Yes I agree with that. It’s definitely meant to be a party game, multiplayer mayhem and all that. I would say my original vision for this game was a cross between Super Smash Bros and Bomberman. Both of which I would consider party games best played on consoles.
PC just happens to be the easiest platform to develop for, especially with engines like Panda3D. I admit I am still a newbie here, a game developer wannabe. I was considering XNA though before I found Panda, so maybe it’s time to go back and take another look.
I loved Crash Bash when I was little as well! I had almost forgotten about that game. I think we still have the disc lying around somewhere! 
Yeah maybe I will go back and take a look at it and do some research.
