No voice acting

[Timmy]

Why did the developers even bother making this game when they won’t add any voice acting whatsoever for the characters? Part of the appeal of games like Smash Bros is that the characters really come to life because they have voice acting. This game should be delayed until it’s feature complete.

I think voice acting for such game can be difficult.

As we well know, most of the cartoons from which the characters in All-Star brawl are originating from older cartoons. The voice actors got older, so they wouldn't be able to voice their characters again because their appearance and age didn't change.

Here, for example, Aang could not get his original voice here in this game because his actor is in his 20s. Using other voice actors for the characters would be a way out, but for many it wouldn't feel good, so the developers probably did as they did to avoid disappointment.

Voice acting isn't cheap. I doubt they had the budget to pay all the voice actors. I highly doubt the actors would just do it for free.

The game still looks amazing and should be fine without voice acting, in my view.

i'm sure people will take clips from shows and mod in voices

But in the real world, developing a game costs a lot of time and money, especially when it comes to copyrighted material.

Exactly. I wish people would look into costs of game development before just spouting nonsense.

Nickelodeon has enough money to fund voice acting in 20 languages if they finally started giving a damn about their games, which they unfortunately don’t because their greedy and cheap as hell.

Nickelodeon has enough money to pay for that tenfold, but since they clearly don’t give enough of a damn about this game that’s gonna be reflected in the final product, just like with their previous racing games. They’ll never learn because they refuse to learn from their past mistakes.

It doesn't have to be original voice actors its not like most of them are even alive by this time. Probably retired.

Many voice actors exist that can easily replicate voices as closer as possible.

Not having at least some VA makes it feel extremely cheap.

I'll buy the game if it still has players on a sale.

That’s subjective but whatever. At least that game has voice acting unlike this one. Being greedy ain’t a good look for Nickelodeon.

I get they're on a budget, but its 2021, not 1994. At least get some sound alikes, or pay Billy West to do most of the voices.

Five voice clips per character would be plenty: One when you get a KO, one when you combo to a certain number, a couple that randomly play for any of the special moves, and a victory screen phrase.

Bruh they can clip voices from any episode of the character's respective shows. I could amass a handful of spongebob sound clips that would be appropriate for the game in like an hour's time.

Aw. Shame. Especially since Helga Pataki can still do her voice.

Spongebob really only needs his laugh and mayber "I'm Ready".
Patrick only needs is distressed yell.
