Crash Bandicoot Gets Humorous New Live-Action Ad

We're not too far off from playing the newly remastered Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, which consists of three classic Crash games compiled into a nicely remade plethora of games for PlayStation 4. With that, Activision has picked up on an old trait that made the Bandicoot popular the first time around – putting a dude in a Bandicoot suit into a humorous situation.

Granted, he's not invading Nintendo headquarters this time around, as he so infamously did with the debut of the original Crash Bandicoot in the 90's. But he's getting pumped up nevertheless, as the TV ad, which you can see above, has him going through a series of workouts in a gym.

He first gets his start doing some stretches alongside a trainer, looking to do a "winning" pose for (probably) when he wins a stage and collects all that he needs to. He then proceeds to pick up a gigantic truck tire with the help of another trainer, talking about feeling the burn in the process. And, to sum it all up, he does a victory dance at the end, ready to make his debut on the PlayStation 4.

Granted, it's not as inspired as Crash's visits to Nintendo HQ with a truck full of TV's (all connected to a PlayStation, mind you), but we like where Activision's mind is at when it comes to the "Crash in a suit" mentality.

The collection features a number of goodies that players can dig into, including three games – Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back and Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped. It also enables you to play as Crash's sister Coco Bandicoot in all of the games, a nice little addition in case you want to seem what she's capable of.

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy releases on June 30th for PlayStation 4.
