Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
Rare kinda did their own thing and skirted the rules set by Nintendo. Nintendo did what they could to reign them in, but Rare just pushed through anyways.
Please also check out the tits on the melon girl in Banjo-Kazooie and how hot the witch is in the game over screen. Not to mention the native american chick. And the tits on the flower in Conker (plus the character called Jugga)
Ah, I see I am in the presence of a preeminent N64 titty connoisseur
Yes your honor, guilty as charged. It's that Gruntussy that pulled me over to the dark side.
Thank you for your service, I had forgotten how many Rare bazongas there were!
Don't forget about Nintendo's own fairy goddesses in Zelda.
Them titties are properly low-poly.
Hyrule Warriors says hi
The story behind the melon girl is that she originally had HUGE tits which all the developers thought was hilarious, but Nintendo made rare make them smaller, so instead they had her carry a fruit tray with giant melons on them
The trick is vertex colors
Plus: Rare were the absolute masters of vertex colors on the N64. The ground in Banjo Kazooie was AFAIK textured gray with only vertex colors making it green for grass, etc.
I’ve found this claim from a dev that the RAM pack was for “vertex lighting” https://imgur.com/a/dk64-truth-ENjggIj; is that essentially vertex colors? E.g., I am asking if they basically needed the RAM pack for the monkey-tits.
I guess we'll just ignore that Tomb Raider 2 came out two years before DK64 and they had gone way out of their way to "fix" Lara's chest.
Yes, that doesn’t fit the me-me narrative at all!
The consequences of not including a floating point unit.
Tomb Raider was released in 1996 and DK64 in 1999. Three years were kind of a big difference back then.
Her triangle tits are a good optimization decision, in Tomb Raider the camera is behind the player almost the entire game, right? By putting less polygons into her tits they probably had saved enough to make the stuff you can see (her ass) not a square. You don't put resources into what the player won't see, this is basic gamedev people
Lanky Kong listens to DK rap for the first time.
