The fact of the matter is that Dinosaur Planet still had shit like the rail shooter sections on the pterodactyl, or the Star Wars speeder bikes. Even the "General Scales is just a pawn" thing was still there, the real antagonist was Drakor. I sincerely doubt we lost out on a bunch of spectacular content, and I think the anti-Adventures crowd's obsessive insistence how good DP would have been is entirely misplaced.

If it came out on N64 and wasn't "the weird Star Fox game," YouTube e-celebs would instead be uploading "bad game design" videos about how its camera control wasn't very precise, it took itself too seriously and lacked the classic Rare humor, it wasn't as good as Ocarina of Time, and that it should probably have been a Star Fox game because its characters look like something from Star Fox.
