I'm just not sure it's possible to make people really care about him again. He was always little more than a decent plat-former with an anthropomorphic animal(which ripped of Taz in many ways) in a sea of copy cats.
Funny, if he couldn't be compared to those 3 then why the heck is Crash as a franchise outsolde every ninteno game series with the exception of Mario and pokemon?

Naughty Dog made three great platformers and the only kart racing game that ever came close to Mario Kart and it's been raped ever since.
The kart racing game did beat mario ain gameplay and public opinion. (rating) but mario kart sold because it had MARIO in it. In fact, all 3 crash racing games are superior.

Sony has done a better job selling Sack Boy and Ratchet to you. Who would get their kid an Xbox360 over a Wii or PS3, with no actual promoted kid friendly games. But that neither here no there.

The point is Crash was only relevant in the PS1/N64 years. Nor did he maintain the almost universal appeal for NES/SNES Marios or the Genisis Sonics, even when he was good. I wouldn't even suggest it if I hadn't known people at the time who hated Crash, and not because they were Nintendo/Sega Fanboys either or crazy like Bomb.
HGe sold millions with his GBA games, WoC, and twinsanity hich was one of the funniest adventure games on a game system. So Akane everything you said so far is error. Crash even now (after the Sierra screw up.) is still somehow selling well. however, Spyro is dead. just thought i would put that out. oh, Sony didn't make Spyro popular. It never sold that much even in the PS1 days.

WoC is Wrath of Cortex. hinch is short of hence.

care about him again.
Actually, millions would instantly buy the new crash game since there is about that many+ fans. But that might be all it will get. Crash games have terrifying delays.

I thought the only reason Crash Bandicoot sold on the PS1 was because it was the system's only good 3d platformer for a good long while.

Though the crash games were good. My fav was Crash 2, that game was even better than Mario 64 IMO bc it fixed practically all the issues the 1st game had, and its stage design was more reminiscent of old mario games than Mario 64 was, which honestly had controls and camera angles which were not as good as Crash's

I've never played a Crash Bandicoot game.
