Update: When someone says “soon”, we expect maybe a couple of days, but just over an hour ago, the devs announced on Twitter that Switch owners don’t need to wait much longer, and that the update is ready to download!

Also, Mark DeCarlo — the voice for the upcoming DLC fighter Hugh Neutron — revealed that he will be reprising the role of the beloved character when he arrives in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl later this year!

Original article: Nickelodeon fans are likely to be delighted by today’s announcement from Ludosity and Fair Play Labs. The developers behind Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl have dropped a brand new update for their cartoon brawler which brings in new items to the game, but most importantly, voice acting!

While we enjoyed our time with the game back when we reviewed it, the lack of voice-acting was something we pointed out. Luckily, art director Diego Hernández confirmed last December that it was on the way, and now we can finally experience it! Well, except if you’re a Switch owner, right now.

Currently, while the new patch is available on other consoles and PC, the update isn’t live on the Switch right now. So we’ll have to wait a little bit longer to experience the game as we’ve always dreamt of.

For now, we can share the confirmed cast list for the game, which features many iconic returning voices for the roster:

By unanimous request, Brawler voiceovers are here! Enjoy the quips and grunts of your favorite brawlers as you play!
