Yes. Sega is publishing a Crash game, on a Nintendo platform.

This is pretty crazy.

Actually I'm surprised Konami isn't since they took on Wrath of Cortex back then in Japan (and had some involvement worldwide as their logo was on the back cover in NA).

This timeline is too weird for me

 

[Zubz]

... did the streams cross somewhere?

 

[Hero of Legend]

Fun fact. Crash 1 was at one point at Naughty Dog called "Sonic's Ass". because it was meant to be a "behind Sonic" perspective to put it simply IIRC.

 

[808s & Villainy]

What

 

[KtotheRoc]

Crash will be added to Smash Bros. Ultimate as our 3rd Sega rep./s

 

[Leynos]

Had you told me in the '90s that Sega would publish Sony's quasi-mascot on a Nintendo platform I wouldn't have believed you. Yet, here we are.

This would have been a wild ass headline to read in the 90s

Crash and Spyro were never Sony IPs though. Universal Interactive owned both during the PS1 era.

 

[DanarchyReigns]

Huh.... wuh... buh...
My mind is full of fuck.

At least Japanese Switch owners get to play Crash

 

[funky]

The naughty dog Crash games are being released on a Nintendo console, published by Sega.



Video games are bloody weird sometimes.

 

[Cybersai]

The only thing stranger would be Crash announced for Smash.

 

[Lukas Taves]

How a. When did I cross to the red verse?

 

[NateDrake]

The plot of Hyperdimension Neptunia is becoming a reality.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Wait

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

 

[clickKunst]

On one system a person can play Mario, Zelda, Kirby, Donkey Kong Country, Sonic Mania, Wonder Boy, Rayman, Crash Bandicoot, Bomberman and very shortly Mega Man and possibly Spyro. The kicker? It's portable. Is this not the best gen since gen 5?

ye dude activision uses japanese pubs to publish their games there like a lot of cods are published by square enix.

 

[crimzonflame]

The Crash games sold really well in Japan didn't they?

 

[Virtua Sanus]

SEGA's published a lot of games in Japan for western publishers. For quite a long time they would distribute EA's games, for example.

Wait

Activision has published SEGA games on home computers a lot in the past, especially in Europe. Probably over a hundred games, honestly.

I'd be fine with this.

Finally, our one console future is ever closer.

So what you're saying is....

A former company(that tried to sue Nintendo over donkey kong and is now working with them on a theme park)''s old IP, that was exclusive to Sony, published by SEGA and is now releasing on a Nintendo system.

 

[Deleted member 2793]

Actually I'm surprised Konami isn't

Click to shrink...

Not surprising, Konami actually knows how to make money and this trilogy already wasn't big on PS4 there and it's too associated with the PS brand, meaning even weaker sales.

The deepest of lore.

 

[J-Skee]

What a time.

 

[ILikeFeet]

I'm surprised Square Enix isn't publishing it as they usually publish Activision stuff

 

[RedDevil]

This would have been a wild ass headline to read in the 90s

Didn't SEGA themselves publish Altered Beast for Famicom?

Sunsoft in Japan and Tengen in the west IIRC. But yeah some Sega games did end up on NES.

I'll try to process this... A former Sony IP, currently owned by Activision, published by SEGA, on a Nintendo console.
No I can't sorry... Videogames are weird.

 

[Jessie]

8 year old me would be typing an all caps rant on Gamefaqs right now

 

[Deleted member 249]

My head hurts.

 

[DinoPulse]

Remember when Sonic and Crash became best friends after a Dance-off at E3 last year?

Maybe this is what came out of that friendship since Konami wasn't interested in publishing the trilogy remakes in Japan!

 

[DinoPulse]

... did the streams cross somewhere?

Click to shrink...

BTW, my last post proves that Sonic and Crash did cross streams to help make this happen some how.

 

[Whitemex]

 

[RM8]

Cool, I don't have to import it now. The question is, do I still want to play it? :x

 

[CeroMiedo]

I guess Barry fucked up the timeline yet again

 

[Anth0ny]

this fucking timeline

Lol..exactly.Very well put into words :)

 

[Motwera]

Well, SEGA publishing this is unexpected to see. Although I was wondering when NST Switch would release in Japan...

 

[Velikost]

lmao, I dunno what's worse, the new NA Crash art, or the anime'd Crash from Japan

 

[ZarKryn7]

Huh. I thought it would be Konami considering they have published Crash games in the past.
