Gamecube era SpongeBob Game Remastered And Coming To Apple TV

THQ Nordic studio Handy Games released Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated mid-2020 to consoles, and announced earlier this week a mobile version will be landing January 21. What it didn’t announce is Apple TV compatibility. And it’s amazing how often this happens.
