THQNordic Announces Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated - Nautical nonsense, now in HD

[The Last Stand]

Play the video at 0:13, it's the original box art for the game. Nice.

 

[ASoulMan]

This announcement came out of left field and I am very happy for that.

Only in the eyes of cartoon spergs.

Out of curiousity, how do you center the camera in the GC version? Like is the a pseudo over the shoulder option like in Vice City or some of the N64 platformers?

 

[Duncan Hills Coffee]

Battle for Bikini Bottom is still a remarkably fun game, and I will be getting this remaster. I like that they're adding in content that was cut from the original. That's something I really wish more remakes would do. The cut final boss stage for example would have been so cool, and it sucks since most of the content was mostly complete but just never implemented.

Classic SpongeBob is still one of the best animated shows ever made, along with Ed, Edd, n Eddy. I might check this out since I hear good things about it.

THQ Nordic needs to do this more to piss off the woke cartoonfags. I'd buy it.

I been wanting to play this game and that EEE game for the Gamecube. I might have to try the Switch version if its turns out better than the original one.

I am kind of stoke for this to happen as I would love to have a remaster/remake/sequel of Simpson's Hit and Run.

 

[Billy_Mays_SixPack]

I played it alot on the OG Xbox it is quite a well made collect athon game. This was not even on my mind that they could remake. Now if they can remake Simpsons Hit and Run ill be a happy camper.

I have never watched Spongebob in any real capacity and as a result don't really care much about this on its own. But I do find it cool to see a remake/remaster of a licensed game considering how rarely they happen, and it does sound like it's in good hands.

Wonder if the game will be dedicated to Hillenburg’s memory

EEE Mis-Ed-Ventures is okay, but pretty solid for a licenced game. The characters were NOT meant to be seen in 3D though, they look horrible. That was probably unavoidable though.

 

[PsychoNerd054]

I remember playing this when I was about 10 years old. It was only a matter of time until they decided to revamp this game.

 

[RomanesEuntDomus]

Fuck that noise, we need Spongebob Boat-a-cross 3D based on the Spintyres engine.

 

[vertexwindi]

Neat. I played the original one back on the Xbox a ton and it was a lot of fun, except Kelp Forest, fuck that one.

 

[Bread Fetishist]

Never played this one. I played the movie game, which, from what I can tell, reused a lot of assets and game mechanics from this one. It was a lot of fun, though, and I might pick this up.

The only other one I can think of is DuckTales Remastered.

The canceled Goldeneye 007 remake's probably the next closest thing, I can think of Return to Arkham, as well as a few Star Wars rereleases, but I think that does it.

It was one of the earliest kid's shows that tried to send the message that "working class jobs fucking suck, here's our exaggerated take on it." I believe Rocko's Modern Life did it better(call center and office work by Rocko & Ed Bighead), but Spongebob captures a lot of the detailed trials and tribulations of working fast food which resonates with a lot of teens and adults.

Even if Spongebob hadn't been a successful kid's show/IP, Battle for Bikini Bottom was a well-made game that would have found a cult following regardless. Another strange example is Shrek's Super Slam, which is finding traction in the fighting game community for being a skill-based alternative to Smash(and becoming something of a meme in its own right, since so few licensed games for movies/TV end up being any good).

They did release all the Konami licensed beat em ups on PS3 at one point (before Activision and EA removed them all) and Capcom’s D&D beat em up is still on PS3, 360, Steam, etc

Bubble bowling and the bubble missile are some of my favorite power ups in this game, along with just hitting everything and everyone with the bubble wand, except the thunder tikis.
