While it makes sense for the next gen consoles (mostly for the Playstation 5, as the UsefulNotes/XboxOne version will be cross-gen compatible with the [[Platform/XboxSeriesXAndS Xbox Series X and Series S]]), the lack of PC and Switch ports at launch is jarring to many, especially since ''N.

* SalvagedStory: The game addresses a couple of long-running PlotHoles from the original series:
** Tawna's [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome unexplained disappearance]] and Coco's [[RememberTheNewGuy equally unexplained appearance]] between the first and second games are both given explanations here, with a HandWave that Crash and Tawna "lost touch" at some point, while the Flashback Tapes expand on Coco's backstory, showing why she was absent from the first game and how she escaped from Cortex Castle before the second game.
** ''The Wrath of Cortex'' infamously [[UnexplainedRecovery offered no explanation]] for how Cortex, Uka-Uka and N. Tropy escaped being trapped in prehistoric times at the end of ''Warped''. This game takes place in an AlternateTimeline picking up directly where ''Warped'' left off, and opens by showing Cortex and N. Tropy escaping, although they leave Uka-Uka behind.
