Amazingly, both Croc and Banjo-Kazooie sold around the same number of copies, yet there are few people talking about Argonaut's character these days (which, ironically, started as a Nintendo-related project starring Yoshi).
This could be for several reasons, of course; Croc, despite being an old-school favourite with Sony fans, arguably isn't as good as Rare's title. It's also worth noting that selling three million copies on the PlayStation (total hardware sales: 102.49 million) isn't quite as grand an achievement as shifting the same number of units on the N64 (32.93 million consoles sold). Finally, it's worth remembering that Croc 2 only managed to sell half a million units, while Banjo-Tooie shifted 3 million – which might suggest that Argonaut's series ran out of steam much faster, while Rare's retained its audience.
3D Yoshi with tank controls like Croc 1 has would have been something, that’s for sure.I still can't believe Nintendo rejected Argonaut's pitch of 3D Yoshi went on with the worst Yoshi game ever, Yoshi's Story. Rejected pitch had become Croc The Legend of Gobbos and skipped N64 release out of spite. Croc was one of the best 3D platformers in the heyday of the genre and deserves more than just a remaster. A Remake and a full sequel are needed!
oh god, please let this hypothetical remaster have tank controls. it would be so freaking funny.Oh neat, I enjoyed Croc back in the day but I don't know if the tank controls on a platformer will age well at all.
At least the option!oh god, please let this hypothetical remaster have tank controls. it would be so freaking funny.
Both Croc games are worse then Yoshi's Story, and Yoshi's story isn't even in the bottom half of Yoshi games.I still can't believe Nintendo rejected Argonaut's pitch of 3D Yoshi went on with the worst Yoshi game ever, Yoshi's Story.

Yoshi's Story is an amazingly cute little Game. Its only faults are not following a normative structure and straying from Yoshi's Island ethos.I still can't believe Nintendo rejected Argonaut's pitch of 3D Yoshi went on with the worst Yoshi game ever, Yoshi's Story.
