The Switch version of Crash Bandicoot Trilogy is the fastest selling Switch game in the UK this year
- Thread starter Guaraná
- Start date
the glorious return to form for Crash on a portable console
it's been since the GBA, Crash fans were waiting

Not really, at least not over here in the UK.
Crash was probably the biggest platforming icon of that gen here.
Rare Replay would sell OK on Switch, but the likes of Banjo weren't on the same league as Crash in terms of popularity.
Strange because that gen had mario64, banjo, rayman2, tonic trouble and many other great platformers
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
And lol IGN gave Super Magnetic Neo a 6.9.
Crash Bandicoot is better. Crash 3 is at a 91 meta score.
It shows as #6 currently on my list.. (it wont show games you own unless you click on the Top Sellers for the list) And besides that... every single other game in the top 10 is massively reduced price due to the Steam sale. So right now the list is kinda skewed. It's undoubtedly the highest selling new game since it launched.
SteamSpy shows it currently between 100,000-200,000 owners

Well there hasn't been any big notable releases so far on Switch so far this year so not suprising.
I'd probably say Crash, Spyro, Rayman were the big 3. Sonic would've been too, but lol Sega Saturn.
SEGA and PlayStation were king in the 90s in the UK.
Oh no. In ten years Europe will only be known as the market that only loves Crash. Like with Gianna sisters.
In american podcasts you'll hear people say " I've heard they don't even know Mario there"

I loved those games as a kid but they did not age all that well. The platforming just isn't as tight anymore, but great that it is such a success. I mean it already was last year and continues now on the switch.
Now on to the truly well aged Crash game CTR. Please remake that one! With online play. PS4 needs it's mario kart.

What is this supposed to mean? The controls degraded over time?
Yeah I think it's a good mix of old school gameplay and 3d graphics.
Yeah lol I'm struggling to think of any Switch releases bigger than this for 2018.
If there is nothing people want, games would not be bought, period. Crash has a history of success in Europe so the game doing well on switch there isn't too surprising
It's not sold well because there's a lack of new releases. It's sold well because it's Crash Bandicoot.
The PS1 games have been the top selling PS1 Classics on PS3 here since they came on the service. Sometimes MGS or FFVII might be up there, but they've consistently been the top selling for almost a decade.

That still doesn't take it from that there hasn't been any big releases for Switch so far this year that can rival Crash. Kirby, Mario Tennis and Wii U port.
Crash is bigger than any of those I mentioned.
SteamSpy isn't working currently. It says that for most games. The problem, as I see it, is that the game has an all-time peak player number of 3,755, which is really not good for such a mainstream and popular title. It is possible the game will demonstrate decent legs once the Steam sale ends, however.
That's irrelevant since it doesn't inflate the sales of other games
That's not what Im saying. Im saying there hasn't been a Zelda, a Smash or a Mario plattformer or any giant Nintendo IP so far this year so Crash selling well is not suprising to me.
The PC version will be the lowest selling by a long shot in comparison. Switch will approach PS4 depending on legs. Glad to see crash do so well on consoles.
This is the new "Switch owners are starving for games." right? :lol
You're right, this one-year late third party port placed between two major exclusive releases (Mario Tennis and Octopath Traveler) is successful because there are no games coming out.
Right.
Again, nothing being on the table doesn't inflate Crash's sales. It sold because people like Crash. Nothing more, nothing less
Thr Switch version is not going to approach the PS4 version.
I bought Crash and I've bought so many Switch games this year. I bought it because I want it (and its great value for money) lol. Not this starving business again :(
So I guess I was wrong, lack of big releases does not have anything to do with Crash selling well.
Ladies and gentlemen, the power of good pricing and good value for money in the UK.
If there was any proof of just how price concious the UK market is, well, here you go!

BetaM just released a video of nsane trilogy test levels, I need open world classic crash game NOW!
Mario Tennis Aces launched the week before, and i can still see the Nadal commercial on TV.
Plus don't underestimate the fact that this game came out a year later on Switch and Xbox.
But I wonder how much of the success of Crash in UK (and in EU) has to do to the fact that Nintendo's business here before the Gamecube was relatively small so it didn't have it's biggest competitor Super Mario 64.
