THQ Nordic has stated, that they are planning to bring a bunch of older games as remasters to modern consoles in the future. Owning much of the library of old THQ titles (THQ Nordic is, after all, a different company altogether even if it bought the name), doesn't necessarily mean they can re-release the games, particularly when it comes to licensed properties. Now the publisher has reached an agreement with Nickelodeon paving the way for re-releases and remasters of a range of old licensed titles.
Exactly which games THQ Nordic are targeting remains to be seen, but these are the franchises they are looking to re-release titles from.
The full list is as follows:
Avatar: The Last Airbender
Back at the Barnyard
Catscratch
Danny Phantom
El Tigre
Invader Zim
Jimmy Neutron
My Life as a Teenage Robot
Rocket Power
Rocko's Modern Life
Rugrats
SpongeBob SquarePants
Tak and the Power of JuJu
The Fairly OddParents (US only)
The Ren & Stimpy Show
The Wild Thornberrys
In some cases, it may simply be a matter of getting the old games up on various digital outlets for PC, but perhaps some will get a more thorough remaster treatment. It remains to be seen, clearly THQ Nordic are serious about utilising their entire back catalogue of titles in some way.
Thanks, Polygon.
