This further limited its reach and Nintendo fans likely had all their eyes on the newly-released Nintendo 64 by the time it came out.
** Finally, the MarketBasedTitle change that removed Donald's name from any of the advertising effectively ensured the game would have no potential brand recognition to work off of. Many of the past Disney games succeeded just fine when the same recognizable characters were name dropped like ''Castle of Illusion'' and the ''Magical Quest'' series, so Disney's odd choice to suddenly worry about the AnimationAgeGhetto seemed rather unwarranted and probably did more harm than good.
