During the 1990s Rare worked on a new project called Project Dream which eventually grew into the beloved Banjo-Kazooie which launched on the Nintendo 64 system in 1998. Project Dream was originally intended for the Super Nintendo and was then switched to the more powerful N64 hardware . The main protagonist in the game was a young guy Edson who caused a lot of problems with the pirates. The Super Nintendo version was isometric, and the Nintendo 64 allowed for more complex 3D environments. Rare eventually decided to ditch Edison and the Project Dream concept was re-integrated into 1998’s Banjo-Kazooie. Fast forward to today and Rare co-founder Tim Stamper randomly tweeted a photo of a Dream 64 dev cartridge connected to a Nintendo 64 and a TV with visuals showing the Captain Blackeye that appeared in the sequel, Banjo-Tooie.
