'Crash Bandicoot' remastered trilogy coming to the Nintendo Switch

Launches on July 10th.

In the middle of last year, Activision released a remake triple-feature -- the first three Crash Bandicoot games arduously redone for PS4 and sold as the N. Sane Trilogy. But rumors started surfacing that the redux would be coming to another platform, and during a Nintendo Direct today, the console maker confirmed it: Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is coming to the Switch.

That brings all three titles that first launched on the original PlayStation to Nintendo's leading platform, something unthinkable when Crash Bandicoot debuted two decades ago as a platforming rival for Mario.
