Let's Talk About Nickelodeon's the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie Game
25#letstalkabout #spongebob #newyear
New year, old game as Noah Campbell, who didn't actually see the movie in theaters, tackles a game from his childhood to set the stage right for 2025. While he enjoyed Battle for Bikini Bottom and its Rehydrated re-release, does the Movie Game hold to the same standard? Or maybe there is another reason for why this title has been land-locked to consoles past besides......licensing? Rights ownership? Interest? In the immortal words of Lex Luger: "I don't know!!!"
