New Affiliate: British Bandicoot

Posted on by Motwera

 

At last, we have added a new partner to our list of affiliated fansites out there, don’t think we’ll be running out of them any time soon. This one comes courtesy of Smaz, a well-versed Crash Bandicoot fan living in Britian. It’s the country where Crash seems to have the most love outside of North America and for good reasons. He doesn’t just talk about the bandicoot, but other things as well, such as his projects, other video games and other things.

If you want to check out his thoughts about Crash Bandicoot, why not head down to the Crash category or the main website linked below…

The “Gasmoxia” Grand Prix Season is over. At last, this wraps up the Grand Prix Seasons monthly events (but content will still come)

Posted on by Motwera

Yup, the Gasmoxia GP is over. Congrats to all the Top 5% who will hopefully get the Championship Kart with the special skin soon, Pit Stop items will reset in about 4 days.

Since this is the last Grand Prix for the game, it means that monthly Grand Prix Seasons have wrapped up and will no longer bring new tracks or themes to the game, but new content such as characters, karts, skins and more will still be added.

The “Rustland” Grand Prix Season is over. The start of the “Star” Grand Prix Season is coming soon!

Yup, the Rustland is over. Congrats to all the Top 5% who will hopefully get the Championship Kart with the special skin soon, Pit Stop items will reset in about 4 days. In addition, the next Grand Prix Season “Star” will start soon and personally speaking, I think it will begin next week or so. Just a reminder of what that will include (website):

  • New Track: Star
  • Challenges: Weekly, Pro, Themed and more to be announced
  • Items: Skins, Karts, Stickers and Paint Jobs
  • Characters: To be announced later

Crashy News: 2019 in Review

Posted on by Motwera

The year 2019 was pretty major, ending on a high note with the release of Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled on June 21, 2019, it was a great year for video games, with another successful year with Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled, that came out on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. These are the following scores for each independent platform on Metacritic: 83 on PlayStation 4, 84 on Xbox One, and 80 on Nintendo Switch and on scored 83 with an 89% recommendation average on OpenCritic. There has been even more merchandise that had come out in 2019, including the Numskull CTR Lineup, Pyramid’s lineup of Crash merchandise, TUBBZ and more. Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled has received several patches and content updates in the form of Grand Prix monthly seasons since its release, the latest as of this writing currently running is Winter Festival, with January commencing the Rustland GP season.

This year wasn’t without its setbacks on the addition of Microtransactions (as well as the Fortnite-style structure of unlocking), lack of timely fixes for some serious issues related to the online component and some technical hiccups with the invisible walls and the collisions in the tracks, but that isn’t going to stop the game from being a notable and arguably a great release for 2019 for the series. Despite also not getting an announcement of a new game at The Game Awards 2019, it shouldn’t stop fans from waiting longer for the reveal.

Crashy News is now on its 8th year, in 2019, performance was stronger (and is on par with 2017’s) than in 2018, but the longevity was much better, continuing the much-needed boost from the announcement of Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled, going through the news, leaks, rumours, events and fandom creations. Crashy News has reached a total of 316K total views for 2019. The most viewed post has received 3,591 views (Mondelez International: In-Game Content Promotion for Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled Revealed via Sour Patch Kids and Trident Vibes). Let’s go in details over what happened and what has Crashy News has achieved this year.

Additionally, some surprise events might be done to commence the new decade, such as changing the theme back to the original one seen in 2012’s version of the site… (no guarantee, thou)
