I watched the trailer and the gameplay looked like janky shit, I opted out after mild interest before seeing that.

Same publisher, but different developer. Gamemill published the Kong and all the Nicktoons games, but Kong is developed by a different developer than All-Stars.

Wrong, it's being published by the same company but the developers are the same ones who made that GI Joe game. With that said yes the Game Mills Entertainment are notorious for publishing shovelwares. The new Avatar game is proof of that lol.

Nick All Star Brawl 2 is shaping up to be a much better game than the first, but the fact that it's missing a lot of characters present in the first game is honestly kind of scummy. If they are added in as free DLC than I'm okay with it, but I bet they're going to be paid which is even worst.

That's a pretty big mistake, though. Nintendo could be a publisher, but if the developer is Single Man In Mom's Basement Industries, then... Yeah, that makes a huge difference, suddenly.

Also, people actually liked the first NASB, I believe. It was just lacking in content.

NASB was clearly intended to appeal to the hardcore melee fans who think they are way larger group than they actually are. Most people don't like that kind of game and prefer the more casual / laid back Smash sequels.

NASB got good reviews for its gameplay, but yeah the biggest drawback was its lack of content (lack of voices really really hurt the game). The devs confirmed, on their discord, that the game was in the green because it was made on such a tight budget and time constraint. I was skeptical at first, but the fact they got green lit a sequel this fast otherwise means they were being truthful.

Oh wow. You can barely see a thing because the camera angle is atrocious. There's no sense of impact so you can't tell if you are even hitting anything. Or being hit. Unless you are being grabbed, cause then you got a button prompt.

How do games this awful still get made in the modern day?

Like I have to assume it was still developed by a team of professional game developers no matter how small the budget was. Yet Ive seen hobbyist developers on YouTube produce things that, albeit usually much smaller/unfinished, that would blow this game out of the water as far as design, concept, etc.
