GameMill Entertainment has revealed that Ren and Stimpy will be joining the fight in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl when it launches later this year.

The dog and cat duo will work together as a single playable character in the Smash Bros-inspired platform fighting game, akin to Banjo & Kazooie or Duck Hunt Duo.

“They have a knack for using each other as weapons, which really helps the slapstick comedy of the show come to life,” explains game designer Matias R Singer. In the game, Ren hitches a ride on Stimpy's shoulders, which makes them a bit slower than other characters. However, they make up for it by being able to attack in multiple directions. They also have attacks which hit twice, with Ren dealing fast-but-low damage, followed by a stronger but later attack from Stimpy.

“Ren & Stimpy are definitely on the classic side of the character spectrum. I’m a 90’s kid and I absolutely loved The Ren & Stimpy Show growing up,” says project manager Joel Nystrom. “They were so refreshingly dirty and disturbed compared to everything else at the time. I loved and continue to love them to bits.”

“I think everyone involved with the game wanted Ren & Stimpy so their inclusion was a no-brainer.”

Ren and Stimpy join the likes of TMNT's April O'Neal and CatDog in the cartoon fighting game roster, and it seems like there's still more characters yet to be announced.

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is launching on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch in Autumn 2021.
