Really though a lot of you are naming things that are not cartoons. They're not going to put actual people into the game. Mike O'Malley, Pete, Pete and Summer Sanders aren't going to be playable characters.
Game show hosts and live action characters would be boring, though I could see a thing where you use Miis or Xbox avatars as a game show contestant. Game shows were always a staple of Nickelodeon, they really should be represented somehow.
Come to think of it, the only live action Nickelodeon character eccentric enough to fit in would be Artie, the strongest MAN, in the wooooooooooorld.
I don't think Nickelodeon will bother even coming close to the legal minefield that is Kablam and any show that came out of it.
I don't know the full details as I'm more of a CN guy but the way I've heard the contract for Kablam works is that (In a very weird and unusual good faith gesture from Nick) every segment creator got to keep their copyright and Nickelodeon needs their authorized consent in order to do anything.
This is all well and good, however one of the producers of segments in Kablam decided to poison the well and sell all their rights to their segment, which caused Nick to re-evaluate their internal practices and never have to do anything with Kablam again as they cannot release the series without the consent of the current rights holder of the segment that was sold. So, which segment was it?
Angela Anaconda
I am not kidding, she ruinned Digimon, a marriage AND Kablam, previously she was owned by Fox and is now owned by Disney.
This is why lesbians shouldn't be allowed to have control over anything.

Moira Quirk was the referee in the Nickelodeon gameshow GUTS, she later voiced a character in a horror video game by Capcom.
I like Avatar: The Last Airbender, but I know what you mean about it not really being a good fit for Nick, Nick did indeed lose their identity after they canceled Zim.
I thought I was the only who remembered Stick Stickly.
Jorgen Von Strangle and The Crimson Chin would make sense, but I also wouldn't be opposed to having Cosmo and Wanda in some sort of duo character like Ice Climbers in Smash.
Characters I'm hoping make it into the game:
-Splinter
-Shredder
-Daggett and Norbert Beaver
-Rocko
-Heffer
-Mr. Krabs
-Plankton (he could ride around in a mech suit to be closer in size to the other characters)
Never going to happen, but I would love to see these guys in the game in some form:
Anybody else 'member Catscratch? I 'member Catscratch...
That said, the character at the top of my list, the one I want to see make it into the game more than any other character:
If they're going to get anything R.L Stine based it would probably be Goosebumps first before Eureka. But IIRC the rights to both series are split because Eureka's Castle often used clips from other shows and Goosebumps has a bunch of different companies with assorted rights to the series.
I can honestly say I would have never called 80's April O'Neil. That's a wild pick. I am surprised they didn't go with a Nick original and pick a 2012 or Rise incarnation though since I don't think the 80's version ever actually aired on Nick.

April is right on the cover, she's to the lower right under the title.
And it's not all that surprising, the cartoon rendition was the most widespread one. The Mirage Comics and the more modern representations are not that well known.
IIRC Viacom/CBS/Paramount own everything Turtles related, Turtles did air on CBS.
Now a real nitche pick would be something like Beakman's World.

I genuinely feel as if adding non-Nicktoon characters in a stylised way would be pretty cool too. Imagine iCarly or The Amanda Show characters in 3D model form beating the shit out of Spongebob, Zim and Nigel Thornberry.
