SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle For Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated's Boss Fight Trailer Makes Us Nostalgic

SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle For Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated, which is due to release on June 23, has shown off its boss fights in a new trailer. Watching this footage reminds us of the hey-day of the PS2 3D platformer--after all, this is a remake of a game from 2003, when boss fights like this were a dime a dozen.

In the footage below, you can see SpongeBob take on a variety of giant enemies, including robots based on his friends, a huge jellyfish, and his arc nemesis, Plankton. The game has received a huge visual update, but it still looks like a PS2 platformer in many ways--and that, for many fans, is surely a good thing.

Battle for Bikini Bottom is receiving the remake treatment because the original game has earned something of a cult following among the speedrunning community--and also because SpongeBob is still going, with a new movie on the way, and the 12th season of the TV show currently airing sporadically.
