Ahh, remember the good old days of B-games based on Nickelodeon license by THQ? Known Necromancer/Lich King THQ Nordic is not involved with this resurrection, however.
Publishers GameMill Entertainment has revealed the game proper after a small announcement was made last two months ago with a trailer. The arcade kart racing game will feature characters from Rugrats (Tommy in a Reptar kart? Cool), Hey Arnold!, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and of course, SpongeBob SquarePants.
Nickelodeon’s trademark green slime will also be an integral part of the game. Collecting slime will gain you turbo for later use. And in true Nickelodeon fashion, the podium celebration includes the winner getting some of the green ooze.
Developed by Peruvian-based Bamtang Games, the game is using the Vector Unit engine, used to power games such as Riptide GP, a jet ski racing game. Which means there will also be jet ski sessions where you tread on slime.
Here’s the trailer:
Honestly, the game has too much of that B-game feel which is hard to shake off, but we will and see if turns out okay.
Nickelodeon Kart Racers will be out on October 23 for the PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on October 23rd.
