Snoop Dogg will get a copy of ‘Spyro Reignited Trilogy’ delivered by the dragon

All Scaled Up Reveal Trailer | Spyro™ Reignited Trilogy | Spyro the Dragon

The Spyro Reignited Trilogy compilation isn’t releasing until next week, but the purple dragon seems to have one fan who is particularly excited to play it. Rapper Snoop Dogg showed such great interest in the remastered games that Spyro himself set out on a journey to deliver him the game in person.

Following a tweet in late October in which Snoop Dogg expressed his excitement for the game, calling Spyro his “lil neffew,” the Spyro Twitter account posted that he was embarking on a cross-country road trip to bring Snoop Dogg a copy of the game.

The account then began using the hashtag “SpyroToSnoop,” and posted videos of a giant fire-breathing Spyro vehicle that is apparently making the long journey.

Yes, that is an actual flying drone making the trip, rather than a wheeled float of the type created for a Thanksgiving celebration. Spyro the Dragon means business, and though it seems a little terrifying to have him soaring through the air and breathing fire, it certainly fits his character.

We’re also pretty sure that Snoop Dogg can make use of that fire ability … for baking with his pal Martha Stewart, of course.

Spyro has been sharing quite a bit of information on his adventure thus far. Just a few days ago, he had nacho chips for a snack and ended up vomiting onto an interstate highway.

Later, Spyro posted a video of someone receiving a tattoo of his face. That’s dedication to a character that has been around for decades, and with the pristine overhaul Toys for Bob gave the original trilogy, it’s as good a time as ever to get a Spyro tattoo.

Wow. I'm flattered. #SpyroToSnoop #SpyroDrone pic.twitter.com/WaGKB25yWI

Rather than simply increase resolution or improve textures, the developers of the Spyro Reignited Trilogy gave the games a massive overhaul to the point of looking like current-generation titles. Voice actor Tom Kenny — who played the title character in the second and third games and is best known as Spongebob Squarepants — will voice Spyro in all three games, as well.

Spyro Reignited Trilogy is out on November 13 for Xbox One and PlayStation 4. It is not currently planned for PC or Nintendo Switch.

We're officially in the throes of summer and, depending on where you live, suffering through the incredible heat. While I always think it's good to get out and enjoy the summer, there's a limit on how much sun we can take and need to head inside to relax with some cool Game Pass games. I'm especially excited for this weekend because there's one game here that not only screams summer, but also tickles that nostalgic part of my brain. I think even newcomers will love that pick, but I always throw in two other options just in case you're looking for something a bit different. Make sure you check out my last pick because I know you've never heard of it, and it might just be your weekend obsession.

The best Mario Kart tracks, ranked
mario-kart-world-yoshi-racers-gm

It might come as a bit of a shock if you haven't been paying attention, but Mario Kart is far and away the most popular Nintendo franchise. That's right, not even the mainline Mario games or best Pokémon games sell as many copies as this kart racer. With entries going back to the SNES all the way up to the Switch 2, there have been hundreds of tracks across the franchise now. The best tracks take full advantage of that game's mechanics, feature fun and colorful locales to drive through, and have popping soundtracks to keep the energy high. I've been playing this franchise since it first began and have poured an embarrassing number of hours into each mainline game. To justify that commitment, I'm ranking the 10 best Mario Kart tracks of all time.
