Nintendo accidentally created one of the best-selling PS1 games by saying no to a 3D Yoshi platformer that Miyamoto "loved," and after 27 years it's getting remastered

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos.

27 years after its original launch, Croc: Legend of the Gobbos is getting a remaster courtesy of Argonaut Games, which has reformed after 20 years dead. Croc was a massive hit back on the PS1, but it could've taken a very different form if the original pitch for the game as a 3D Yoshi platformer had not been rejected by Nintendo.

A new version of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos was announced earlier this week, and judging by the teaser trailer it looks to be a faithful remaster of the original PS1 platformer. The devs have not provided any details on what platforms the game is coming to or what new features it'll include, but on social media they say "we're aiming for a release later this year!"
