Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 seeing slight delay, physical release is a download code

GameMill has shared the latest on Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, including news about a delay and the physical version – or lack thereof.

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 was previously announced for a November launch. That’s still the case – sort of. It’ll launch digitally on November 7 while the retail version arrives on December 1. Patrick’s Elastic Waistband costume will be available to all digital purchases made between November 7 and November 14.

In other news, GameMill has confirmed to Nintendo Everything that the Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 Switch physical release will be a download code. Fans started to speculate that would be the case after an updated version of the boxart – pictured above – included a label stating that a cartridge is not included. We did not receive an explanation as to why there won’t be a true physical release.
