The confirmation that the N-Sane Trilogy will be coming to the Nintendo Switch is basically the biggest reason for the activity increase. At least I don't have to waste a single dollar on the PS4 now.
Funny you should mention that. As a fun fact, Crash 2 was the first western-created game to sell over a million copies in Japan. In his heyday, Crash was really popular over there.
I'd say that's his best chance aswell, it's likely that the roster for this game was finalized before the N. Sane Trilogy was even out on the PS4, and a Switch port probably wasn't on the cards until they knew about the extend of both the N. Sane Trilogy and the Switch's successes. If the Switch port sells well then I imagine he'll be a hot topic for DLC.
Ya'll know what that means. Try to get your voices heard as much as possible. I know I'll be doing my part.
What also made me curious is the fact they called Crash a "gaming icon" on the Direct, which at the very least confirms they're aware of Crash's importance on the videogame industry.
hm...Hey guys... Don't look to much into it.
I mean, if you clearly want to be looking for hints. Remember how he said "Crash will be Whomp-ing" Into Switch?
It's clearly teasing us a cross over of Crash Bandicoot and Whomp from Super Mario World.
Just keep in mind that no one (other than veterans and the Inklings) are 100% lock. Playstation fans thought that Crash had 100% chance of appearing in Playstation Allstars but he nor Spyro nor Cloud appeared. I just don't want people getting disappointed because their expectations were too high.
Banjo still has a good chance as he was already giving the green light by Phil Spencer (Head of Xbox) to be in the last Smash Bros. I doubt He has changed his mind. The only reason so far the we believe Crash even has a chance is the Remaster is coming to the Switch. We could be reading too much into that or it could be too early and he'll be announced as DLC like Cloud was.
Pretty sure they just found the one guy who couldn't say "wumpa fruit" for the announcement but who knows?Hey guys... Don't look to much into it.

Not even all the veterans are a shoo-in. We can only be sure on those seen in the flames.
What about Banjo & Kazooie? Smash Bros is mostly a Nintendo Allstars game. Even most of the guest characters have had strong connections to Nintendo (Sonic & Megaman especially). You can say it has evolved but that doesn't change the focus. Nintendo. It's better in my opinion that some of the lesser known Nintendo characters join than a character who has almost no exclusive history join. If I had a choice between Banjo & Kazooie or Crash I'd say Banjo & Kazooie fits better as they started out as Nintendo characters.
They are from Xbox. The character must have appeared on Nintendo before. Even Cloud appeared on 3DS. UPDATE: Sorry my bad, they were on N64. My point is invalid.
I would like to add that Phil Spencer (Head of Xbox) has said that he saw "no issues" with working with Nintendo and would be fine with Banjo & Kazooie being in Smash. This admittedly was during the last Smash Bros but, I doubt he has changed his mind since then.
Don't see why not
I believe the Aku Aku mask would fit better as Crash's Final Smash. It wouldn't make much sense to also give it to other characters through itens.Possible Item Inclusions:
#1: Aku-Aku Mask (outside Final Smash-realms)
Origin: Crash Bandicoot (1996)
Function: Much like the Dragoon from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, it is required to pick up three of these masks in order to activate Aku-Aku's invincibility, it lasts longer than a star man. If you pick up one Aku mask, he will fly by your side in his standard brown mask form, get hit once however, and he disappears starting the collect process again. Two Aku masks turns Aku-Aku orange/yellow and getting hit only reverses to his previous color. The Aku masks spawn in Aku-Aku crates.

#2: Bubble Shield
Origin: Crash Team Racing (1999)
Function: These shields come up floating in the air like a bubble. At first when you grab one, it is blue but as it weakens, it gradually turns green. Leaving it for too long will result in it fading. You are able to press the B button to throw the shield at any time while it is protecting you, and it would be a sneaky move to throw it just as it is about to fade out. Note that in Crash Team Racing and Crash Nitro Kart, you need 10 Wumpa fruit which you collect during races to upgrade the shield power-up from green to blue.

#3: Lightning Bolt
Origin: Crash Bash (2000)
Function: This works a little differently from the Mario Kart lightning bolt. When you pick it up, a timer will start, for about 10 seconds. The lightning bolt will appear on top of the player's head once he/she picks it up and stay that way until the timer is up, and once it is, the other players that don't have the lightning bolt get struck by lightning taking a good amount of damage and knocking them out until you either hit them again or they wake up. Other players are able to steal the lightning bolt however simply by hitting the player that currently has it picked up.

#4: 500 lbs Weight
Origin: Crash Bash (2000)
Function: Much like picking up a lightning bolt, only it's much more negative for the player that has it picked up. Once they touch it, it will be visible on the player's head and the timer will start, if the timer runs out on the player that has it, a 500 pound weight falls straight on their head. However, they are able to save themselves by chasing the other players, hitting them and whoever gets hit by the person with the weight on his/her head, it will spread to that victim instead.

#5: N. Brio's Beaker
Origin: Crash Bandicoot (1996)
Function: Pick up one of these and then throw it on the ground (or on a player) to release a jumping green blob that damages other players by suckling their health and giving it to the player that threw the blob.

Except that Stick of Truth. Damn. I wish The Fractured But Whole came with the first game as it does on every other incarnation of the game.
The only reason Crash didn't get too much buzz is because of the misconcept an absurd amount of people have about him thinking he is a "sony character".
Pardon my ignorance, but what does RTC stands for?
