Man, I hope they have him go to Nintendo again.

"Now in furr-k, Crash got insanely better!"

 

[dallow_bg]

Awesome. Nice to see this throwback.

 

[black070]

Crash is back baby.

Genius throwback ad campaign. Works great, very clever! Thanks for posting these.

Man, I hope they have him go to Nintendo again.

Can't we have just one Crash thread where we don't talk about the potential temporary nature of the PS4 exclusivity

Spoiler

I kid

 

[scoobs]

Haha that's great, well played activision

 

[Majine]

Furr-K made me cringe.

Which is the point I guess.

You know, Reggie use to work at Pizza Hut.

 

[Jawbreaker]

I'm loving it.

 

[13ruce]

Cool!

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Now in full fur-k?
Good to see Crash has accepted that he is roughly on the same level as Bubsy

 

[funkystudent]

Pfft.

Bet its not even native fur-k

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Man, I hope they have him go to Nintendo again.

That would be the more 90s thing ever

Same level in which sense? The first Bubsy is known as a solid game...and the original Crash games are some of the best pure 3D platformers out there.

 

[Reversed]

Not even CB escapes from the toneless snyder filter.

 

[Inuhanyou]

God damn,a big ol dash of nostalgia there. Now all we need is for him to hold up a big ol loudspeaker in a crowded place

 

[MrSaturn99]

Man, I hope they have him go to Nintendo again.

Please.

He's just commenting on the "fur" pun that Bubsy used in their titles.

Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind
Bubsy 3D: Furbitten Planet

There isn't really any need. At the time Nintendo was on top of the industry.

These days...well....

For the record, I preferred the mascot suit without the face cutout.

 

[lupinko]

*game comes to Switch*

Hey Mushroomman, let bygones be bygones right?

 

[TimeEffect]

I wonder if crash would have survived if Sony had the rights or if they would have canned him.

 

[EchoChamber]

Isn't the insane trilogy in fur-1440p?

 

[pixelation]

Awesome... can't wait!

 

[mindatlarge]

Now this is some great marketing. Stir the nostalgia with established fans but also target a new audience. Love it!

 

[Joey Ravn]

I never played any Crash game back in the day. I constantly feel I'm totally out of the loop with this collection :/

Kinda on the verge about getting it. Maybe I'll wait until it drops a bit in price, but it does look like this is my chance to get into the series.

Mario still overshadows Crash's popularity. A throwback to that ad would be amazing.

 

[Lifeline]

I would be so happy if they take him to the Nintendo parking lot again.

 

[MCD250]

Excellent.

 

[LongDongJunon]

That means it's working.

 

[Ricky_R]

Good choice going for nostalgia there and then showing the clear improvement.

 

[maxcriden]

Ohh, I see. Still kinda sounded like an intimation of Crash being poor quality, though, which seems a bit far to me to put it on Bubsy 3D level.

 

[Tizoc]

Where the superior japanese ads at?

 

[Kickz]

Very nostalgic, can't wait to pick this up

 

[silva1991]

Oh I see, yeah, he could be being cheeky and implying that as well.
In which case he'd be incorrect.

 

[B1gg_Randall]

Came for this!

 

[HackTheSlash]

Hopefully it sells well and convinces them to remake/remaster CTR.

This is what made the original advertisements great. Those commercials were highly self aware and took the underdog approach to Nintendo and Mario. These commercials were released months before the NA launch of Mario 64 and the N64, Mario 64 was being hyped as a gaming event in itself. Sony really wanted to knock that hype down by a few pegs and take some potshots at Nintendo in the process with their own Crash... they really wanted Crash to be the new Sonic of that generation.

 

[Blam]

Damn this is what I want.

 

[SarusGray]

yes crash, please challenge mario. I WANT THIS DRAMA MAMA! <3

 

[dracula_x]

Man, I hope they have him go to Nintendo again.

This is what I was hoping for, honestly

I think the old, shaky middle-age voice is what makes this.

Yeah, it's a great delivery.
And the elbow line at the end seals it.
