Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 continues to release more character spotlights for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IP ahead of launch, today revealing a new trailer for Donatello.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 is slated to launch later this year, but still doesn’t have a concrete release date. While rumors recently hinted at an October release, some stores have a release date for November 14th, as seen on Amazon’s current product page for the game.
It’s possible the devs will avoid a busy month, which has been a primary reason for various delays, such as the newly delayed Alone in the Dark reimagining from Pieces Interactive.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 will be available on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and Xbox. You can watch today’s Donatello spotlight on publisher GameMill Entertainment’s YouTube channel:
Donatello has always been one of the more recognizable turtles, thanks to their affinity for gadgets, so they’re a welcome addition to the sequel. The roster is already far superior to its predecessor, adding some obligatory characters that were somehow omitted the first time around.
It’s important for Donatello to distinguish himself from Jimmy Neutron in particular, whose character spotlight also featured a lot of tech. Fortunately, the devs smartly captured the personality and ninja aspects of Donatello.
Their smoke bomb teleportation makes a very big impression. This side special will be equally helpful in closing the distance or bailing players out of a sudden fall. Although the smoke is obvious as it lingers, this will also make it easy to bluff the enemy, since players can freely cancel it at will.
The “electro grenade” feels a lot more expected for Donatello. It could have been rather dull, but players can juggle the grenade around with Donatello’s own weapons, making it very unpredictable. Skilled players will enjoy its flashy potential.
But it could easily become a defensive move, since today’s trailer explained that Donatello will be quite slow compared to the other turtles. Overall, Donatello’s abilities do make him distinct across the roster, too.
