Dinosaur Planet, as previously mentioned, became Star Fox Adventures and was released in 2002.

In an interview with IGN, when asked about the game, he even said, “It looks really nice, doesn’t it? I wish they would [use] Star Fox characters so they can use the title Star Fox Adventures. Maybe I should call the team and talk about it.
