Spyro + Crash Game Bundle Coming November 13, 2018 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, costs $59.99

[Motwera]

Your favorite Dragon and Bandicoot are back! With the Spyro + Crash Remastered Game Bundle, you get two fully remastered trilogies, the Spyro Reignited Trilogy and the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, for a total of six iconic games.

• Rekindle the fire with the original three Spyro games, Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! and Spyro: Year of the Dragon.
• Then spin, jump, and wump as you take on the three Crash games that started it all, Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, and Crash Bandicoot: Warped.

It looks like there's a new bundle that packs in both Spyro Reignited Trilogy and Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy into a single package (two discs for each trilogy/series most likely) in a new bundle called "Spyro + Crash Game Bundle" for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It's listed on several sites including Walmart for $59.99 USD MSRP, which takes away some of the skepticism that I had regarding the legitimacy of it.

Those two covers are coming straight out of Walmart's listings because before that, there were a few local stores that had low-res images of both the Xbox One (those were cropped and added to both covers on the Side Scrollers banner image) and PS4 cover-arts (Side Scrollers, Game 'n DVD Exchange), as well as some other retailers/sites listed below).

There is one thing that's concerning: Spyro Reignited Trilogy seems to still require "content download" for both consoles/platforms, especially after it backfired on Activision/Toys for Bob and led them to delay the game with "love and care" without citing anything regarding this issue. Also, the PR response from Activision does not count as its a vague "no comment" statement.

Anyways, what do you guys think about this? I know some people here prefer Spyro more than Crash, speaking as a Crash fan myself and I understand the reasons. But also, I understand that there are people who would love to get on the hype train and get both remakes in one pack, this isn't new if you are familiar with either franchise, like the Superpack for the GBA.

EDIT: It seems like Walmart, Bull Moose, and Side Scrollers have delisted the bundle, it's only a matter of time on when this will be announced. Here's something to verify that it is real via BrickSeek: PlayStation 4 - Xbox One

Update: It looks like the bundle is shipped to retailers, in this case from the Reddit user PiggyMcsquee, is the PS4 version at Best Buy.
Update 2: Here's the back cover of the bundle from the same user

Update 3: Looks like Amazon also has the bundle sold for Xbox One and PlayStation 4. It's currently live on Amazon Japan, using the ASIN Lookup tool, we can see that the English title is already set and will be revealed once Activision announces the bundle. For Japanese fans, please note that this listing is a North American import.

Amazon Japan: Xbox One - PlayStation 4
Amazon ASIN (Lookup Tool): Xbox One - PlayStation 4

Update 4: Looks like Microsoft has listed the bundle sold for Xbox One digitally. It's currently live on the Microsoft Store in Japan, please note that Spyro Reignited Trilogy does not feature any kind of Japanese localization what so ever. This bundle will go live on the Microsoft Store everywhere else where applicable soon for tomorrow's launch.

Good deal

 

[Renna Hazel]

This seems like such an amazing deal. 10 dollars per game? Incredible value.

 

[Lant_War]

"original 6 games remastered"

Did they really need to put that in the boxart? It already looks kinda ugly in the Crash one.

 

[Erevador]

Great content. Hideous boxart.

 

[Bartend3r]

Seems like a great deal.

But why is download required only on Xbox?

Edit: my bad. Didn't see the warning on PS4 box.

 

[AnubisRising]

Looks like ill be getting this

 

[MisterHero]

Guess neither Crash or Spyro is coming to Smash. =(

 

[bsigg]

Glad I held off on Crash. Definitely snagging this.

 

[TheBeardedOne]

That's a good deal.

It says it on the PS4 case too, it's just not as easy to see.

 

[Zippo]

This will be mine.

 

[Vito]

*Requires content download.

Stay classy Activision.

 

[ASaiyan]

"Requires content download", eh? Makes sense for 6 full games. But did we ever establish whether that situation was changed for the standalone Spyro remaster?

 

[alexi52]

I want this for Switch

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Dual packs are coming back with a vengeance.

 

[Papertoonz]

sad to hear that the spyro download issue is still a thing, but still this is a very good deal in terms of content

 

[King Dodongo]

Wait the bundle isn't for Switch? Is the cart size the reason for this?

The Spyro Trilogy hasn't been announced for Switch at all.

No, the bundle isn't on the Nintendo Switch because Spyro Reignited Trilogy is not announced or coming to that system or even on PC (Steam) yet.

Oh that explains it. Still not good news though :P. Thanks!

 

[Fuchsia]

This is amazing value. If I hadn't already played Crash I'd snatch this up. Cannot wait for Spyro. Most anticipated title of November and December for me honestly.

 

[Aurc]

Requires content download...?

Come on.

That said, Crash and Spyro bundle is an obvious pairing that needed to be done.

I giggled like an idiot the first time I saw this pic.

I still do, God that cover was awful. The art itself was alright, but the "original 3 games remastered" and the "3 games included" killed it.

Still better than that Batman one, though.

 

[ShadowFox08]

crazy deal!

Now Nintendo just needs Banjo, Crash, and Spyro to be in smash...

 

[N.Domixis]

Id rather get the single spyro box. this box art is garbage,

 

[Clowns]

Still requiring content download. Meh.

 

[ElMexiMerican]

Reminds me of those value packs on PS1, I dig it.

 

[Rosebud]

Great bundle

 

[LycanXIII]

Were the additional Crash levels on disc for Xbox? But it's totally Spyro being downloaded still.

Yes, this also includes the PS4 reprints that have the 2 bonus levels banner.

 

[Akuma-san メカ豪鬼]

So Spyro is 40 usd?

 

[Motwera]

Click to shrink...

Yes, Spyro Reignited Trilogy standalone is $40 USD, this is the same price that Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy debuted at when it came to PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

I thought that such a bundle might come in 2019, wouldn't this hinder the Spyro sales?

 

[rokkerkory]

Yummmm

 

[Chaserjoey]

Incredibly disappointing for Spyro to have been delayed and yet there's still a download required to play the games. At least we'll find out what exactly that entails in about two weeks.

You mean of the standalone Spyro collection, not significantly. More likely it going to upsell to customer who were going to buy Spyro anyway.

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

Content download requirement strikes again! Spyro pre-order cancelled again until I can find out what's actually on the bloody disk.

 

[Son of Liberty]

Good deal, I can see that being a huge seller during the holidays.

Fam is it that deep? You live in the UK, internet speed can't be that bad?

 

[Zalman]

The required download really killed my hype for Spyro. It's a shame.

Click to shrink...

Wait why did I get a port begging warning, it's a multi-platform game, am I not allowed to say that I would like a certain multi-platform game could come to a console?

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

There is one thing that's concerning: Spyro Reignited Trilogy seems to still require "content download" for both consoles/platforms, especially after it backfired on Activision/Toys for Bob and led them to delay the game with "love and care" without citing anything regarding this issue. Also, the PR response from Activision does not count as its a vague "no comment" statement.

Are you freaking kidding me? Get the hell out of here Activision.

More about futureproofing for me. Patches and updates are fine, but having chunks of the base game potentially not on the disk is a no-go for me. Same concern stops me from buying physical Switch games with mandatory downloads to obtain the full game.

 

[RochHoch]

Growing up on Nintendo, I've never actually played any of these games, ever, so I might have to pick this up to experience a childhood that I never had.

 

[unicornKnight]

I love when people make their own truth lol.
Spyro was delayed because it needed time, not because some people whined on the internet over the download thing.

 

[potatohead]

Box is enough to avoid for me lol

But would make a nice gift I think

Have the Spyro trilogy alone pre-ordered though

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ fair enough. Can't really relate I'm 100% digital.

 

[Luke_wal]

Anybody else remember Crash Purple and Spyro Orange for the GBA? That was my first introduction to either of these characters, and this totally reminds me of that in an awesome way.
