Forest of Illusion on Twitter released the files to Dinosaur Planet and shared some screenshots of the game featuring Fox McCloud from Star Fox.
Furthermore, although this version of Dinosaur Planet does not “work 100% perfectly on any emulator”, Forest of Illusion claims that “it will work perfectly well with flashcarts”.
Forest of Illusion bought a disc from a private game collector in Sweden that had a compilation of Dinosaur Planet on December 1, 2000. It is said that it is a late compilation of the game and that “it would need some hacking to be fully playable until the end. “
Dinosaur Planet, as mentioned earlier, became Star Fox Adventures and was released in 2002. In our review, we said “Star Fox Adventures arrives as a truly excellent 3D action adventure for GameCube owners. It’s a clear Zelda feature, and not so good, but in my book it’s okay, because Rare still did a good job. “
Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto was said to have been one of the driving forces to transform Dinosaur Planet into Star Fox Adventures. In an interview with IGN, when asked about the game, he even commented that “It looks very good, doesn’t it? I would like them to stay [use] Star Fox characters so they could use the title Star Fox Adventures. Maybe I should call the team and talk about it. [laughs]. “You can read the IGN impressions from the Dinosaur Planet of the N64 from 2001, when the game had already been canceled on the N64 and was being reworked as a GameCube game.
