TY The Tasmanian Tiger: Bush Rescue Bundle Announced For Switch

So this includes games 1, 2, and 4? ... Do they expect people to just play 1 and 2, then go get a PlayStation 2 secondhand copy for 3, and then jump back in on the Switch cart for 4, or what? Why wouldn't they port the third game before releasing this bundle lol.

I've not played this series before, so I don't know if there's any more to it that I'm not aware of that makes this make more sense.

Guess that means 3 is never coming

I've had 4 on my wish list for a while I grew up on 1 & 2 on GC. I remember really enjoying them both. I've literally never heard or played the 3rd one but considering the story of the first two I don't think I'll be lost jumping to the 4th. Its definitely made me more interested now that it's got a physical release coming.

@FishyS I don't think that's the reason. Krome Studios has all 4 Ty games available on Steam. They must just not think it's worth porting Ty 3 to consoles because it had the worst reception. I'd like the opportunity to actually play it for myself though, so hoping they change their mind someday.

This series always bugged me. That is NOT Tasmania lol.

Glad I never bought it so far. This is way more appealing than the old release.

I might have to pick this one up.

I already have 1 and 2 on my switch so I don't think this is worth it just for 4. It's a shame as I feel most of the people interested in this pack would be in a similar situation. If 3 was also included then I would seriously consider it as I love the series and never played 3 or 4.

Wait, no number 3?
But glad I already have the GameCube version and the first + second game on PS2.

I’ll probably bite on these. I’ve never played them but always heard they were decent. U just want to know the price and where it will be made available. This release smells like a limited run release to me.

Consider me double dipping.

Well, now that's HOW you a bundle release right. Still kinda disappointed that 3 isn't included since I didn't play that one nor the 4th. But this is a good buy for me.

I'll buy it in June.

Literally finished the 2nd game a few days ago. Wish we had the 3rd, I wonder why they skipped it?

This is entirely just a flex on Take-Two and Capcom

@rwalsh6882 @SapphireBlaze @Anti-Matter 3 is a spaghetti code mess they Don't see as viable to remaster as the work needed to get it's 6 month rush job nonsense to the same level as 1 and 2 would be like just making the thing from scratch again. Hence "if we're going to port 3 to new consoles, we'd rather just do it from the ground up."

Why is 3 not in this collection?

So Krome Studios is now the new Valve if there's no 3. Or better yet.

Re-release Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 1
Re-release Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2
???????????
Profit with Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 4

Nice. I put it on my list. The list just gets bigger and bigger.

Never bothered with first release cause of the download requirement but this will be a day one purchase.

@Zeebor15 Ty 3 has already been remastered, but it's not available on Switch for whatever reason. Any source code must already be up-to-date and in a modern environment at this point, so porting to Switch shouldn't be harder than porting any other modern game.

@smoreon That Steam copy is not a remaster. It's a port. To Krome, there's a difference, and that's why.

@Not_Soos Surprisingly it's much more simple. Not only does Krome not have the budget to complete the port, the team wants to do something else first since they've been pretty much doing only TY for the past 10 years. For their next project they've been talking about doing ports of Blade Kitten funded by a Kickstarter

And don't worry, in this collection, all three games will be included on a single cartridge with no download required.
And here we get excuses from Devs that they can't fit AIC games? So this tells me they can do it - it's will they do it.

@Zeebor15 What's your definition of a remaster, and how does it apply to Ty 1 and 2, but not 3? The Steam version of 3 has all of the same graphical enhancements as the other two, including high resolutions, 60fps, and reworked lighting. Krome even calls it a remaster.

Might be interested in purchasing Tasmanian Tiger 4, which currently has a digital sale on the US eshop. The 2D visual style looks nice and beautiful. Hopefully this can be a nice standalone game to enjoy without understanding the story from previous games in the series.

wow... ty 4, I'm so excited...
