Crikey! TY The Tasmanian Tiger 4 Is Getting A Nintendo Switch Release

Yikes!
NOOOO...! 😫
Why turn the game into 2D style??

No ty.

(see what I did there.)

It's called making a game with a limited budget. Hope they can still make it play well & stay entertaining for a few hours

I've never played a Ty game before, however, I do love a good 2D platformer. It's a shame the game is only a digital-only release* (for now anyways), as that would be the only thing stopping me from getting it.

*I'm not necessarily against digital downloads, however, with two kids who might want to play it as well, a physical copy is better than potentially double/triple dipping on the same game so they can play it on their Switch Lites.

Is there difficulty trying to get a remaster for Ty 3 due to Activision being the original publisher for that one? I'd really like to play the third before starting the forth

I’m sure Crome would love to make a new 3D platformer, but they’ve said multiple times they simply can’t afford it without someone else funding them.

I imagine they made Ty four a 2d platformer because they love Ty and wanted to put out a new game that they could actually afford to make on their own

@Teddie-bear I don't believe so. Based on the developer communication it sounds like Ty 3 is possible. It's more likely it's just going to take significantly longer to port Ty 3, so they did this as a side project so they'd have a release for the anniversary.

Didn’t people hate the 4th game?

@link3710 Cheers that does makes sense! Hope we do see it someday.

Well, Ty 2 and 3 on the GBA where also 2d plattformers. and also quite good. I looking forward to play a direct sequel to those games. Really hope a phsycial version.

This is the thing we Ty fans have been waiting for this whole year pretty much, even though they didn't announce exactly what it is. Why does everyone have to bash Ty? Also, Ty 4 made its debut in 2013 on Windows store or something like that and was later rereleased on Steam in 2015, that being the first time it was actually called Ty 4.

It looks like a flash game on newgrounds...

Yeah can we get ty 3 first?

I didn't know there was a third one! I have 1 and 2 on Switch. Halfway on number one, pretty fun (I can't play it for too long though since it gets me dizzy for some reason). Hopefully they also bring number 3!

Looks like they're trying something in the style of Rayman Origins/Legends and with "trying" I really mean "trying", because it looks absolutely terrible if you ask me.

And alas, still no Gex....

Excuse me, I have an Embracer Group to harass.

I'm curious to see how well this translates into 2D. Hopefully, very well! Looking at it, it somewhat reminds me of Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster's Hidden Treasure or Rocket Knight Adventures. That's a good sign in my book!

Information for you fine folks:

This game was originally released on the Windows Store in 2013 before being ported to Steam in 2015. This is the Steam version of the game, but with the new features shown in the video and article. This is the canon continuation of TY3 and is setting up the next game, which will be a 3D platformer.

For those of you wondering where TY3HD is, it won't be coming until after the TY2 Kickstarter rewards are fulfilled, and according to their newsletters, they probably won't need to do a Kickstarter to bring TY3HD to Switch.

Ty 4 was actually a pretty decent game all things considered, especially since it had a lower budget.

The screenshots look all right, but the animation is terrible. Yeah, I know, a lot of comments are saying it's low budget. I'm afraid the animation looks it.

I'm waiting for the 3rd to get a remaster & then all of them get bundled together to pick them up

Ouch. Going backwards on graphics. Will certainly leave alot to be desired. ...including customers.

@Anti-Matter This game was released nine years ago on PC, it's not like they can go back on development.
