Aw, too bad. 😟
No Ty Tasmanian Tiger 3 since it was published by Activision.
I got the GameCube version for the third game but PS2 version for the first and second games.
Good thing I was waiting for something like this to come along. The 1st was my fav & I 100% everything there was in it.
@Anti-Matter If you wanna know why, it's because they are not very proud of it. They'd rather give the game a full remake
Oh finally, they finally dropped a physical cart containing the first game, Bush Rescue, and Nigh- Oh wait, the third game on the cart is actually the 4th game that's also a 2D platformer.
Eh, I might get it just to have a physical copy but not having Night of the Quinkan kind of kills the deal.
@Samalik @Anti-Matter: I don't think it's due to Activision publishing the original 3rd game since you can buy a remastered version of it on Steam but I could be wrong.
@Bonggon5 The first two games aren't too bad as far as platforming games go (although 100%-ing 'em is a pain) but I can't speak for the 3rd and 4th game since I've never played 'em.
I got the first one and just find myself thinking I preferred the feel of the GameCube version - one of those examples where just flipping the HD resolution switch seems to diminish rather than enhance.
I'll still probably end up getting this, cos I'm a sucka for collections on a cart, but the way they've gone about releasing these games seems a bit weird.
Already have the first 2 digital. Those 2 are rated "Overwhelmingly Positive" on Steam (the highest possible user rating).
Love to see it, hope those getting either edition will enjoy this - maybe me included, will have to see if my usual retailer here in Italy will have it or not or if I can afford importing it unless it somehow gets straight up released in Europe as well at some point (seriously doubt it, but who knows)!
@Anti-Matter Not an Activision issue. Krome remastered 3 as well so I don't know why they won't port that one to Switch.
While a vastly superior physical release to the last one (which only included the second game as a code), why, oh, why did they exclude the third game?!
No matter how embarrassed they might be in hindsight, this is such a stupid and off-putting move.
They haven't done the third game due to time, money, and they would like to remake it rather than remaster it from what I've gathered.
I'm confused it says later this month but in the Article it says 2025
@Peirceroyal
Don’t be confused. It’s a typo. It releases the 25 of this month.
Now that it’s been confirmed that it’s all on the cartridge, it’s a definite purchase from me.
I never paid too much attention to this franchise, but damn that looks rough. They need a good art director.
I dare anyone to find me a worse colour palette than that promotional image.
