Rumor: Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time data has internal profile for Switch
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch | 0 comments
Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time has already been rumored for Switch. Before the game even released, Nintendo’s system was clearly mentioned on the official website. Talk about a Switch version is now picking up again following launch.
After digging through the .ini file for Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, it’s apparently been discovered that a Switch profile is hidden within. While it’s possible that it could be leftover code from Unreal Engine 4 – which was used to develop the game – YouTuber Canadian Guy Eh points out that we can see “Copied from Falcon” multiple times in the code. Falcon was the project name for Spyro Reignited Trilogy, which is also on Switch and was made by Toys for Bob. In other words, some optimization code may have been borrowed for the base of Crash Bandicoot 4 on Switch.
Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time website lists Switch in source code

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled are both out on Switch, and by all accounts, they did pretty well. It was therefore a bit of a disappointment to see that Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time – the latest entry in the series – was not announced for the console as part of the initial reveal. There hasn’t been anything confirming a Switch release, but eagle-eyed fans have spotted something that gives a little bit of hope to cling on to.
Over on the official website for Crash Bandicoot 4, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are the only listed systems. However, in the site’s source code, the platforms category also includes Switch. It’s unclear if this was merely a mistake or is a sign of future plans.
One possibility is that we could see Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time on Switch down the road. Activision has brought releases to Switch well after their initial launches as we saw with Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and Spyro Reignited Trilogy. The company has also said it is “still evaluating additional platforms for a future date”.

Spyro Reignited Trilogy physical version has a mandatory 8.7GB download on Switch
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Like other platforms, we knew that the physical version of Spyro Reignited Trilogy would require an additional download on Switch. It’s now been made clear that the back of the box mentions 10GB, but the final install size is 8.7GB.
Keep in mind that the download here is absolutely mandatory. If you try launching the physical version of Spyro Reignited Trilogy without the update, you won’t be able to play. Even with airplane mode enabled, a prompt will appear stating that a software update is required.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Spyro Reignited Trilogy releases for Switch on September 3. It’ll take up 6.2GB digitally. Since Activision isn’t including every game on the cartridge, the physical version will also have a separate download, though it’s unclear how large it will be.
