This is fantastic.

 

[bosh]

I love it!

Jesus the memories <3

I can't wait to play some Crash Bandicoot again.

 

[PantsuJo]

Boy, this is glorious.

I don't think you have to worry about it. This is its current Amazon rank

Amazon US: 25
Canada: 6
UK: 1
Germany: 1
Italy: 1
France: 3
Spain: 3

It's currently sold out in the US, which is why it's at 25. They've actually been sold out of it multiple times on the lead up to launch.

This is the first time I've ever been happy about a game selling well. Here's hoping this leads to new sequels and, more importantly, a CTR remake.

I can confirm for Italy. It's selling a lot, Amazon and GameStop preorders

Those are great. Love that they brought him back.

Just about everything with this remaster release has been handled impeccably.
Who knew Activision had this in them?
Hopefully consumers reward them accordingly.
Will make a nice end of month combo with Baby Driver.

Preorders are looking hot: Amazon keeps selling through their allotted preorder shipments and having to order more and the game stays in the top 10 in the US and top 5 in most other areas (almost universally #2 on PS4), GameStop switched the keychain bonus from a preorder bonus to a 'first come first serve' bonus seemingly because they simply can't guarantee them anymore, PS Store ratings are pretty up there, it's looking good. Fingers crossed.

They sure understand who their audience are. If they ever do this with Spyro, I hope they bring back the sheep ad's!

 

[alexbull_uk]

lol I love it. Great nostalgia trip.

 

[Maximus.]

Those are good ads.

 

[Platy]

Expected some Kurash Bandikooooti but this is awesome too.

Now they should go to Microsoft headquarters instead of Nintendo or something

 

[CMojicaAce]

Save the Crash return to Nintendo Headquarters for the Crash Bandicoot reboot/sequel marketing.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

Good ads.

Debating picking this up.

 

[Dehnus]

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

Right, as that was so tasteful the first time and not at all cringeworthy.

Difference is:
Mario 64! Classic with great gameplay even to this day and loads of exploration and hidden gems.
Crash Bandicoot! Nostalgia glasses with dated gameplay (Just look at the gameplay shown to us until now).

Winner? Mario 64.

I like the 4:3 aspect ratio! I can't believe I used to play this on a 14 inch CRT TV. Oh how time flies.

 

[OléGunner]

Funny stuff.
Hope they plaster these everywhere for maximum exposure.

Bah gawd the salt.
The Nintendo thing was just some old friendly banter man.

 

[iMerc]

awesome! hope they make more!

I feel like MS missed an opportunity to push the Fur-K power of the One X

[Omnistalgic]

Wow that's pretty good marketing..lol preordered
I'm buying it to support such a well done remake, (like Sotc) and also to get CTR. Though I'm not sure how that would work because Sony still owns CTR, but yeah, we gotta get a Mario-like Kart game on PS somehow, might as well use the new Crash

The old-school Japanese ads are still the best ones. If only for the changing expressions though.

[Sidewinder]

The game still sucks though!

Spoiler

Crap too late already ;(

 

[Banzai]

The usual argument. Say anything good about Crash and it's "nostalgia glasses", but everything about Mario64 is the undisputed best.

I grew up with a Playstation and Crash made me get into platformers. Since then I've played and liked a lot of platformers and got a Wii U to play Galaxy and 3D World. Both are great.
I honestly never liked Mario 64. Big, largely empty worlds with too little platforming. I didn't want to explore. I wanted to jump over things. To even compare it to Crash seems silly to me because of how different they are.

They should consider making Crash the mascot for a salt brand lol.

[zelas]

New Nintendo commercial please!

Idea I had for "remastered" commercial after watching these.

Crash: Hey plumber boy, mustache man, your worst nightmare is back.&#65279;
Pack up your stuff! I've got a little surprise for you here.
Check it out! What do you think of that!
Original trilogy, fully remastered, lush organic environments,
And don't forget, in full FUR-K!
How's that make you feel buddy? Feel like "Switch"ing up your formula?!

Security Guard: I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.

Crash: My elbow still hurts, ya know.

Nothing like this please.

Who cares ? Most people will probably agree Mario 64 was a better game but that didn't stop the Crash Trilogy from being a great traditional platformers and this Remake is looking fantastic.

 

[FearlessBelgian]

Full fur(4) K , ofc...

Its 1440 p upscaled... LOL

I hate marketing lies and bullshits ...

'Fur-K' isn't a lie; it means nothing. It was pretty obvious from the outset there was a reason they've never called it 4K.

BLAST PROCESSING!

But I can understand why it may appear misleading in this case.

 

[Lightning_Roller]

They are really going above and beyond for the N Sane Trilogy. I'm pretty pumped to get some wumpa fruit and defeat Cortex once more.

 

[almostjuliuscaesar]

If there was one sure fire way to market this game, it was the old ads.

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

I loved the old ads, The Salon one got me good.

Living in Vancouver, every (hipster) barber shop in Gastown is exactly like the dudes in the ad. Perfect depiction!

Such great ads, need more...

 

[Sum-Mischief]

I was hoping to see a throwback advert. So great...

 

[CMojicaAce]

If they really did make another ad where Crash goes to Nintendo there would be a lot more of those types of posts up there.

Doesn't really matter how old he is if a silly TV commercial us getting him riled up

 

[.JayZii]

Let's not say "Fur K".

 

[TM94]

Get off my lawn, you freak!

I'm coming up.
