A casual glance at the N64 controller shows they were already hedging their bets. I assume the failure of the game would have simply made them revert back to largely 2D titles for the series instead, although that's not completely clear seeing as how the 2D games continue(d) to outperform the 3D ones, but 2D disappeared for over a decade.
