Andy Gavin, the co-creator of Crash Bandicoot, recently shared his opinion on the remake – which is largely positive, but believes jumping is “botched”.
Crash Bandicoot was remade several years ago as part of the N. Sane Trilogy. Gavin seems to be in the camp that largely praised the release, though he has now spoken at length about why he feels the jumping mechanic is off.

Patapon 1 + 2 Replay review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 1 week ago by Edan(@@Virtualboi92) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: July 22, 2025
Developer: Sas Co / Pyramid / Japan Studio
Publisher: Bandai Namco
Of all the franchises I expected to see on Switch this year, Sony Interactive Entertainment’s Patapon wasn’t one of them. Part rhythm game, part imposing strategy micro-management sim, Patapon is the endearing outcome of a chance encounter between Japanese developer Hiroyuki Kotani and the personal website of French artist Rolito. This fairytale serendipity resulted in Japan Studio, Rolito, and Pyramid developing the original Patapon exclusively for Sony’s PSP in 2007, with a sequel arriving for the same machine just one year later. Now almost twenty years later, Bandai Namco lives up to its apparent reputation as everyone’s best mate by taking the PlayStation exclusive multiplatform. Can someone explain our current timeline to me, please?
