Tony Hawk Has Heard About Crash 4 Coming To New Platforms, Wants His Own Game To Follow

Yeeee do it! I bought it on PC, but it deserves to be on Switch too!

Eh, if it was the classics this would mean something.

Hmmm. Never heard of it but I will try it out if it does come to switch

Maybe it's ironic, but I've never gotten into the action sports games.

Please, I have been desperate for a good extreme sports game on a portable! It's like a lifelong dream for me lol.

I would love this so much!

It's very likely that this game will come to Switch.

It’s an absolutely phenomenal remake, the challenge system adds thousands of hours of gameplay if you’re so inclined. Hopefully as many people as possible can play it.

@Jakiboy I like the originals as much as the next person but this remake is everything you could ever want, with manuals, reverts and a whole load of characters. Even the clothes for your custom skater are great. The mechanics are so much tighter and the animations look more realistic than even Skate 3. Don’t sleep on it just because it’s a remake.

Yeh do it... i sold my xbox version... and my xbox.. now just a switch owner waiting for a ps5

One pair of eyes spark hope for numerous fans...I wouldn't be surprised if a new game eventually came out, and wouldn't be surprised about a Switch version either.

There's something about Tony Hawk seeming to not know about cross-platform releases until Crash 4 enlightened him that really tickles me.

I already own it on PS4 and played it to death.

But I would still probably buy it on Switch.

I just got it on PC but I hope they release this remake on switch and hopefully future Tony Hawk games if they become a thing.

Curious as to how well this would work with the Switch’s less-than-ideal D-pads. Unless folks have somehow managed to pull off the crazy combos with analog sticks, but I just can’t see it being quite as tight.

I love the social media teams.

Give us tony hawk pro skater 3 for switch then will talk.

Would be a dream come true. An easy day 1 buy for me.

@Jakiboy these are the classics!! Like @nessisonnet said this remake is absolutely insane and I would love to have it on my switch.

This sounds actually kinda promising. Like as if stuff is already going on.

My most anticipated Switch release of ... I guess all time even.

I would be interested if this happens. Not that interested in this game in particular but more if his calling it out makes any difference on the game actually coming to Switch and other platforms.

We know most studios don't seem to care what players want, but maybe they care about celebrities. Then we can badger celebrities to spread the word for games we want.

@Heavyarms55 I don't think it is him calling out and rather him already teasing a done deal.

PLEASE! It would be a happy 2021!!!!

I am convinced Activision delays the release of these games on Switch for the double dip effect.

Crash Trilogy, Spyro Trilogy, Crash 4 and now Tony Hawk (pretty sure it's coming) will be bought by Switch only owners but there will be a lot of PC, Xbox and PS gamers who already bought the game but wanted it portable too and likely would have just bought it on Switch only day one.

Fun Fact: Activision is even worse on Switch than EA is. 😳😳

I was there on day 1 when it released on PS1 and I will be there on day 1 if it releases on Switch.

@EVIL-C That’s a bit of a stretch, Activision have brought Overwatch, Spyro, Crash, Crash Team Racing and they’re bringing Crash 4. They’re all heavy hitters with genuinely decent ports without cut content. EA’s ports have pretty much all had glaring issues and they don’t even bother releasing actual versions of FIFA.

Cool if true but why stop at Tony Hawk 1 and 2? Just remastered all four games for Switch.

Been waiting for this, as a Nintendo-only console holder and huge fan of 1 (N64) and 2 (Dreamcast) back in the day. Have 3 for GC but it’s not as good and I don’t really play it, but would play the heck outta this.

@Ghost_of_Hasashi 4 is an entirely different style of game. 3 would make sense though.

I loved the games back in the day, would definitely pick them up if they kickflipped there way to the Switch.

This is my first time owning more than one console (Switch and Series S) and the first time I ever see myself double dipping!

Kinda weird it wasn’t already ported over to begin with.

@Yanina That could be it too of course. But honestly I doubt he is that involved with the games at all. Rather it's just a branding deal.

Then again, they could have asked him to tweet about it for publicity.

This, Fighting EX Layers: Another Dash, and Diablo II: Remastered should had been part of the Nintendo Direct last week. I betcha in a few weeks UbiSoft will be hinting Prince of Persia for Switch again like they said they don't want to.

Again, ignoring a console with 80 million + users, a console where most people want EVERY game ported to the console for the hybrid portability, is bad business.

Port EVERY GAME to the Switch, UbiSoft, EA, Activision, others. It has double the user base now than the Xbox, which gets every port.

@EVIL-C @nessisonett They also launched Diablo 3 with the same support as all other systems (for seasons etc) and actual collaborative cosmetics with Nintendo.

The only main outlier from them is Call of Duty, which is still quite baffling as the mobile game would fit right at home on Switch.

@nessisonett I'm going by what Activision and Wikipedia have listed, and Blizzard's games are actually listed as being published by Blizzard, not Activision. We can get all technical about ownership and whatnot, but as Blizzard has some autonomy, I'm not giving Activision credit for Blizzard's efforts on Switch. Blizzard has done very well by Switch owners.

I realize how nostalgic Spyro or Crash are, but my nostalgia and experience is with N64.

Yup, this is a done deal.
...Can Ken Griffey tweet Nintendo about his baseball series? I miss that game!

Hopefully THPS 1 & 2 does come to Switch. TBH I want it on Switch more than Crash 4. I already double dipped for my One X and PS5. I'd gladly triple dip day one.

@Jakiboy yup, as others have stated the remakes are are everything and more that the originals could have hoped to be. It really is an insane remake of both games and the sound track is still amazing.

This game would sell like hot cakes... Or should i say "hot skates" on switch. Perfect pick up and play, short burst game. Problem is you wont want to put it down.

@Desrever pretty sure that was all planned and it's a fun way of teasing an imminent announcement.

I would buy them.

Also, Tony Hawk for Smash? Could also add Christian Hosoi for some rivalry

I hope this is true

Just reading the title had my head playing Goldfinger‘s Superman
It really is as great as a remake gets, plays exactly like THPS 3 on PS2 and that is one heck of a classic.

It's coming. This stuff rarely happens spontaneously, especially with Nintendo's account getting involved.

All the replies to Nintendo's tweet are about Zelda's 35th anniversary. God, Twitter Nintendo fans are annoying...

Oh yeah, this would make me incredibly happy!!

Have this on PS4 and I love it I will double dip for the chance to play this handheld have Tony hawks 2 on Dreamcast as well so it’s a triple dip for me

Didn't Nintendo do a similar tease for MLB The Show 21 and nothing came of it.

@nessisonett Sent via a friend of mine and reliable source...

"If anyone had gone to amazon they'd have spotted a new listing went live today for it with a release date of may 21st"

Looks like its happening
Ive taken a screen grab of the listing but dont know how to post it lol. No thumbnail on the listing tho.

This is a must-port for the Switch. I was surprised when it wasn't released along with the other versions. This game belongs on a Nintendo console. Get on it Activision!

Seems a bit graphically intense. Maybe wait for switch pro

I had it on PS4 but wasn’t too bothered. As with tons of games that I’m not able to invest the PS4 time (Witcher 3 for example) I would much rather play on switch

not my cup of tea. but I am very happy for the people who want this. 2 games for the price of one is always a good deal.

Man I'd be all over a double dip on this! Fantastic remaster of 2 great games

@Heavyarms55 there is no way that Tony Hawk has just learned that porting games is a thing and that he went on Twitter to "call Activision out" to get TH1+2 ported. then you have the catty responses from all of the brand accounts... if this wasn't already guaranteed to happen (or 99% confirmed), this is the kind of stuff that keeps contracts from being re-upped, not the sort of thing that Crash Bandicoot goes "wow, let me tag in my parent company so they can post the googly eyes emoji" to.

if anything, this is wayyyy too tongue in cheek for my tastes. it's specifically designed, and nakedly so, to get people talking so that people remember this and to give them word of mouth going into an official announcement.

If this is official then its going on my wish list immediately.

I enjoyed Pro Skater 4 a lot on my Mac, but Pro Skater 2 was a lot of fun on the PS1 and N64 when I was visiting friends. I hope it comes to Switch. I guess Bobby better pony up since Tony said so. Haha.

It would be a day one purchase for me for sure.

Great, this is a done deal based on the official brand accounts jumping in on the fun. Will probably be buying.

I think there's a good chance of this actually happening. I will buy day one!

It’s official, the promo’s been released, later in the year.

Nawww. As a player of these titles as a kid I have plenty of nostalgia for them, but the Underground titles were just better. I played them when I was like 11-15, so there's still that nostalgia hit but honest they just had bigger levels, better goals and more mechanics. I haven't bought the remakes of 1+2 because I just don't have the same interest.

just got it for €37.99 for the Xbox one s, that'll do for me.

We also want to come to Switch.

@Grumblevolcano the show may still come to Switch just later like most multiplats.

I guess it's the kind of game that doesn't "need" to be super cutting edge visually to work and be tons of fun to play. They could probably make it work, it doesn't need to have tons of effects, just make sure it still runs just as smoothly and most importantly that the soundtrack is preserved.
