RUMOR: Spyro Reignited Trilogy trailer included in Crash N. Sane Trilogy on Switch
- Thread starter Hero of Legend
- Start date
Honestly Spyro coming to the Switch is an eventuality. It makes too much sense on the console plus Crash is already coming to it. Probably won't be out until next year though.
Nintendo UK (i think) added it on their store. When it first got announced. Only to remove it shortly after.
Maybe they are trying to do a surprise cross-promotion, like when in crash for the og playstation there was a demo for spyro.
I have some childhood memories of Spyro since a classmate had it, so I sure hope it's coming to Switch as I have no such connection to Crash.
It probably just entered development later than the other versions since we know the Crash situation now.
Apparently there are people in China already with the game too, so maybe we find out soon:

Croc on the Sega Saturn has an ad for Croc 2 on the back of the manual, only launched on the PS1. Switch is a flop confirmed.
The game probably isn't ready, might not even have started. If Crash Switch really was this afterthought for Activision, my guess is that they'll just use the same team that did Crash to do Spyro, which of course means it was never gonna get ready for a day and date release with the other consoles. Might as well get used to it by now...
Lack of PC version is really the most baffling thing about all this.

For Spyro? Nah, it's not that deep. But it's definitely coming to Switch. They'd be stupid not to port it over.
Would rather them be working on something more significant, so I hope not!
Outside of Smash, Spyro is my most anticipated purchase for the entire year. I'd say for a lot of people it will be significant, more so then most games that could possibly be ported.
This is what I'm thinking. By July Wolfenstein II will be out, so Panic Button can announce Wolfenstein Youngblood and Crash will be out too, so they can announce Spyro.
The team behind the Switch Crash port is the one behind Spyro iirc.
It's the same studio yeah, but I assume it's a different team. Granted, I don't really know.
A YouTuber got to play the game and asked Toys for Bob about a switch version. They replied with how they are trying to get it running on the Xbox one and PS4 first then possibly do a switch version.
The Switch version not being part of the original announcement (and probably initial development) is one of the weirdest decisions I've seen in the gaming industry lately. I'm no Spyro fan, haven't played the games and even I can see the Switch version would sell insanely well and might even outsell the other versions. It's such a no-brainer.
Haha it's not a demo, it's just a trailer for the game.
Edit: nvm I can't read
A few internet analysts getting up in arms about Spyro's arse being the wrong shade of mauve. The game's going to sell easily what the N Sane Trilogy did!
3D platformers are pretty poor sellers on Steam sadly. At least going from Steamspy when it worked I saw that basically only Sonic Adventure 1 was at a decent sales number. Everything else was sub 80,000 or so, which is just startlingly awful.
Sucks, but I still try to support 3D platformers on Steam whenever I can.
Source?
I remember Geoff Keighley trying to harass the developers about a Switch port during his E3 live stream. They didn't take the bait so...
PS4 and Xbox are the only versions coming in September.
There is no way anyone is stealth dropping Spyro at the same time as the ps4/xb1. Odds are it'll be highlighted in Nintendo's January 2019 direct for a summer release like Crash was.
it's a remake of a colorful retro 3D mascot platformer
it'll come to Switch it's just a matter of when. these companies like money and this is among the safest bets for the Switch audience.

I gues this guy is working on the Switch version right now:

Even if this is true instead of just a mistake from the developers (or just an advert for the PS4/XB1 versions) the port isn't going to come out until at least 8 months to a year after the initial release. Activision clearly sees the Switch as an afterthought so there's no way in hell they'd have put any meaningful resources or planned anything that far in advance.
That's even if the port even exists; if Crash's port had to rely on someone making it work in their own spare time there's a fair chance that lightning won't strike twice in this case. I personally don't think the game will ever come to the Switch.
