Rare was originally developing Dinosaur Planet for the N64. However, the project was cancelled, and ultimately saw a complete transformation. The final game ended up as Star Fox Adventures for the GameCube.
BLG writes: "The original titles are classics with near-infinite replayability. Later releases, however, have stumbled. Usually, they’re hampered by attempted innovation with new control schemes or gimmicks. Still, there’s a lot to enjoy with the beloved Nintendo franchise. To celebrate, we’re going to rank the best Star Fox games in the franchise. To come up with the order, we’re mixing in a little bit of Metacritic ranking and author opinion."
Ever just look at a game and go, "who wanted this?" We take a look at 11 ill-conceived Nintendo games that rose that question.
A playable build of Dinosaur Planet – the game that eventually became Rare's only GameCube title – is out in the wild.
Star Fox Adventures was such a good game. Still play through it every once in a while to this day.
Still makes me sad to think about what happened to Rare. Those guys really had something back in the day.
Star Fox Adventures was indeed great for its time. I find it amusing that now so many suddenly reverie to it as one of the greats or one of their favorites when so many critics and sites bashed it into mediocrity + the limited sales/exposure it had. Glad to see that SF adventures/Dinosaur Planet get recognition and closure on this long overdue “release”.
That would have been neat. Though Star Fox Adventures was an amazing game regardless. So, it's not that big of a loss for me personally.
STAR FOX adventures was average at best, a huge disappointment. This is old news though, why post now? A new Star Fox for Wii U needs to happen
the development process behind rareware games never ceases to interest me lol. there's always some crazy development cycles behind everything they made.
Star Fox Adventure sucks. As a huge Star Fox fan that game suck and Command as well. Krystal and Tricky was the only redeeming factor it has.
Only thing I didn't like about this game was the stylistic shift and the removal of the metal legs on the Arwing pilots from this game onward.
