Trivia
Starfox Adventures started as a non-Starfox game for Nintendo 64 called Dinosaur Planet. It had apparently got pretty far in development with gameplay clips released to the press. Shigeru Miyamoto notice the similarity between the anthropomorphic animal designs being used for the main characters and the Starfox Characters and decided the game should be retooled as a Starfox game and moved to Nintendo's new system: the GameCube. The game was retitled Starfox Adventures: Dinosaur Planter, but before release, it was changed to merely Starfox Adventures.
Was originally planned to be released as "Dinosaur Planet", one of the last games for the Nintendo 64.
The last game developed by Rare Ltd. for the Nintendo GameCube. On the day of the game's release, it was announced that Nintendo sold its stock in the company back to Rare, which was immediately sold back out to Microsoft. Several games previously under development for the Nintendo Gamecube, including "Perfect Dark 0" and "Kameo: Elements of Power" were redeveloped as X-Box titles.
The game was originally called Star Fox Adventures: Dinosaur Planet, but "Dinosaur Planet" was dropped a few weeks before it's release.
