Nickelodeon is leaning hard into nostalgia with a flurry of 1990s cartoon revivals and returns. The cable network is now expanding that strat to include video games, with a Nicktoons-centric kart racing game heading to consoles on Oct. 23.
Nickelodeon Kart Racers, developed by GameMill Entertainment for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, will include characters from 12 different series. We’re led to believe by its screenshots that the roster will stretch back to the golden days of Nicktoons — Hey Arnold! is represented, as is Rugrats. Some racers come from SpongeBob Squarepants, because obviously. But the other cartoon that GameMill has confirmed is not one most of us ex-kids associate with Nick. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles make up four members of the roster, their look based on designs from Nick’s reboot of the old-school fave.
