Fun fact: Sensory Sweep also made that terrible Alvin and the Chipmunks game on the Wii

I find it funny how one Crash racing game turned into Madagascar Kartz

Now that I think about it, younger me did wonder where the DS port was. The unspoken rule was if there was a PSP port for a multiplatform release then there would be a DS port.

Wait... SENSORY SWEEP!? Thank god it was cancelled, they ported Need for Speed Most Wanted (another racing game) to the Nintendo Ds and somehow made a version even worse than the FRICKING GBA VERSION.

So a studio that had hundreds of employees that were tasked for doing a DS port got their project dropped due to laughably bad mismanagement and among other awful things hasn't leaked the project they took 9 months on yet, I find that surprising to say the least. I guess if the Crash community bugged enough employees that worked at that cursed studio that lost DS port could easily be found, I think there's good odds of a build or two surviving well past it's 9 months of development due to the amount of employees involved that worked there.

So happy to know that Crash content isn't finished yet

Aw, dude, Tag Team Racing on DS would've been so cool!!!

The 2 cancelled Crash games I would really love to play builds of are Crash Landed and CTR 2010

Thanks for all the info. I knew of the canceled DS port of CTTR and I was told about Mario Kart DS causing the devs to chicken out of the competition, but I didn't know of the allegations and the toxic environment at the studio

sometimes i feel pity for shovel ware game developers from the 2000s and 90s since it seems like they were lucky if the company they worked for lasted more than 5 years. you had some exceptions but it seemed like it was/is brutal if you just wanted a stable life were you didn't have to worry about getting randomly fired when things seem to be going well. sometimes it was because the boss made a minor mistake like not getting into the latest fad on time or getting into the wrong fad like fmv games or ngage and they just went bankrupt or got bought out .but sometimes they would just fire people to save money. i think that for some strange reason tech companies go bankrupt less quickly now but i don't think that applies to gaming but to things like software companies that used to go bankrupt very quickly too.

The real reason was because of the politics going on behind the studio making the port. The whole “a DS crash racer not beating Mario Kart Ds” was a cover up. Cause the console CTTR sold millions on par with MK double dash.

Wow! It is always amazing to hear the behind-the-scenes development (or lack thereof) in the gaming industry. That is awful that the employees got screwed over due to poor management, but hopefully they all moved onto better companies. It seems like there are always stories of toxic work environments in the gaming industry. It sucks that if being in the gaming industry is your dream job, you finally land a potentially awesome job, get hyped with optimism but then everything comes crashing down when reality about the toxicity of your studio actually materializes.

Tag team racing was so fucking fun man. I absolutely loved it as a kid

Okay i haven't thought about this port in a long time, but hearing about how poorly the studio in charge of it was managed really makes me seem like it was for the best that it got canceled. It's a shame but it's better for the employees, I think.

Dave sounds an awful lot like a certain Smiling Friends character.

If we found crash landed and it's entire source code, we can find crash tag team racing on the DS. It's probably already found, but some annoying hoarder has it in his sweaty palms, never letting it go to the public because money.

If Sensory Sweep wasn’t chosen to make the port, we would have gotten the Ds version from another developer!😢

it's really cool that people are making interesting crash bandicoot videos instead of gameplay videos

Stories like this are a reminder that this sort of scummy shit has been going on in the industry for years... And isn't just limited to the publishers. While I would have loved a DS version of CTTR, I'm glad it was canned after hearing all of this.

Keep the grind up Loaten! Never knew this about CTTR even as being a big fan

CTTR still has a lot of charm. Feels like a Saturday cartoon with its goofy rubber ducky humor. Nice to have a PSP version, I think a DS ver. could've worked fantastic, if done right 👍

Great video, was there a cancelled Wrath of Cortex port on Dreamcast? Not sure if there's enough interesting info to make a video about it, but I think it might be cool since it's on the topic of cancelled Crash ports.

I might be the only person in the world that likes this game

Aw man, there’s one less bad crash game for caddicarus to go (more) insane over :(

1:36 I apparently can’t hear a word preceding “sweep” without thinking of Morbius… I was not expecting this realization today

Its not that bad

thanks to emulation and an android device all of it is portable now

If only 😢

I love cttr

It cool

I hear words, but this whole lava teleporting bit at 2:25 makes me want to unleash a primal rage for some reason. Thats not just me, right....RIGHT?!
