However, I own this game on the PS4 and this also occurs in that version as well, so it’s not exclusive to the Switch version. The animation during these loading screens can be a bit sluggish at times.

While you wait, you can try out Spyro’s moves to kill time. When you are transitioning to a different level, Spyro is on the screen while the game is loading. This is not so much an issue in brighter areas, but becomes noticeable in dimmer areas and sometimes involving character animation, especially Zoe. When playing in handheld mode, my personal preference for most Switch titles, you will notice that the image sometimes has a grainy look to it. Let me start by saying the animation, design and graphical style for the three games are just as beautiful as they were on the PS4 version I played last year, but with the underpowered Switch, there are some minor visual and performance downgrades. Now, Spyro’s trilogy of adventures are available for the first time on the Nintendo Switch, and they are the same faithful remakes we got on those consoles with a few minor differences necessitated by hardware constraints. It was only a matter of time before Spyro the Dragon had his day, and late last year he got his due for the PS4, Xbox, and PC. Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper, and Crash Bandicoot have all gone through the process of having their polygons smoothed out and their backgrounds made more dynamic. Over the years, the venerable mascots of the early PS eras have gotten their adventures remastered, reimagined and rejiggered for the newer generation. I am deadly afraid of Time Trials and I am not good at sports games unless you count Golf Story. I enjoy everything from JRPGs like Ni No Kuni to cutesy 3D platformers like Banjo Kazooie, to savage God of War brutality. Oh hi, I’m Johnny Malloy, a lifelong gamer who not only was lucky enough to have grown up in the golden era of the NES but is also old enough to remember ColecoVision and even owned and knows what an Intellivision is.
