It's about time that the iconic Crash Bandicoot ed the Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy and Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled have won over gamers and pushed the series back into the limelight. While the games have reclaimed an audience nostalgic for the PS1 classic, they've also performed well across the board - namely, on platforms beyond the PlayStation brand.
One of the heaviest hitters was Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy on Nintendo Switch. The revamped trilogy was so successful that it managed to become the Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu!/Eevee! and Super Smash Bros Ultimate. That sort of success means that Nintendo fans are ive of the bandicoot's titles, and it could lead to a crossover that seemed impossible during the console wars back in the '90s.
Crash Bandicoot is a character that gamers have wanted to see mix it up with Nintendo's greatest for some time now. No, his demand never quite rivaled that of the cries for Banjo-Kazooie to crossover into Super Smash Bros. Still, that doesn't mean that the character has been without . Seeing the likes of Crash square off with Mario and Sonic would be a truly iconic moment for consumers that watched Nintendo, SEGA, and PlayStation go to war with each other.
Those that believe it'll never happen thanks to the ties to PlayStation may also want to reconsider that stance. Skylanders.
At the end of the day, Crash Bandicoot is an icon within the gaming industry and Smash Bros is a game about bringing these icons together. At this point, there's a shortlist of potential fighters that could rival the amount of excitement that would accompany the likes of the orange tornado. It's not hard to envision a move set for the character either, utilizing spin attacks, slides, and TNT crates to deal out damage. With all of this in mind, Crash Bandicoot is a perfect fit for an already packed roster and a noteworthy absence from game dedicated to allowing gaming icons to square off with one another.
