Crash Bandicoot has been dormant for many years. The last mainline entry, Crash: Mind over Mutant, came out in 2008. There have been a few mobile titles released since then, and Radical Entertainment did work on a couple of cancelled projects.

Perhaps a reboot could be in the cards. One eagle-eyed NeoGAF member came across a photo from Vicarious Visions’s Facebook page, which seems to show a new design for Crash Bandicoot tucked away in the corner.

Could there be a brand new title in the works? If so, will it feature an updated Crash Bandicoot?

This is situation that Warner Bros. has experience with. In 2009, the company bought Mortal Kombat and Spy Hunter from Midway Games.

Identities of the other companies interested in THQ’s assets have not been revealed.

Does the Wii U’s early 2013 lineup seem a bit… light? More on that later, but Nintendo UK’s James Honeywell would tell you otherwise.

Honeywell highlighted Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge, and Sing Party while speaking about the Q1 2013 lineup. He also said: “I’m sure E3 will be another great show and there will be lots of fantastic titles to come.”

“As well as a strong launch line up, we’ve also got a really strong Q1. We’ve got a lot of fantastic titles – Monster Hunter, Ninja Gaiden, Sing Party, fantastic titles for everyone. And beyond – I’m sure E3 will be another great show and there will be lots of fantastic titles to come.”
