The world's coolest marsupial


When Sega discontinued its hardware business to concentrate on software development, the unthinkable happened. It joined forces with its former rival, and released Sonic the Hedgehog games on Nintendo consoles. Sonic was originally created as a hipper, cooler rival character to Nintendo's Super Mario.

This isn't quite the same situation, but in today's Nintendo Direct, it was announced that The Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy will be released on the Nintendo Switch. Crash Bandicoot used to be a mascot for PlayStation. Things have changed since an actor dressed in a Crash Bandicoot costume taunted Nintendo outside their American head office in a 1996 television advertisement, shown here in glorious NTSC, and 4:3 aspect ratio.
