Are ya ready kids? Everyone’s favorite absorbent and porous fry cook is back in a new 3D platforming adventure. With Battle for Bikini Bottom and The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie Game both considered cult classics of the GameCube era of gaming, and this style of SpongeBob game making a return through developer Purple Lamp’s remake of Battle for Bikini Bottom: Rehydrated, and wholly original title The Cosmic Shake, I was very excited to see what was to come next. I thoroughly enjoyed the Rehydrated return to platforming for SpongeBob, but I was a little more mixed on The Cosmic Shake, which felt to me like it had too much back-tracking in its design and only having SpongeBob be playable felt like an odd decision at the time. However, it was a very ambitious game and a strong base to build off for the next entry and before you can stop on your right foot (don’t forget it!) and bring it around town, THQ Nordic has already cooked up a new original game with a supernatural twist. The story?

Posted on 4 days ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments

The latest UK software sales chart for the week ending November 22, 2025 is now available.

The big news here is the debut of Kirby Air Riders, which actually missed out on the top ten. You’ll find it this week down at #12. Kirby Air Ride on GameCube wasn’t a massive seller back in the day, so this may not come as a huge surprise.
