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.

Whether it is back on the NES or the best Switch games coming out today, Nintendo has always been home to the best platformers on the market. The Mario games obviously set the standard for the genre, but now there are tons of other games that rival our favorite plumber. We live in a golden age of platformers where we're getting both the best 2D and 3D platformers ever created, and the Switch is home to nearly all of them. Of course, with such a popular genre, there are also a lot of platformers that feel more like pitfalls. No matter what style of jumping you enjoy, we made sure to only include the most solid platformers you can get on your Switch for this list.

Don't forget to see what upcoming Switch games might also scratch your platforming itch.

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage proves that narrative adventures can still innovate
Kat in Lost Records Bloom and Rage

At this point, the gameplay formula for narrative adventure games is set in stone. Third-person exploration in confined spaces interspersed between conversations where players have to make impactful, story-shaping choices is the genre norm. Occasionally, a puzzle is thrown in for good measure, but these gameplay segments are often the weakest parts of narrative adventure titles like Life is Strange: Double Exposure. Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, on the other hand, does not have that problem.

In 2014, Don't Nod was the first studio outside of Telltale to show that the narrative adventure genre had legs with the original Life is Strange. Now, many of the developers who worked on the first two Life is Strange games are back with a new game looking to push the genre forward yet again. While many narrative adventure games can feel the same nowadays, the first episode of Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, which is out now, reminded me that there's still plenty of room for innovation in the space.
