Thanks so much for watching! I would love to hear your thoughts on Spyro The Dragon, which game is your favorite overall?

You and Cafdicarus released long form Spyro videos on the same day, they’re good companion pieces to one another

Spyro 3 has the most special place in my heart. That game has so many good memories connected to it and every time I think of it, nostalgia hits me. My favorite game ever❤

When I clicked on this I was not prepared for an hour of Spyro but I’m glad I clicked. Spyro is still my favorite game of all time.

Crystal Island in Spyro 3 has an Easter egg I always appreciated. If you say 'no' to Moneybags when he asks you to pay to get across the bridge, he'll threaten to turn you into a blue hedgehog.

I adore the Spyro series to this day and I genuinely never get tired of it to the point that I play the first game at least once every two weeks and still do speedruns. It never gets old.

Spyro is a definitive gaming series of my Childhood. Absolutely great franchise that got me into gaming more and more!

“Spyro the dragon means more to me than anything else”. I felt that!

Two hour long spyro videos from you AND caddy!? This is Christmas 👏🏻

Original Spyro game is the 2nd game I ever played, I think I was 4 or 5 when I played it. I remember unlocking that secret world that you unlock by jumping on those platforms in world 1, than they started to glow and the door opened. I was so excite, it blew my mind. Even now, 24 years later I still remember that hidden world!! I actually beat spyro this year for the 1st time, so much nostalgia!

Glad someone else appreciates this game series. Thank you for the well researched and beautifully presented video essay.

Both you and caddicarus uploaded a Spyro video today! This is Spyro overload!

I love this trilogy so much, there are memories tied to these games that involve my parents doing things to excite me for the games

This is pretty niche, but its just not fair that Mario 64 has millions of Romhacks, but Spyro has like 2. All i want is new Spyro games for free :(

Besides the Sly Cooper games, Spyro is my favorite game franchise ♥️

This game holds a soft spot in my heart. I never owned it, but my cousin Amanda did. We used to play together as kids. Always felt like the cool big cousin when shed ask me to beat levels/bosses. I say big cousin even though I was only 9 months older 🤣

Wow so much Spyro today!

Almost 4 hours of Spyro content between you and Caddy . Good day

I hope we get a Spyro 4 like we got with Crash! He deserves it after soooo long in hibernation!

This with the upcoming spyro caddy video? Movie night totally

YES!!! A Spyro review?! And an hour long too? Best Christmas gift ever!

Year of the Dragon was one of the first games I ever played, It will always be my favorite. It might just be that they were some of my earliest gaming memories, but the memorable level designs and the cast of characters always resonated with me in a way that is hard to describe.

Gulp’s boss music is the most public domain one that was used so much in media. Power rangers, Cyberchase, and Heavy rain for me

Hello Jordan, I have watched your videos since you made many Spyro leak videos back then. I haven't watched much of your new video and I also though that you quit liking Spyro since I saw many old videos dissappeared. Then you came back with new style and this video came out. I like your work and this video is splendid !!! You did a great job !! Thank you so much for such a great Christmas gift here ! I do love OG and Reignited Spyro. Ripto's Rage is my favorite but Year of the Dragon is the Best !!

On a binge of Spyro video essays and I didn't realise so many people hated the flying levels. They're my favourite, especially the ones in the third game! Some tips from my many hours trying to get the best time in these levels: the lower you fly, the faster your flight speed. You can skim through the very bottom of the green rings for more speed as well as getting all the speedboosts. Secondly, any charging you do in speedways will be faster than flying. Staying low and taking advantage of any land to get brief boosts of speed from charging and jumping, and knowing when to do this and when to rise up to take out obstacles was always a really fun challenge for me.

Spyro was THE core memory of gaming I had as a child. the level design, ease of control, creativity of each world, each minigame, each sidequest DAYYYMNNNNN.. I replayed the 2nd the most thoo

It makes me so happy seeing someone love spyro as much as I do. It's so satisfying going through all of the levels, especially since there is so much content and the reignited trilogy has such a nice asthetic, not only is it fun and difficult in a good way, it's an amazing looking game. I'm currently playing through the reignited trilogy for the 2nd time and I'm gonna continue playing it over and over again

Great video! You making videos leading up to the reignited trilogy was the reason I made a KZfaq account, to comment/interact with your videos. You are still to this day for me the most relatable KZfaqr. And there were so many relatable moments in this video. And moments I lol’ed “Who do you think you are? I am!!!”

Man Jordan the amount of sheer content youve put out in the last few weeks is incredible! ive been watching your vids all week and every vid i see has come out in the last month or so, youre doing great! keep up the good work

Wow! What a retrospective! Thanks Jordan!

I remember watching you during the hype cycle! I was so envious of the egg. I’m glad KZfaq led me back to your content!

I thought of your initial review for the spyro reignited trilogy from years ago and wanted to give it a rewatch, I was so happy to find an updated review from only a month ago as well as this video!! 💜

Good to see you covering Spyro again Jordan, this was how I found your channel back in the days of Reignited hype! Happy holidays!

I love Spyro so much! We had the first one before we even got memory cards. So I played the first and second world so much that I remembered everything by heart. I recently started playing the reignited trilogy and have been having a blast. I even shocked myself that remembered the pattern to unlock the flying challenge.

Thank you for sharing your love for the original trilogy. I remember getting the first one( which is my favorite one) for Christmas of 98. I also have the same ringtone for my phone, but as you I always go back and play all 3 games any chance I get every year. These games alone and Crash made me love video games.

Love this video so much! ❤

You are incredible Jordan fringe! I don’t know how you do it! Just when fringemas couldn’t get any better!!!

Loved this video!! I love hearing your perspective of the Spyro franchise. My fave game growing up was Spyro 3. It’s such a comfort game for me.

This takes me back to when I first started watching your content, Jordan, shortly before the announcement of the Reignited Trilogy. The Reignited Trilogy might be the only Xbox One game I fully completed. I kept getting the "rare" achievement pop-ups, and man, that dopamine rush was like crack... not that I know what crack is like. #SpyroIsMyBro

This was absolutely spot on. I've never felt so seen as when in the intro you talked about playing through these games so often that you didn't need the latest and greatest games as they were coming out. I always had my PS1 with LCD screen and played wherever I went, even in the car. Also, the turtle soup in Ripto's Rage and Sheila's challenge in Spooky Swamp are my least favorite in each of those games lol

I love this series and this video made me pick up the games again after many years. Looking forward to any potential new Spyro content in the coming years.

Best game in the series is Year of the Dragon. Grew up on that, and I was *so* giddy to be re-complete it in the Reignited Trilogy. Thank you for covering the PSOne Spyro games, man.

ahh jordan, idk why im just now seeing this! ive been waiting for you to do a deep dive into spyro and this did not disappoint. your love for this game really shines through and it's a joy to watch. ps, dummy jealous you got the massive '98 spyro plush. that was my christmas wish that never came true 😭

The original Spyro trilogy and the Sonic Adventure games are my childhood! Thanks for this video!

Dude I didn’t even know your channel existed. But I love Spyro especially as a kid for those first three games. My respect for you is so high.

Great video, and yes, I do want you to make a video on the reignited trilogy and see if there are things that have changed in your opinion since release cause I do remember you not liking a few things when it first launched and would like to see if any of those things grew on you or not.

Playing Spyro for the hundredth time is something I resonate with so deeply-thanks so much for this, Jordan

I miss playing the PS1 series. They were so fun and creative.

I originally found you during that Spyro announcement phase, so this is a very nice callback! Awesome.

Spyro defined my brother and I's childhood. The first game was always a gem to go back to even if it had concepts that never stuck because honestly it makes it unique out if the three and very very memorable even though 2 and 3 are objectively better. 2 was my brother's favorite and if the reignited version of 3 didn't exist, I'd have to agree. It is such a cohesive experience, it has lovable worlds and concepts we fell in love with as kids. And the MUSIC SLAPS HARD. Then Spyro 3 I always saw it as the Crusin Exotica of the Spyro trilogy... aka really really weird. And I love it! It feels like a great conclusion to the original trilogy and honestly I wouldn't have it any other way. It's so fun to play! And the segmentation of the levels gives some more lore to the levels, since now there are pockets of world building for other places in the world. This video is exactly what I needed this time of year, Spyro the dragon rocks

And it really feels like your new style meets your timeless interests in this video. Feels like your video format but a callback to the old days (reignited trilogy)

10:15-10:30 Protip: Instead of wasting time trying to turn around and run away from them, flame and immediately charge forward. The dog will harmlessly lunge over your head. It needs to return to its resting position before it can attack you again, giving you plenty of time to turn around and flame it a second time.

The way you talk about abiut your love for spyro mirrors my uhealthy obsession with classic sonic

Hell yeah a new gaming video and it’s an hour long this is a great early Christmas present! I used to play the shit out of the spyro games I’ve 100% the first 3 but after that I’ve only played a little bit of the others it is definitely a great series and it’s only a matter of time before we get a new spyro game like crash got

spyro (alongside pokemon) was my childhood gaming

The soundtrack in these games, especially the first one, is so goooooood 💜💜💜

Hey Jordan, do you think you'll cover Battle for Bikini Bottom sometime? That's my favorite game of the early 00s platformers and would love to hear your thoughts on it.

I'm more of a Crash Bandicoot fan but Spiro is a sister game and I did really enjoy the early Spiro games!

Spyro was absolutely my gateway game as a kid making me into the gamer/playstation fan I am today and you can bet I'm definitely gonna be introducing my kids to the reignited trilogy one day

Hooray for original Spyro! My favorite game of all time! It sounds like we had a very similar experience with it as kids.

Spyro 2 is one of my favorite games ever. It's just such a comfy game to play from time to time. I don't even need to beat it, just...Play it. Wholesome, well-playing goodness.

Loved it mate, I was such a die hard spyro fan and before I went into Minimalism, I had all the merch I could get my mits on. For me spyro gateway to glimmer was the first video game I ever played so it holds a very special place in my heart, we were gifted a ps1 by my eldest sisters partner at the time and it was lacking a memory card so we could only play as far as we could until my mum went and got is a memory card to continue our play through. After the original trilogy I was dissapointed with what spyro had become despite seeing some of the games as okay, nothing would beat the original trilogy for me. I still have a photo of me on one of my birthdays getting spyro year of the dragon when it came out! Around 8 years ago I got a tattoo of spyros skull, a dragon egg and a gemstone. This was to symbolise spyros death when other companies got their mits on him, but also to honour what he meant to me growing up. When they announced the reignited trilogy I was honestly so so stoked! I regularly do playthroughs of all three games myself, and personally prefer the original ps1 graphics. While my friends were off playing ocarina of time and nintendo, I was making memories on the ps1. Thank you for this video 🙏

When you said "trouble with the trolley, eh?" my whole body tensed up. Also Hunter is clearly chaotic neutral.

20:00 "Glimmer to gateway" that was a high moment 😂😂💀💀💀

Spyro 1 is my all time favourite game but all 3 of them are gorgeous. This little purple dude raised me

christmas is really feeding me with hours worth of spyro content

Yo! I watch your regular channel all the time and no idea you were also a massive spyro fan. #Respecc and also second sub!!

Great video! I love the Spyro Trilogy but I would say Spyro 2 is my favourite. It’s the best balance between Spyro gameplay and mini games. I also love the intro and outro cutscenes since they add a level of charm and makes the realms feel real.

I like how Agent 9 just watches the Sorceress get out of the lava and does nothing

Such a nostalgic vibe 😢

Excellent video retrospective I love Spyro this game and crash made me any Sony playstation guy. I hope you cover crash bandicoot as well as ratchet and clank

I love this trilogy. I played bits & pieces of each game as a kid but never beat them But ever since playing reignited I love it even more. Reliving memories from the past & being genuinely impressed & wow’d, money well spent. I also like the music & have a playlist on YT. I hope we see Spyro 4 & a good Spyro 4

Great video, I also have Spyro ringtones, Spyro 3 title theme as ringtone, hurricos for my alarm, sparx eating a butterfly for notifications

oh yeah baby, as much as i love the shorter content i’ve always wanted longer stuff like this or the jimmy video. 10/10 will watch the whole thing

I would love a Spyro the dragon iceberg video from you! As well as covering of the other games

This vid was great ^_^ happy holidays!

I've been replaying this series in the reignited series and it's honestly just as nostalgic

Ripto's Rage was my first game of the series, so it has a special place in my heart. I love how many of the levels come in thematic pairs.

I used to order pizza specifically for the free PlayStation Demo Disks. I was introduced to Spyro this way, and I immediately fell in love. Those first 3 games are absolute gems.

I remember my parents criticizing me for playing this so often instead of playing outside. The PS1 started it all for me lol

I remember playing Spyro me and my brother played this game with uncle all the time. I always ran around collocted jems,fly, breathed fire i didn't do the story plot because i was little but i loved it. I got the Spyro trilogy for Christmas with my switch and I love it and i rescued the 10 dragon's i just need to update the game then I'll be back to playing Spyro more

Would love to see more Spyro content from you!

I’m the same way with Spyro I’ve beat it multiple times but I still continue to play it over and over and over and over lol been my favorite game for as long as I can remember

Glad to know I'm not the only one who would have multiple annual Spyro trilogy playthroughs. At least once at the beginning of summer vacation from school, and once during christmas break. That part and the weird confluence of time led to the Hanson christmas album being a part of the tradition lol

The first video game I ever played was Spyro 1. Unsurprisingly I still have a massive attachment to it (it helps that it was released on my birthday). Of course I enjoyed 2 and 3 but the first one for all of its flaws still wins out. The OST of the first one especially is my favorite of trilogy. I can’t play Spyro 1 anymore without going for 120%. Physically cannot do it, gotta nab everything. Even Jed, who really could’ve found an easier spot to get stuck.

Fun little fact about me: I was playing a Spyro Rypto’s Rage game as a little kid the when I accidentally discovered no-clipping/glitching to do cool shit in video games & find hidden assets Some of the tasks/levels/worlds in Ryptos Rage were too hard for little kids and were frustrating but it made finally winning and getting those orbs so satisfying I recalled the baby snow leopard level really easy because I was so endeared by it and liked playing it just because it was so innocent and cute For some reason I had so much figuring out where to hide from agent zero as a kid. The last hiding place took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure out as a kid

I adore the spyro series so much, waiting very impatiently for a spyro 4 announcement if it will ever happen, Year of the Dragon is my favourite as it's the first one of the trilogy I played before i played the past two

Your passion for these games comes across brilliantly in this video - and I completely agree with everything you have said ✨ I think for me when I was a kid, I equally loved the first 2 - and whilst I still played 3, it was always my least favourite of the games. I remember playing the first Spyro game that came out on PS2 (I think it was Enter The Dragonfly) and I just could not get on with it.

On the same day as Caddicarus. Cool more Spyro.

The most bawler part of these games was hitting L1+R2+(square) and getting the Crash Bandicoot demos and Yeti Boxing 2 player minigame

You have an Awesome Review on Spyro

I remember getting the PS1 bundle from sams club as a kid. It came with Spyro and Crash. I played that game so much, all the way up to Spyro 3.

Great video spyro 1 is my favorite

Dream weavers and all its levels are my favourite. The blue frogs use to make me jump everytime as a kid... and those stump tree thingys also made me jump but gave me anxiety everytime I saw one 😅 Spyro gives me so many memories... playing/watching the trilogy games(2 the most) with my younger brother... could say it bought us closer. . I wish I was a kid again with my only worry being school..I miss those days.. I'm 30

I watched this vid and it got me in the mood to finish game 3 (Reignited trilogy), which I had rage quit last year thanks to bad mechanics and me being bad at games in general 😂 Lost Fleet skill point took 4 days to complete, I hate it forever. Not to mention the agent 9 challenges that I sucked at cuz he’s so stiff to move. The tank missions, escort missions, the damn bad dragon egg from Fireworks Factory. Lots of things that took me WAY longer than it should’ve

This was fun!

spyro was one of those games that because of my age, i was only allowed to WATCH my brother play it. because having an older brother means you CANNOT!!! touch their game or save file!!! you can only watch!! lmao, so i do love spyro just from a watching perspective. maybe one day i’ll play it

Spyro 1 is still favorite I remember an the levels, I love all the music and I love that it's just Spyro no side characters or gimmicks, I still love 2 and 3 but all these years later I still vividly remember the first and not so much the other two

I remember watching my sister play one of the Spyro Ds games. I tried to play it once but I have know idea where to go in the game. The game is now missing but watching my sister play it was fun.

I grew up on spyro 3 and loved that game so much. I later was able to play the first and second one on ps1, but never to full completion (the first one I borrowed from a friend and the second one, the copy I got crashes after one of the first in game cut scene). so my experience of the early games are from the reignited trilogy. The original ps1 games do not compare to the new versions at all. I was actually slightly disappointed by the reignited version that made certain level impossible to play. Overall, spyro 3 will stay my favorite game, as a kid I spent hours playing the skateboard levels with my friends. It was a great time.
