HISTORICAL ARCHITECTURE SHIFT

Rare originally built Project Dream for the Super Nintendo utilizing pre-rendered ACM (Advanced Computer Modeling) sprites akin to Donkey Kong Country, rendered atop an isometric pseudo-3D grid. As the Nintendo 64 (then "Ultra 64") emerged, the team scrapped Edson and his sword, tested a rabbit, and eventually conceived a honey-loving bear named Banjo.
