 instead.

I still hope the game manages to catch its footing soon. Power Rangers Battle for the Grid shows that making a major comeback is possible.

Would actually like to see Austin make a video on the worst and best games of 2001

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl makes me really sad, since it seems like the devs really care and that if the game had been given more dev time it could have been amazing. They are still updating the game, and next year they're adding cross-play and soft-confirmed that they're voice acting. But the damage is done and so few people care anymore, pretty much the only thing keeping the game alive is Hungrybox.

3:10 My biggest fear about the future of gaming is that all of the hilarious anime booba games have become predatory mobile gacha games instead, sort of like how tie-in movie adaptation shovelware games largely died alongside the Wii when companies realized they could spend less and make more money with phone games instead. Truly, when the PS Vita died and smartphone app sales rose past console games in Japan it was an end of an era

I actually feel exactly the same way about Mario Golf and I am so glad I'm not alone with my disapointment.

I can understand that Nick Brawl being disappointing, as a lot of the missing crap was because Nick/Viacom put a bunch of red red tape. So it's only a bit of gamemil fault. However, from what I heard Crossplay and Voice acting in 2022 plus more content, so even with Multiversus coming don't count NASB out just yet

[pac-man-world-]

They *just* (unofficially, mind you) announced that voice acting is coming to NASB, so you've got that to look forward to.

The devs (especially the main one, Thaddeus) have been pretty open about how they *wanted* to do some of the things you had complaints with, but the game was rushed out the door and some of those requests Nickeoldeon straight up refused. They didn't let them use unique dialogue, get VA work, get unique costumes until now, etc.

Honestly, it doesn't even seem to be fully GameMill's fault. The fault lies solely on Nickelodeon themselves. They still take some blame, but Nickelodeon definitely seems to be picky.

[edgyzackyt-edgelordzackari]

I saw Melee fanboys saying that Nick All Star Brawl was going to be the quote, "Smash Ultimate killer". Than when it was released and people were harshly criticize the game those same people where like, "it was made by an indie studio! Don't criticize it too much!"

[Robedpillow]

Here before the inevitable title change lmao

[joshua]

Popeye eating spinach to enhance his strength to absurd levels is part of his character, but I wouldn't blame you for not knowing that. It's safe to say that the character has fallen hard into obscurity.

[Csynister]

Well.. now I just want a list of worst games for 2001. Time me back in time, Austin!

[hirobeez]

I've heard some rumors about GTA having those issues partly because it was not supposed to even be in the radar yet, but since Rockstar didn't have anything else to release this year they decided it would be a good idea to throw this remaster under the bus to cash-in... Probably not realizing how far behind the studio responsible actually was to get the game up to par - or even just deciding cashing in the hype was worth making the team work overtime to fix a launched title.

[KremBotop]

Somehow, Austin saying “Jocolby Fitzpatrick” during the Patreon calls remains as one of the major things I look forward to seeing in his videos. That name is just so fascinating and unique...

[otaking]

18:45 Those are actually characters made using a software known as Comipo, aka Manga Maker (as the rights got bought by the same publisher as RPG Maker and Game Maker). I used it nearly a decade ago on my family's old computer, and even made a manga version of Huckleberry Finn for a high school English assignment.

[abdelali]

Still waiting for Mario Strikers 3, but with the current gaming scape, I think it would be like they say, "careful what you wish for".

[SomeBlokeOrWhatever]

Here in time for the typo on the title saying 2001

[uchillama]

You quite literally have the same problems I also had with SuperRush it’s insane lol. I also thought a lot of the course design in SuperRush was very bland and forgettable compared to World Tour

[ectofriend]

Damn bro, Nick wasn't that bad. I still enjoy playing it with my friends. We were all big fans of Slap City. Its janky Smash Bros and sometimes that's more fun.
