9 things we want from Spyro A Realm Beyond

Spyro A Realm Beyond didn't give us MUCH to go on...but it certainly gave us enough to think about to begin hoping for what it could be. From the new flight mechanics, the presentation, the potential minigames...we wanted to talk about what we do, and don't, want from the return of the classic Spyro formula.
