The Plot is simple, evil Gnasty Gnorc has cast a spell on the dragon realm and turned all the fire breathing residents into crystal statues apart from Spyro who managed to dodge the attack. The controls were the same and the soundtrack was intact which was composed by Stewart Copeland the drummer from The Police. Everything was exactly where I remembered. As I created my first save file and loaded up the first level the nostalgic hit hard, well and truly set in.
The first title simply called Spyro the Dragon is probably the most memorable in the trilogy, it also sold the most copies shifting nearly 5 million units. The humour is still as funny as ever, the gameplay is solid, the controls are as you remember and yes the original cheats work so what are you waiting for? Let’s activate the big head mode and jump straight in. Toys For Bob have breathed new life into the little fella by injecting the usual HD magic and extras that people expect to see in a modern game but it has kept the charm and attitude that got us hooked all those years ago. It’s time to explore the dragon realms and start collecting those colourful gems all over again. Spyro Reignited Trilogy has finally landed on the Nintendo Switch containing the original 3 games Spyro The Dragon, Spyro Ripto’s Rage! and Spyro Year Of The Dragon. I hope it brings joy to the world as it did for me over 20 years ago. What better way to immortalise a franchise than to give it the HD makeover, pack it full of extras and introduce it to a whole new generation of gamers. Everyone’s favourite plumber had dominated the genre for well over a decade since he was first introduced on the NES and is still loved to this day but there are a few other characters worthy of a mention with one of them being the unforgettable feisty dragon, Spyro.
The ’90s sparked a new era of gaming and changed the way we played platformers forever. But on the other hand, owning a PS1 gave me access to some of the greatest 3D platformer games of all time with Spyro the Dragon considered being one of them. I have committed blasphemy and brought shame to the Nintendo family, please forgive me.
I, Brett Hill did not own a Nintendo console during the fifth and sixth generation era. I have been reviewing games for Nintendo little under a year now and feel that it’s an appropriate time to make a confession.
