It's interesting how classic Western PS1 era franchises didn't really seem to make much headway in Japan despite being drastically repackaged. I don't even think Crash was that huge there in the end. Spyro was basically a flop, and the marketing they gave Abe's Oddysee and Exoddus is fucking baffling

This was the era of "Western game = shit game" in Japan. Then again, plenty of Japanese games got heavily altered to sell here and plenty of Westerners had kneejerk negative reactions to anything anime so I guess it was at least symmetrical
