SpongeBob Squarepants Battles For Bikini Bottom Again Next Year On Switch

This is way better than Sword and Shield already.

oh heck yeah, I will deff pick this up

AHOY SPONGEBOY ME BOB
LOOKS LIKE YE WON THE SMASH BALLOT...ER WAIT, THAT'S THE EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH AWARD

I absolutely loved this game back in the day, but it either stopped working or we lost it. I will definitely buy this

All hail to Magic Conch Shell! 🤣
Wooloolooloolooloo....!!

I've heard good things about this game. I might pick it up one day.

Gotta give some commenters on here props for calling this in the other THQ article. I honestly don't remember the game. But it sounded like it was much more than licensed cash grab. Which is probably what I wrote it off as back in the day

Am I the only one who seems to think the game aged absolutley horribly

@PBandSmelly
It depends who is the audience.
Spongebob fans might be like that game.

Actually a very enjoyable game. I look forward to seeing how this plays out.

I worked for a Nintendo fansite during the Gamecube era, and my beat was reviewing Nickelodeon games. I remember Spongebob: Revenge of the Flying Dutchman and Jimmy Neutron: Jet Fusion both being fairly mediocre.

I got Battle for Bikini Bottom and was blown away by how much better it was than the other Nickelodeon games at the time. It borrowed its structure heavily from Banjo-Kazooie and Jak & Daxter and was a lot of fun to play.

NO. WAY.
That is awesome! A great platformer, and definitely the best of the Spongebob games.

Pokémon Dir-what now? This was the REAL announcement

Give us Creature from the Krusty Krab next

OMG!!! Soooooo excited!!!!

Super fun 3D Platformer that I own on the Xbox, but I'll gladly pick up a remastered version on Switch!

2020? Did the author of this article just make that up or is there a source?

Battle for Bikini Bottom is the best SpongeBob Squarepants game ever made!

Can't believe Pokemon tried to distract us from such an important announcement.

This is awesome!

@DockEllisD Nah this is the best time to announce this. A remake to a licensed GameCube game would have gotten very lost amongst everything else happening at E3.

Wow look just like the cartoon.

Pokémon Sword/Shield: I sleep😴

Spongebob BFBB: WOKE!!!!🤩

I’m still pretty excited for Pokémon, no lie, but that spongebob game was literally my childhood and for that to get a remake is a man’s dream come true!🤤

I never played the original, but I have been super hyped to experience this game, being the die-hard Spongebob fan I am. Yes, I never played the original. But don't worry, I will be amending that mistake on this games launch date.

This game has some really fun Mario 64 type gameplay. I really hope they keep one of the main features of the game intact- it's smooth 60 fps graphics!

Now this is unexpected. BfBK is one of the few good licensed games out there from what I can remember, it’s a pretty solid collectathon platformer. It’s funny, I was just thinking I wanted to replay this game to see if it still holds up. Never thought I’d get to do so on the Switch.

This was probably the greatest licensed game of all time. I can't wait to see how the remake turns out.

i probably am gonna enjoy this allot, which is weird cuss im old as hell. Old school SB fan, thats what we call him...SB.

ALL HAIL THE MAGIC CONCH!!

I had this on ps2, great game

Never been a SpongeBob fan myself, but I’m sure my kids will love it.

That's actually pretty cool as it seems to be pretty popular although sadly I was never into SpongeBob

Almost picked up a old copy of this a few months back to try out. I never played it before. Now I can just wait for this.

Bahahah, we were just talking about this yesterday.

So when is the movie game next? That one was stellar as well.

@Link-Hero Well no, but THQ Nordic negotiated rights to all the old Nicktoons games about a year ago, so now we're seeing the results.

Anyways, I saw this game at GDQ one year, wanted to play it myself ever since.

Unironically excited for this, both it and the movie game (and Barnyard's game) were actually fun, well-made titles. Definitely not a common thing back in those days.

@NIN10DOXD Maybe in the PS2/GameCube era, but between Ducktales, Turtles in time and the Aladdin game there's no room for no square bottoms.

Darkwing Duck, Chip n Dale rescue rangers, Castle of Illusion, Bucky O'Hare... I'll have you know licenced games used to be quite good!

Ya know, I've never played the original. That being said,
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

All Hail The Magic Conch

@ALinkttPresent I haven't seen a source anywhere. Would love Nintendo Life to clarify.

This is bananas. I remember playing this at a friend's house when I was in grade school and loving it. I recently started collecting GameCube games and was looking to purchase it, but maybe I'll wait for this remaster. Regardless, this was a fun little announcement!

One of those few licensed games that really managed to be a great game in it's own right. Makes me think of Capcom's Disney games on the NES. The Ducktales titles are fantastic games that too have stood the test of time and rightfully got a remake (well the first title did, wonder if they'll ever remake the second).

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH, WHO LIVES IN A PINEAPPLE UNDER A PINEAPPLE UNDER A PINEAPPLE UNDER A PINEAPPLE UNDER A PINEAPPLE UNDER THE SEA, PINAPPLE

@Starcakes you forgot g o l d e n e y e

Yes I'm 34 and yes I'm one of the 40% of 18-34 year olds who are viewers and fans of the show. And yes, I'll be picking this up, all the while enduring the ridicule and disdain of my peers, who lost their inner child a long time ago.

IS THIS REAL??? As pathetic as it sounds, I'm almost crying I'm so happy right now. Day one!
One of the few awesome licensed games from that era along with the Spongebob Movie Game and the first Harry Potter games.

@Tasuki …Because THQ believes that people will buy it?

This is a huge disappointment honestly.

@Galarian_Lassie more people will say hey maybe but end up buying something else. The could have done much better.

@Dirty0814 I'd love to see some proof for that massive assumption.

People will buy this for the SpongeBob name alone, no matter whether it turns out good or bad. I once saw some kids inside a Target decided to buy Nickelodeon Kart Racers instead of MK8, because SpongeBob was on the front cover.

@Tasuki
Spongebob was really popular from Nickelodeon.

@N00BiSH I know right? How rude.

Are you ready...for old tat?!

Love SpongeBob defiantly buying when its out

To quote my favorite line in any TV show ever:
"Shut up, and take my money!"

That's all folks! Lol
