    Not releasing Croc on the N64 makes it seem like Argonaut was giving Nintendo the middle finger for not approving their Yoshi game.

    • @JazGalaxy
      @JazGalaxy 2 ปีที่แล้ว +58

      That’s a way to look at it. But it was a different world back then and multi platform games were pretty rare. The architecture of the pa1 and n64 were not similar. Even the controllers were very, very different in those days.
      Plus, the 3D platform market was pretty full on the n64 as opposed to pa1, where it was pretty wide open when croc came out.

    • @GreyWolfLeaderTW
      @GreyWolfLeaderTW 2 ปีที่แล้ว +23

      It appeared to have a lot more to do with the fact that Nintendo and Argonaut decided to go separate ways, and the fact that Star Fox 2 (like Earthbound Zero before it on the NES) was cancelled because it was going to come out too close to the initially planned launch of the N64.
      That seems more accurate given the idea for the 3D platforming Yoshi game never progressed beyond pre-production planning and pitching stage (it would be petty to get angry at your co-developer/publisher for not giving the go-ahead for a project that had little work done on it).
      In fact, members of Argonaut who had worked with Nintendo like Dylan Cuthbert, who was one of the key developers of Star Fox, Stunt Race FX, and Star Fox 2, actually left Argonaut to work more closely with Nintendo and Sony (helping co-develop Blasto for the PS1), before founding Q-Games (which was responsible for Star Fox Command, Star Fox 64 3D, and a number of original titles like PixelJunk).

      The weird thing about Yoshi's Cookie is that not only was it never released on the Wii U Virtual Console, but it was actually pulled from the original Wii Virtual Console just a few months after that sizzle reel trailer came out. It seems there was some legal trouble that prevented Nintendo from selling it anymore.

      Smash's violence is very cartoony and stylized, whereas the violence in Spikers from those demo animations seemed a little more brutal. Take Waluigi's stomp at 24:23. In Smash, Mario would've bounced away with smoke trailing behind him instead of just flopping back on the ground as if he's dead.

      Nintendo is so stupidly weird, they’ll release something as on-brand as Super Mario 3D World and then release the largely subversive Super Mario Odyssey as the next title. Super Paper Mario was the most beyond-Mario RPG of all time, and then they follow it with Sticker Star, the most standard-Mario RPG of all time. They reject ID Software’s Super Mario Bros 3 PC port because it wasn’t on their hardware, yet they permitted Hotel Mario for the CDI and the Mario Edutainment games for the MS-DOS (Mario is Missing for MS-DOS gave us the inspiration for Weegee). They also won’t have Sonic and Mario in a platformer together, but they will have Mario and Rabbids in a turn-based strategy game. They won’t allow for Wario Pool for the GBC, but they will allow Mario Pinball for the GBA. And they won’t allow Mario games to have violent wrestling but they’re okay with Mario in Smash Bros, a game series that’s mostly T for Teen. Whoever is running Nintendo seems to be random every time they give permission for a game, it’s like quantum particles that collapse into a random state when observed.

I noticed nobody else had really made a video covering all of them, so I tried to jump on it. Obviously this is much better than what I could put together, and you guys dug some stuff up that I would never be able to. Great video! I'll finish mine still but man... If only I could edit faster. 😓😓

      Do it anyway man! Just because someone beats you to the punch doesn't mean you shouldn't release. Bring your own spin. Dig into press releases from the time or something.
      Edit: and if you're still worried, or discouraged, I suggest you watch the episode of South Park called "Simpsons Did It". In short, DYKG is always going to beat you to the punch because they've been making videos for AGES. So what? Do it anyway, these are all open topics.
      Edit2: I think I remember a few years ago CGP Grey uploaded a video and one of the VSauce channels immediately went "well dang we were working on the same topic". From what I saw, the viewers overwhelmingly wanted them to finish and release the video anyway. Consumers consume, and niche consumers consume niche consumables. More detailed videos are always in demand regardless of whether they've been done before. Hell I've watched three videos about the Famicom Disk System today and loved them all.
      Don't feel discouraged.

    The Haunt game is definitely one of the weirdest entries. Honestly I like the combination of the Yoshi’s Island + Super Mario Sunshine artstyle, but it seems arbitrary to attach it to a Mario side character than just making an original franchise entirely. It’s like if Sega wanted to make a platformer with the Porcupo enemy from Super Mario Bros 2 instead of just making their own original blue hedgehog character, it seems absurdly risky to pitch an original game idea with an original art style and then try to loosely tie it to the Mario series for no reason. In fact, trying to tie in a Boo school that’s fighting off witches would only add more confusion and contradiction to the nightmare of the Mario canon, it would be easier to have it in a separate universe entirely.
    You wouldn’t even need to change the character designs, the Yoshi’s Island and Super Mario Sunshine designs for Boos haven’t been used in 26 and 19 years respectively, and no one is going to complain (or sue) that the ghost designs resemble the Boo designs that were specifically used in two games each and then never designed like that again.
    Also, I just realized how absurd it is that a game starring a Boo has been closer to getting their own game than Bowser, Daisy, and Waluigi ever have; at least the Boo game was pitched and had great concept art before it got scrapped, the latter ideas haven’t even been suggested!

    • @AmbrosiusAmaimon

      Actually, a game like Haunt would probably do very well, with the increasing popularity of Boo that I've been seeing recently.

That's just my opinion, though. I personally would have played it!
