Update [Fri 3rd Dec, 2021 02:30 GMT]: A new trailer presented by IGN has given fans a first look. Although these new costumes are available now on other platforms, Switch players will have to wait just a little bit longer than the rest:
Original story [Sun 21st Nov, 2021 03:30 GMT]: If you're still playing the multiplayer platform fighter Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl on the Nintendo Switch, you'll be pleased to hear some new free content is on the way. The game's official Twitter account has announced alternate costumes will be coming "very soon" to the game, and once again it'll be an entirely free update. Below is the first look at SpongeBob's alt outfit:
More will be revealed over time on Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl's official website. This update follows on from the reveal of the new Warner Bros. free-to-play brawler known as MultiVersus. Unfortunately, it appears to be skipping Nintendo Switch.
If you would like to learn more about Nickelodeon's brawler, then read our review - we said it was a solid platform fighter with plenty of hidden depth, and awarded it seven out of ten stars. Will you be checking out these free costumes when they arrive in-game? Leave a comment down below.

That hat makes him look like a girl.
Gotta hand it to them with the references. They're knocking them out of the park.
Shame about the rest of the game though. A clunky and silent mess.
@JoeSooper It’s from an episode where Mr Krabs fights the undead.
Interesting timing. I wonder if this is in response to WB MultiVerses.
"He was Number one!"
The real cross-over everyone wants is gonna be a death match between all the failed Smash clones.
@JoeSooper "Am I a pretty girl?"
Can't wait to see the alts finished - hopefully there's more than 1 per fighter!
@JoeSooper funfact I thought that spongebob was a girl for a while. I was a stupid kid.😅
@nessisonett That's what he was quoting. You may need to rewatch the episode.
Fire dogs den and stimpy or bust
@Noid @JoeSooper You know they wouldn't be able to get by with that joke today, the way the mailman looks at them in disgust when Mr. Krabs says, "Oh, well uh...you're beautiful." I'm almost surprised that episode isn't banned on Paramount+, the same way they banned the "panty raid" episode.
I hope SpongeBob also gets The Quickster costume.
I just picked this game up on sale today and it's a solid-ish game so far! Gameplay wise it will never be my first choice over, say, SSBU or Rivals of Aether, but it's neat!
Glad to see they're dedicated to adding content to the game, although I sort of wish they would have delayed the launch in order to include it all at once.
@Not_Soos Of course! 😂
@TyroKith wouldn’t be hard to imagine. Multiverse definitely threw some shots and flexed at the Nick game
@Arawn93 from looking at thaddeus' twitter he seems super supportive and impressed with it, the only person he threw shade at was nick themselves for nott providing a big enough budget
Spongebob's marching band outfit will make a great addition. I would even mod the audio files so Sweet Victory plays every time he wins.
While that game is not that good, many people didn't like it, it has potential.
This game needs updates, a lot of them, and it could have a sequel or a DLC deluxe edition.
The good: They are still investing in this game.
The bad: Another thing they should have added since launch.
The "Smash Ultimate" dev team should have done this for that game....
@JoeSooper Is he a pretty girl?
Voices should be next. I'd glad pay an extra $5 for a VO DLC pak
Most of research are pretty forgettable and are literally just a hat. Not sure it's gonna make that much of a difference in keeping players from getting confused about their player. Some of these are pretty cool though, like Zim's human disguise and Toph's armor from the Day of Black Sun.
@victordamazio The problem is the price, yeah sure its less than ultimate but ultimate is just such a better game and the games obviously get compared a lot
"Wait, don't be fooled! It's still the same moderate platform fighter with stupid cheap hats! It still has the same lack of polish it did before!"
"...But they got new hats."
Loose Simpson reference aside, it is nice to see that this game is still getting support. While it's a shame all this didn't just come at launch, I don't think I'd mind if updates and support kept coming to a point that maybe they'd pack it all into a "Deluxe Edition" way down the line.
@JoeSooper what's wrong with looking like a girl?
@Bizzyb
I'm not sure if it will be possible for Nigel Thornberry. Tim Curry had a stroke a few years ago.
Fighter 1 throws punch.
Fighter 2: “...”
Fighter 2 throws punch.
Fighter 1: “...”
I'm anxiously awaiting for this game to be worth my time. It's gonna need voices at the very least.
@RadioHedgeFund Why don't you ask Mr. Krabs?
It was his hat, Mr. Krabs! He was Number 1!
I know the white turtles are a reference to the black-and-white comics but it just looks like bone - like mutant Dry-Bones.
Wow..... One whole Alt Costume, that's gotta be impressive.....
Look, I know it's unfair to compare Smash to this game, but they are acting like giving an Alt Costume is a major deal when many games include Alt colors and Costumes for free.
Did you know Mario game with his Builder and Wedding Suit Alts in Ultimate!? And you don't even have to download anything!
I don't know if Nickelodeon is behind the lack of alt colors, but I find it funny that they are treating Alt Costumes and Colors as some kind of groundbreaking special feature.
No, it's been a special feature of fighting games since Street Fighter II: Championship Edition introduced Mirror Matches.
Some of these fighters in this trailer got nothing but alt colors.
What's the big deal? I can fire up Dragon Ball Fighter Z and have tons of color choices for Goku alone.
I honestly laugh at this game as he falls apart from the hype everyone gave it.
This is the Smash Killer? The savior who will put big bad Nintendo in their place in the Platform Fighter genre?
Well, they still have that item update coming up... You know, the one that adds items to the game?
Oh no, how will Smash ever compete with that?..
@Caryslan Not only that but the WB Universus already showed that every character basically has 3 alts out of the gate...with more on the way.
Kinda goes to show just how low budgeted Nickelodeon was...guess they learned nothing from Playstation All Star's low budget issues
Well, I hope this game sells well enough to convince Nickelodeon that this type of game is worth investing in, and that they actually listen to fan feedback and make improvements.
I'd like to see a sequel in a few years, one with a bigger budget that addresses the flaws with this game.
