    An hour of gameplay footage from Nintendo-owned Rareware's "Dinosaur Planet", has recently been unearthed. A few of you may remember that Dinosaur Planet was scrapped but later evolved into Star Fox Adventures on Nintendo Gamecube. Planet Dinosaur had it's own story and underlying concept.

    This build has poor place-holder voice-work in place, but I think the games atmosphere shines through as being notably good for an N64 game.

    edit: Thanks

    You mean Star Fox: Adventures. And I believe all Nintendo did was slap Starfox on to it but I believe the majority of assets and story are essentially the same.

    No, on both counts.

    No, he's right. Dinosaur Planet evolved into Starfox Adventures on the Gamecube, not Starfox Assault.

    Aha, I obviously meant Adventures.

    Planet Dinosaur had it's own story and underlying concept, it was then scrapped and turned into Adventures.

    Remember that Rare had to upgrade the N64 assets of the original to Gamecube standards. Even if it's the same game, it had to be remade.

    @Willy105: Yeah you're right. I was referring to OP's statement that Dinosaur Planet became Starfox Assault (a traditional Starfox flight game) rather than Starfox Adventures, which is what actually happened. Adventures even started out being called Starfox Adventures: Dinosaur Planet, but they scrapped that.

    Starfox Assault was a Gamecube game, not DS. The DS game was Starfox Command. Come on, man! Get with it! :p

    I remember really enjoying Starfox Adventures, although it got fairly middling reviews for a Nintendo/Rare game. All the Starfox stuff seemed really shoehorned in, though. You could tell they'd totally adapted it because Nintendo wanted them to use Starfox. I remember looking forward to Dinosaur Planet loads when it was still an N64 game. Rare was killing it back then. Thanks for the little video!
