@Lord This is the case now. Back then Nintendo was just as difficult. They didn't allow any 3rd party to see how they optimize N64 games...including Rare. |
I know they weren't sharing optimization code. I mean in terms of sharing art, models, and other assets. Nintendo did do that back then, such as with Majora's Mask, and they apparently allowed the assets from Super Mario 64 to be used for the Mario Party games. I don't think Hudson could have made the game they wanted if they didn't have access to that.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
