So yesterday Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl received an update that brings voice acting to every character in the game and both Jim Cummings and Tom Kenny returned to voice CatDog, but as many people have noticed already, Dog's voice sounds different, deeper than usual. Unfortunately I don't own the game yet, but if you wanna listen to it you can in this video (which also includes Cat's lines): https://youtu.be/Lt_IZES3We4?t=182
What do you think about Dog's new voice?
I know it's only been a day but my initial thoughts are that I personally prefer Dog's original voice, this new one sounds noticeably different, it does sound like Dog's but if it was deeper, and it feels weird because Tom Kenny also voices Sponge Bob in this game and that already sounded a lot like Dog's original voice, so why would they change it? Some say that it might be because they didn't want two similar-sounding characters, but I feel like that alone isn't a good enough reason.
Still, Im very glad that they are in the game and that they got voices, and Cat still sounds like he did in the show, the developers gave them a lot of personality in their animations, I love all the references that they included in their movesets, and their switch mechanic fits them excellent, this definitely doesn't ruin them as characters in the game for me or anything like that. Hopfully I'll get the game soon because I really do like how they were represented overall, maybe I'll grow to like Dog's new voice then, but right now I am a little bit baffled.
