Eight years is a long time and I think the desire for new platformers was growing so Activision did what they had to do… put Crash in a Skylanders game. 2008’s Crash Mind over Mutant, would be the last we see of our favorite marsupial until e3 2016. So like any huge success, Crash began to see sequel after sequel, with each game getting worse and worse and before you knew it… Crash Bandicoot games were no longer being produced. Crash began to rival Sonic and Mario, which up until that point had never been done and is a pretty remarkable feat. During the mid 90s, platformers were a dime a dozen (anyone remember Croc?), but among all the different choices, Crash stood out. Crash Bandicoot was my very first Playstation game in 1996 and the franchise holds a special place in my heart. 2017, the year of the platformer is running wild thus far, and we can’t have the year of the platformer without one of the greatest platform mascots of all time.
