Back in the PS1 days, Crash and Spyro were the mascots that rallied newcomers to the Playstation...a healthy alternative to Mario, Zelda, and whatnot. Together they were among the driving forces of selling the system.
Fast forward back to today... Where are they now?
They are now more of a third party and spread across multiple consoles. There's nothing wrong with that, of course. The real problem I see is that they are both drying up. Maybe they were designed to rival Mario and Sonic, but it looks like they failed against the test of time. They are quickly becoming a forgotten page of gaming history.
And this is said for me, because I loved these two franchises to death. My most favorite Spyro's were the first three, and I loved games like Crash Bash and Crash Team Racing. Since the PS1 days, Crash and Spyro have tried to keep up, but to no avail. I was so excited to have Spyro: Year of the Dragonfly for Gamecube! But when I got to playing the game, it was so glitchy that playing it game me headaches. Crash has also stayed true, but I hardly ever hear of it anymore. I have Crash's Huge Adventure for GBA, and it's a very fun game! But is is just me, or are these two mascots ready to pull out the white flag?
What do you think is to become of Crash and Spyro?
