Nickelodeon Kart Racers announced for consoles

GameMill Entertainment announced today that they are collaborating with Nickelodeon to develop Nickelodeon Kart Racers for consoles. The news comes from an official press release from the company. This new racing game is a multiplayer kart racer in the style of Mario Kart or Sonic All-Stars Racing. It will contain licensed characters from everybody's favourite Nickelodeon TV shows. This includes characters from Spongebob Squarepants, Hey Arnold!, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Rugrats. The developers also state there will be 24 themed tracks and customisation options for karts. While GameMill Entertainment, developers of the notorious Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing, aren't proven developers, the prospect of multiple licensed Nickelodeon characters in one game is enough to draw some attention.
