I think they what they should do for the next Spyro game is take nearly everything they did with Dawn of the Dragon and combine the gameplay to that of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Does anyone believe that Sierra should make Spyro a rival to the Zelda series? (anyone answer)

So no need to get it on Wii, unless you want to help Spyro's sales grow. I know I will once I get a 360 soon. I may get DotD for both my Wii and 360.

No, that Spyro and Cynder practice thing was just a mini-short from the Spyro website at Sierra, and that part where they fall out of that vortex was only in ANB. They didn't show that in The Eternal Night.
