I wonder if due to the popularity of the Super Mario 3DWorld franchise where they basically take a more 8 way digital player movement direction route instead of pure analog platforming to better simulate 2D platforming greatness in a 3D open space, I wonder if they'll make a similar style game with Crash?
Could Crash be outfitted with power-ups in some way to better diversify his move set? (I haven't played a Crash game since PS1, so maybe his move set has already been augmented with power-ups before...)
