The idea that Nintendo would somehow not come up with the idea to make a 3D platformer for their 3D console, and that they would need to take that idea from someone else is absurd.

Always doubted the claim that Nintendo stole the idea for a 3D Platformer from Argonaut. It genuinely felt like something brought up out of spite.

San's ever-changing story is reminding me of a certain "first american to ever work on a Sonic game"

Is "A platformer but in 3D" really that unique of an idea? I'm sure countless game devs back then had the same idea

My favorite part about Jez San's alleged meeting with Miyamoto is the fact that Miyamoto isn't fluent in English, so even if they did meet, I can't imagine a conversation between them being that complicated. I mean, discussing a prototype that might not have ever reached Miyamoto in the first place is one thing, but then discussing the royalties from the FX chip? Sounds a bit unbelievable to me.<br><br>I have nothing against the guy, but the inconsistency of his story and his claims, lead me to believe he's exaggerated the rejection so much that at this point he doesn't know what actually happened.

So Argonaut pitched some 3D games right when every developer in the world was pitching 3D games, and then a couple of years later they went “we was basically makin’ mario 64 governor!!!” Then the guy repeated it for thirty years and bam—rumor becomes legend

Jez San getting more confident over time that Nintendo stole the Yoshi Racers concept for Mario 64 isn't all that surprising if you read into research on eyewitness memory. People grow increasingly confident about their memories with repeated assessments at the cost of accuracy, meaning that the initial, unconfident report is typically a lot more reliable than the later, 100% certain one.

The rumour I had heard was that Croc wasn't made to spite Yoshi, but was made as a prototype for a Yoshi platformer.<br>And when Nintendo allegedly rejected the idea, development continued as its own IP.

Miyamoto didn't thank San. He thanked Tommy Tallarico for coming up with it.
