When the N64 and Donkey Kong Country SNES were introduced, there were ten times as many SNES out in the wild than there are Quest 1 and 2 combined today, so there was a much bigger incentive to still support the aging console. It is just questionable if anybody will bother. The Quest 1 still has a lot of unrealized potential, heck even the Oculus Go has never been fully utilized. The pre-rendered graphics looked much better than what the N64 could have created in 3D realtime, but it was a very impressive demonstration how you can make a game for a technically inferior platform look next-gen by applying a lot of tricks and optimization. Rare, the developers of Donkey Kong Country had access to one, and used it to create all the graphics in a 3D modeler, giving the game a very modern and unique look.Įverybody simply assumed that this was a N64 game, and there was an audible “wow” when Nintendo revealed that this was the SNES version. As Silicon Graphics had developed the graphics chip for N64, a development kit required using a SGI workstation.
