This one's a bit of an odd thread, but bear with me. This actually looks like it'll be great.

THQ Nordic announced today that the classic SpongeBob game Battle for Bikini Bottom will be getting a remaster for the PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and (most notably) the PC!

Originally released in 2003, SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom was a platformer based on the show that released for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube. Quoting straight from the video's description:

Are you ready, kids? The cult classic is back, faithfully remade in spongetastic splendor! Play as SpongeBob, Patrick and Sandy and show the evil Plankton that crime pays even less than Mr. Krabs. Want to save Bikini Bottom from lots of rampant robots? Of course you do! Want to underpants bungee jump? Why wouldn't you! Want to join forces in a brand new multiplayer mode? The battle is on!

The description also hints at a new multiplayer mode. Which is, to say, this game might have online (or maybe even local) co-op play, which might be really cool if it's done right.

 

Now, admittedly, a lot of you won't care. It's a licensed platformer that came out in the 6th generation that, really, American kids who grew up with those consoles will end up remembering. But it's got quite a cult following, enough to the point where it's getting remade.

By the way, this game isn't being developed by Heavy Iron; it's being developed by Purple Lamp Studios.

THQ Nordic also has some more reveals of other games coming very soon, if you're interested in that.

 

Personally, I'm truly hyped for this and I hope it turns out to be true to the original game. It'll be very interesting, especially, to see how the PC version will turn out. What do you guys think?

No!!! Creature of the Krusty Krab was more my thing!

But I have never actually played this one, might get it for Switch tbh.


EDIT: looking at gameplay for both of the games, Battle for Bikini bottom prooobably was the better game of the two and I am glad that one is getting a remake.

LOUD, JARRING NOOOOOOOOISE

 

Oh wait wrong th thing

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

One of my favorite games from the PS2, cautiously excited to see what this remake is going to be like and how good it will be compared to the original.
