Get ready for a blast from the past with a modern twist! The beloved Croc Legend of the Gobbos is getting a major upgrade this week, and it's a doozy.
Argonaut Games has announced a free update, titled Croc Legend of the Gobbos: Platinum Edition, which promises to enhance your gaming experience on the Nintendo Switch and other consoles.
But here's where it gets controversial... the update includes a name change, and it's all because of those pesky PlayStation Trophies!
The Platinum Edition will bring a whole new set of achievements and trophies to the game, including the highly sought-after Platinum Trophy. This change is a clever solution to a technical limitation, ensuring that Croc fans can unlock all the rewards.
And this is the part most people miss... the update also introduces a Time Attack mode, an expanded Crocipedia with over 25 new entries, and the ability to switch between different Croc Main Theme mixes right from the main menu. It's like a whole new game!
The development team has explained that the name change is directly linked to the PlayStation Trophies system, and they've even added an in-game achievement tracking screen for Switch players.
"Why the new name?" you might ask. Well, when the remaster first launched, it didn't meet the criteria for the Platinum Trophy on PlayStation. And simply patching it wasn't an option. So, they had to get creative and release a new version with a comprehensive trophy set, including 16 fresh Trophies.
This update is a must-have for any Croc fan, and it's coming to the Switch later this week. If you haven't tried out the remaster yet, now's your chance to jump in and explore this retro 3D platforming adventure.
