SpongeBob Dives into His First-Ever 3-D Adventure in THQ’s SpongeBob SquigglePants for Nintendo 3DS(TM)

Fans Can Expect Fast-Paced Action-Packed Fun, with SpongeBob and Friends in the World of Bikini Bottom

AGOURA HILLS, Calif., May 17, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Everyone’s favorite yellow sponge makes his Nintendo 3DS debut today in the wet and wacky video game adventure, SpongeBob SquigglePants.

On this brand-new system, the bubbly world of Bikini Bottom pops to life, giving fans an innovative experience with its vibrant, three-dimensional display. The Nintendo 3DS debut of SpongeBob SquigglePants comes just a month after the game was unveiled on the uDraw GameTabletTM for WiiTM.


This information comes from Project Ace’s Kazutoki Kono…

“As a member of Project Aces, I am overseeing the 3DS version of Ace Combat, but actually the 3DS version is being made by the handheld department that made Ace Combat X and Joint Assault. It has a different producer and director to Assault Horizon, so we can’t really go into details.”

Well, I’m not quite sure if this is a good or a bad thing. Joint Assault received a mixed reception, with criticisms on controls and the campaign.

“Currently, we only have local head-to-head play, but server-based online is certainly something we would be looking at in the future.”

I’m not sure what the deal is here. EA’s press release announcement said that the game would support Nintendo’s Wi-Fi Connection. So… what changed?

Remember the GameStop release lists we posted about a week ago? It said that Sonic Generations was coming to the 3DS, even though SEGA had not announced a separate version for the handheld. The company still hasn’t announced anything officially, but it’s interesting to see that Sonic Generations is listed for Nintendo’s portable on their latest earnings report.

So, were GameStop and SEGA’s own earnings report simple mistakes? Or is Sonic Generations really coming to the 3DS? Hopefully SEGA will clarify things soon…
