Exactly! I have hope too! I'm just so happy that Conker wasn't a forgotten/despised character because on a lot of other sites, that's how he's treated. Either he's "too obscure" for everyone to remember, or people just say a simple "nah".
Well we're here to change those people's minds and make the ultimate difference to our squirrel fella!
Ah yes, WELCOME!!! I'm actually the guy who invited you here in the video's comment section!Hey everyone i'm a Conker supporter too and also i'm guy that made Conker's Victory Theme, I wanted Conker since last year in prediction that he's my number 1 most wanted character in smash bros and for another reason why I want Conker and Banjo & Kazooie in smash bros because people ask for these 2 from Rare and Microsoft to get back with Nintendo and what does these to make it happen, we Banjo and Conker fans think that Super Smash Bros is the perfect revival for those 2 to get back with Nintendo. Now that change because now Nintendo and Microsoft are in a great partnership that also Rare & Microsoft are helping Nintendo with Super Smash Bros Ultimate that biggest crossover fighting game of all time in history that also Rare IP are found in the files, not only that Rare put in spirits the game but also they design King K. Rool and Krystal's model from Rare which makes more sense that may get Banjo Kazooie in smash but if they get, will that be it for just one Microsoft character to get in smash but people believe that may get 2 Microsoft charecters in smash, people believe that it's Steve or Master Chief but I think not to because I believe Microsoft seeing their fans that they want Banjo and Conker to make a comeback so why Microsoft think that Conker will be better then Steve and Master Chief well simply because he is a interesting fun mature wtf character that gives the adults that feeling they want that they will buy him and his game to see what Conker's Bad Fur Day really is for that matter in life. We got Snake and Bayonetta then I think we just need a 3rd to fit the Mature way feeling to complete the Mature Team that Snake, Bayonetta and Conker will fight the Roster, not only his Mature but he's also Rare so why he team's up with Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, King K. Rool and Banjo & Kazooie to make The Rare Squad Team. For a matter of time we just speculate what Nintendo will give us next so for them to notices us supporting Banjo and Conker for Smash, We just keep doing it and show it to them that they see that how the fans feel of us wanting Banjo and Conker to comeback and will give all of their money to get Banjo and Conker back to make the fans happy.
Oh and I created these 3 amazing deviantart photos that I will show you that i'm a real Conker supporter.
Also this is one of my best favorite SSBU DK soundtrack that makes me imagine you are actually playing as Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong or King K. Rool even Banjo & Kazooie and Conker to make the exciting feeling that the Rare Team of Smash Brothers is All Here in your hearts.
Ok then.
Welcome! I remember finding your victory theme video on Conker and thinking "hey, this is something really neat!". Also, I love your artwork as well! While I wouldn't care as much for seeing a mature cast of characters in Smash, seeing Banjo and Conker reunite with Diddy, along with King K. Rool and DK, would definitely be a significant moment in gaming history, and would even symbolize the camaraderie that seems to be growing between Nintendo and Microsoft.Hey everyone i'm a Conker supporter too and also i'm guy that made Conker's Victory Theme, I wanted Conker sense last year in prediction that he's my number 1 most wanted character in smash bros and for another reason why I want Conker and Banjo & Kazooie in smash bros because people ask for these 2 from Rare and Microsoft to get back with Nintendo and what does these to make it happen, we Banjo and Conker fans think that Super Smash Bros is the perfect revival for those 2 to get back with Nintendo.

Welcome as well! I hope you enjoy your stay! Do you want to tell us a little more about your experience with Conker all those years ago, we'd love to hear 'em.
Are you sure about that, I mean the xbox live coming to the Switch idea does seem a bit, of a... i'm gonna say, desperate move from Microsoft!
I compared Microsoft and SEGA because SEGA is a company who was once in the gaming market but dropped out, and Microsoft may be doing that. If they were to leave the market, it wouldn't be because Xboxs aren't selling enough or Microsoft is running out of money. People are just theorizing that Microsoft would choose to move on from the console market, and only develop software rather than hardware. This is because, as I previously said, Microsoft is starting create what looks like an Xbox platform on multiple devices. Nintendo and Sony haven't done anything like that. It's just odd, and nobody really knows what exactly it means yet, but it's definitely strange Xbox is being made more accessible.
Still, a transition like that seems like something a company would do when they're desperate and out of ideas!
This is most definitely possible. I don't know the whole situation behind the Rare spirits being discovered, but what's interesting is they would've had to get the rights from Microsoft to use those spirits!! Meaning... Microsoft is on board! Were there definitely Rare spirits found?
I agree with your points. Putting those Rare spirits in without the knowledge that Nintendo no longer owns Rare is completely careless, and does not make sense given the extreme attention to detail that Smash Bros. gets during development. I think the possibility of Conker getting in alongside Banjo is there. It may not be a high possibility, but the possibility is still there nonetheless. Like you said, Sakurai is a man full of surprises. But all of this is just making me wonder: why the hell were there Rare spirits??? The only logical conclusion you can make is that Sakurai and his team got into contact with both Rare and Microsoft. Of course it could've been a careless slip up, but like I said, that's just highly unlikely given the circumstances of this game. And yeah, no offense to any Battletoads or Perfect Dark fans, but Conker just happens to be the next logical step. But who knows, anything can happen, right?
Right, but let's just hope for the best!
I mean, thankfully we got K. Rool in. He was created by Rare, therefore making him a Western character, correct? I don't think Sakurai is xenophobic, and another good thing is that the Rare spirits essentially confirm that Microsoft, Rare, and Sakurai are all on board with Smash Bros.! Conker has his chance, and I don't even think it's an impossibility at all because once Banjo gets in (which I think is highly likely), I'm sure Conker will get some of the spotlight afterwards!
That's really interesting! I would have loved to see a cross-over of the three franchises today, or at the very least Banjo and Conker. It's nice to know that Rare planned for their universes to be connected, and once more, this reiterates the fact that Banjo and Conker are both Nintendo characters at heart. I feel like if Rare stayed with Nintendo, these connections would have been explored more. Seeing some epic 3D platformerer starring Diddy, Banjo, and Conker just sounds amazing. Conker would probably have to be toned down so the game can be sold to kids, but still, that just sounds awesome. Maybe this is obvious to some, but I also noticed Conker is wearing the same exact outfit as he does in Twelve Tales:
Correct! Maybe xenophobic is a little bit too harsh, but to be fair, if it wasn’t for the huge amount of support and care by the western fans, King K. Rool would have probably never came aboard!
Just Imagine what we could have had if Nintendo never left Rare!!! But still, this already confirms that Banjo and Conker coexist in the DK and Mario universe! I mean if that alone doesn't make it deserving for both of them to be included in Smash Brothers, than I don't know what it does! Also alot of people should keep this bit of trivia in mind, before blatantly saying that Banjo is the only Rare character who deserves it or that Rash or Joanna Dark are more fitting than Conker!
I found this a while back, I believe it was part of the Diddy Kong Racing manual and it shows the behind the scenes connection of the Donkey Kong Universe of how Diddy Kong was friends with a younger, less lazier and more adventurous Banjo (Before he met Kazooie) and a young Conker (Before discovering the wonders of alcohol), I always loved seeing how connected the franchises were with their references and it's a shame we didn't get to see some type of crossover with the mainline games or more of them in spinoffs.
I've been really busy so I haven't gotten around to starting the project, but the goal is to definitely bring Conker fans together. There has to be more Conker fans out there, and I know a good amount of people wouldn't be opposed to him getting in. I feel like we're going to have to wait until Banjo gets in if Conker is going to get a lot of support, but nonetheless my project will still try to get people at least talking about the squirrel. That isn't impossible, Erdrick and Geno are great examples. They are two really popular characters from the same company, technically in competition with each other. It would be the same idea with Banjo and Conker (however, I don't want to compete with Banjo fans). Bottom line is, there has to be more Conker fans out there and I want to provide them with a platform to voice their opinions. Hopefully my writing project on Conker's Bad Fur Day will be enough to inspire them to do so.
Now that you mention it, yes I too think the idea of having those three on an adventure (possibly joining Donkey Kong Country) sounds really appealing and interesting! I just wonder if they still had this in mind, after turning Conker into an M-rated series, but either way that wouldn't have been that much of a problem, since we've already covered up that the character can still be himself without perverted jokes or the use of alchohol (but to be fair, I think alcohol is still allowed in E10+ games, atleast I remember one or two scenes of Ralph Breaks the Internet, where a child is drinking beer, tho that's a PG movie)! Or they could just implement the younger and more innocent version of Conker from Diddy Kong Racing and Pocket Tales, since those two are practically cannon!That's really interesting! I would have loved to see a cross-over of the three franchises today, or at the very least Banjo and Conker. It's nice to know that Rare planned for their universes to be connected, and once more, this reiterates the fact that Banjo and Conker are both Nintendo characters at heart. I feel like if Rare stayed with Nintendo, these connections would have been explored more. Seeing some epic 3D platformerer starring Diddy, Banjo, and Conker just sounds amazing. Conker would probably have to be toned down so the game can be sold to kids, but still, that just sounds awesome. Maybe this is obvious to some, but I also noticed Conker is wearing the same exact outfit as he does in Twelve Tales:
I wonder now if a future cross-over is possible now that Microsoft is getting involved with Nintendo. Seeing a project starring both Banjo and Conker, who are reuniting with their pal Diddy, would make everyone lose their minds. I know that a lot of the members from Rare who worked on those games are gone, but I want to see another stab at a new Banjo or Conker. In my eyes, it's better than just sitting on the franchises doing absolutely nothing. Ugh just thinking about all this is making my head hurt... so much potential for Banjo and Conker. They are two video game characters who did not deserve this.
Definitely not in Monster Boy, in which the uncle of your main character is most definitely not drinking alcohol, yet you clearly have to make him sober.
I suppose you're right!, but damn this whole situation just makes me a bit nervous cause I just feel like it will be a real f#cking shame if Conker misses the spot in Ultimate, cause even if we will ever get another Smash Brothers (which we probably will, but it will most likely take many years), I don't think any other entry in the series will ever beat the magic of Smash Ultimate!
The censors must have went down hard on the Monster Boy staff then, seeing as smoking (which the pig form was going to do) wasn't allowed, although they let it slide for frothy mugs in one scene. I guess it's on a case-by-case basis.
See, even Tobacco is allowed in kids' games, so I suppose there's no problem if Conker shows up like this in SSB or DKC!
But of course, I'm not expecting the character to get super drunk and start peeing on his enemies, in those two titles!
Honestly I feel the same way. It would be a damn shame not to get Conker, I want Banjo at the very least so Conker has his foot in the door. And yeah, I don't know where all the Conker fans went. Must've all boarded a ship to an uncharted island away from civilization. But in all seriousness, I just find it very odd. I know Conker's Bad Fur Day only sold 770,000 copies in the U.S., but still, that doesn't mean the game is obscure or unknown. EarthBound also flopped when it was sold in the U.S., but there was still a cult following for that game even before Ness got into Smash. Bad Fur Day does have a cult following, they're out there somewhere. The goal of my project is to find them! And yeah, I'll send you a PM so you can check out the project once I get it started. I'm not sure it will happen today anymore, I'm going to be busy later.
I think this is some pretty nice news because that means Conker doesn't have to be 100% innocent in some kids games. I doubt Sakurai would want to risk it with Smash Bros., but at least this opens up opportunities in the future.

Yes! I completely forgot about the case of Earthbound! It just goes to show that just because something wasn't very popular at first, in its sales, that certainly doesn't mean it's doomed to become obscure and forgotten!
I don't know, but don't forget that Bayonetta was also a DLC character, and her final smash is pretty damn brutal and terrifying for a kids' game (it could have easily changed the age rating from E10+ to T)! It kind of depends if Japan takes stuff like alcohol and tobacco seriously! But if not, that's not that big of an issue, cause like I previously said, we've already covered up that Conker doesn't necessarily need those aspects to stay in-character![/QUOTE]
I wanted to get back onto the subject of Twelve Tales. As we've discussed before, what's really interesting about the game is that it looked very close to completion before getting transformed into Bad Fur Day. I mean just look at how awesome and different the game's opening looked:
Conker even looks just as expressive as usual! And the models don't look like early placeholders or anything like that, they look fully complete and fleshed out. Also, the title screen is so different from the **** and Plucker bar that appears in Bad Fur Day. A mystical looking book in Conker's bedroom. There's also a lot of attention to detail, like Berri's photograph in the background. It once again goes to show how far in development this game was:
There's a lot of info to unpack here. First off, it looks like Windy was originally called "Windmill". And then there's the other worlds, Balloon Bonanza, Walls of Water, and Owl Rings. Owl Rings is definitely the strangest name out of them. I'm currently looking at footage of the game, so if I see locations that match these names I'll be sure to point it out. One more thing, it looks like the ominous wizard from the opening cinematic is the one using the book. But, the picture of Berri next to the book indicates it's Conker's room... What the hell is that wizard doing in Conker's room?!
WindyWindmill seems to have a similar looking sign to the Naughty/Nice sign that appears in Bad Fur Day. There's a green bird that immediately greets Conker who tells him "To get a present, collect all the balloons". So it seems like this was going to be an exploration type game rather than linear with Bad Fur Day. Anyway, Windmill appears to have a farm-type building in the background, likely an early version of the Barn Boys chapter from Bad Fur Day. Getting to see all of Conker's moves while exploring Windmill was also great. Who new he could be so acrobatic with those jumps? And seeing him run on all fours like a squirrel is really cute. Also interesting to note, Conker is able to shake trees in Windmill to collect conker nuts that fall from them.
I'm not sure what the purpose of collecting conkers are. Maybe health? Anyway, it seems Conker is able to travel a lot more smoothly and quickly in Twelve Tales, being able to pull of a number of different jumps while running on all fours. Another interesting thing to note, Conker can swing on special types of trees to collect an acorn:
The area where Conker grabs his first acorn is very reminiscent of the Jaws/Dogfish level from Bad Fur Day. Once again, I'm not sure what the acorns do, but they seem to be another collectible like conkers. One thing that does remain consistent between Twelve Tales and Bad Fur Day is Conker's swimming animations and controls, they appear identical. Not far from the first acorn is another area of Windmill, one that appears to be an early version of the tutorial level. It even has a scarecrow, likely an early incarnation of Birdy! When Conker walks up to the scarecrow, he says "he's asleep. I'll come back later." Conker can also use an uppercut move to temporarily incapacitate the scarecrow. This is also where Conker finds his first balloon:
To make things short, I'll just add a few more pictures I thought look really cool. There's way too much content in the footage for me to talk about, and I wish we could've learned more/been able to play the game. Maybe one day, but who knows.
Thank you, you cleared a lot of things up for me. So the acorns were used for health and conkers for ammunition. Man, Twelve Tales really was completely different game, I wonder how they came up with the idea to use chocolate as health. It's just kind of sad to think about the fact that there was a perfectly good and promising looking 3D platformer that never saw the light of day. Regardless I'm glad we got BFD, but I'm sure I would've enjoyed Twelve Tales just as much, if not more.Oh yeah, glad you revived that topic!
I can say that by now, I must've seen this video hundreds and hundreds of times, and it honestly never gets old for me!
I always love to imagine me playing it!
And to analyse the differences and similiarities that it shares with Bad Fur Day!
You're right, basically everything about it seemed really well detailed and nearly complete! It's also worth noting that the game even made it to E3 1999, where people could play it, and had a couple of commercials about it! So I'd say it was at least 80 or 85% complete!
One of the few interesting differences, that you've mentioned, was indeed the title screen!
Where that magical manual was the level selection, and I'm guessing that you could interact with the other things surrounding the book in order to gain access to the game's Options or Multyplayer mode (like in BFD)!
I actually never thought of that, but now that you mentioned it, yes it actually is really strange that hoodlums, the main antagonist planned for the game is the one gaining access to that book, and to what it seems to be, Conker's house/bedroom!
If you pay attention to the 30 minute footage video, you can see that the acorns were supposed to recover health/energy from that green nut meter on the left of this image right here:
As far as I can tell, there were two types of acorn pickups (not to be confused with the evil acorns):
-small brown ones, that only replenished a small amount of health!
-and big green ones that replenished a larger amount of health!
The conkers, on the other hand, were supposed to be ammunition for Conker's slingshot!
It's actually interesting how this idea was recicled in Bad Fur Day!
Here is some more information and similiarities to Bad Fur Day, that I discovered:
That Cyclops was gonna be a boss in the acient Rome level, he's actually very similiar to Buga the Knut from Bad Fur Day, so I take it that his model was recycled in order to create him!
And the Coliseum from the same level also resembles the gladiator arena where the battle with Buga the Knut takes place!
The Rome skeletons from the coliseum (at 14:49 in that video), mostly their heads, also ressemble you know who!
Once again, they were most likely reused to create Gregg the Grim Reaper!
And let's not forget the poor orphan dino from BFD (who suffered a terrible fate)! In Twelve Tales there was another purple dino that Berri could tame, and use him to attack enemies! Since their designs are so different from each other, I really doubt that his model was recycled! So, just like Birdy the Scarecrow, I believe the Twelve Tales dino was just an early incarnation!
Speaking of which, there was also gonna be a prehistoric themed level in Twelve Twelves that easily resembles the whole Uga Buga chapter!
Curiously, the dancing sunflowers from Twelve Tales also make a short appearance in the Hungover stage from BFD! It's funny and nice how the designers still found a way to make use of them!
Conker also had the ability to ride on barrels, just like in BFD where he hops on Mr. Barrel!
Another interesting aspect that was recicled in BFD is the ability to rotate the camera to the direction of the character's front view and his face will start following you around wherever you move the camera! It even works with any multyplayer character!
Oh and we can't definitely forget about a big aspect and memorable aspect of Twelve Tales, the idea of Conker wearing various funny hats and other outfits, that idea was also used in Bad Fur Day, but as you can imagine, they were much much different!
Oh and just one more aspect, the multiplayer deathmatch mode, yes Twelve Tales despite being innocent and kid-friendly was gonna have that kind of mode! Not sure how different or similiar it was going to be from the one of Bad Fur Day! But I am pretty sure there weren't any guns and much less, blood/gore!
Hello and welcome!I think Conker would be pretty rad in Smash Ultimate, sign me up. Of course, Banjo and Dixie would be great while we're at it.
Welcome!I think Conker would be pretty rad in Smash Ultimate, sign me up. Of course, Banjo and Dixie would be great while we're at it.
You're welcome, and yeah, I guess they were going more for the typical squirrel stereotype, with all the acorns and conkers involved! Which makes sense if you ask me!
For me, the last two remaning DK characters for Smash Bros are Dixie Kong and Lanky Kong!
Welcome to the club my friend. It's always nice to see more Conker fans
And you're definitely right. What most people don't understand is that the drunken pissing sequences are not only brief, but appear twice in the whole game. Yet they say Conker needs alcohol when that simply is not the case. What defines Conker is not his love for booze, but the various abilities and weapons he's used. Those appear more than two times! I never noticed the time of day could change in Twelve Tales! That actually reminds of me something... Animal Crossing. When the first Animal Crossing game was being developed on the N64, it made use of an internal clock to track real life time, day, and year but it didn't work out because of the N64's inferior hardware when compared to the Gamecube. I wonder if the developers behind Twelve Tales were going for something similar. It would be really cool if they had something like certain collectibles only being able to spawn at a certain time of day. Or depending on the season, the areas could look different. For example if you booted up Twelve Tales during the winter, certain areas could be covered in snow. That theory of mine is a bit out there, but it does seem to look like they were trying to make use of an internal clock.You're welcome, and yeah, I guess they were going more for the typical squirrel stereotype, with all the acorns and conkers involved! Which makes sense if you ask me!
I hear you, I believe this would have been one of the best 3d platformers (and maybe even videogames) that I'd ever have played! While I doubt that it would surpass Conker's Bad Fur Day for me, I do think that it looks practically just as creative and fun!
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that one, it's actually interesting that they still found a funny way to make good use of that soundtrack! It also plays when your riding Mr. Barrel!
By the looks of it, I'd say the zip line ride was one of the few aspects of the game, that weren't complete! Unfortunately Rare never revealed that much information!
I think that stage was just the Windmill at nightime (that also happens in Windy), but now I wonder, was the game going to have a day-to-night cicle, or would the level just suddenly go to night time after you accomplish something (like after you collected a certain amount of presents)!
The rest of the soundtracks as well as the other content of Twelve Tails that was never reused/recycled feels like such a waste!
They were all just so freaking good and promising!
The soundtracks, for starters, were so catchy and marvelous! The windy theme, the prehistoric theme, the old west theme, oh man I could just listen to them all day!
And they fit absolutely right into the game's areas!
It's such a shame that only two of them got reused (the coliseum theme that later got to be the Jet Force Gemini theme song, and the zip line theme that later turned into the pissing theme)! But at least, a handfull of these soundtracks got a remixed version in the similiar levels of Conker's Pocket Tales! But I say that they fit way better in a big and colorful 3d platformer that Conker's Quest was going to be!
By the way, this one is my favourite:
I also loved the ideas that they had for enemies and bosses, their designs and traits are really creative and imaginative!
The evil acorns are the ones that caught most of my attention and interest!
They kind of give me a Goomba vibe, due to how simple and weak they look!
View attachment 195481View attachment 195484
Still, if you watched the part of that video where Conker is battling a few of them, you can see that they possess some unique characteristics that easily distinguish a lot from them!
For instance, I like how they can talk (which isn't a very common thing in Nintendo characters)! their voices are actually pretty similiar to the wasps from BFD! Right at the game's intro when Conker waves at the player, one of them says "Hey you!" and start chasing him!
They can even call for help during battle, when they feel insecure!
And apparantly this time, the simple tradition of jumping on top of an enemy to defeat it (like in Mario and DK), does not apply with this bad boys, you either have to stomp them, perform a tail swipe or even give them a big taste of your fists, that will make them fly in the air!
The normal ones are slightly taller than Conker!
And for what I can see, there was also going to be a miniature version of these creatures!
Oh and they could also ride turrets!
To be honest, I always thought it was kind of a missed opportunity that they did not include these guys in Bad Fur Day! Tehy could have easily been reused in Windy or the Barn Boys, trying to prevent Conker from getting money, and have a meaner personality and express ruder and more offensive coments!
K.O. the Cat is also a really cool and unique boss, that immediately caught my attention too!
From what I saw in the video, that owl says that you'd have to sneak behind him in order to get the chance to attack! When he would see you he would squash you with his gigantic hammer!
It's a real bummer that he was never at least recycled/reused for anything else!
Here are some other enemies and chapters that were planned for the game, but mysteriously, didn't appear on the 30 minutes of TT video:
Man, those charming levels are just begging for someone to waddle around them and explore everything!
I really wish Rare could show us alot more about it!
I wouldn't mind at all if Microsoft released it as a downloadable game for the xbox, even if it still ended up incomplete!
LOL my senior year of high school I printed out a bunch of pictures of Lanky Kong with the description "VOTE LANKY KONG IN THE SMASH BALLOT!!" and put them up all over the school. Some heartless ******** ended up taking them down! And yes, I actually watched that video last night. Very interesting stuff!For me, the last two remaning DK characters for Smash Bros are Dixie Kong and Lanky Kong!
Judging by his appearance and his abilities, I say that he is easily one of most unique characters in the whole DK franchise!
I mean sure, he might have no style and no grace, but this crazy kong would definitely have a funny (and powerful) moveset!
By the way, in case you haven't already seen this, I found a cool video made by Rareware, where one of the animators of Bad Fur Day and Twelve Tales, reveals a lot of stuff that TT Conker's Quest 64 was going to be featuring!
I think that we already covered up that Conker can still stay perfectly in-character in Smash, even if he isn't allowed to drink excessively!This actually brings up another topic that people have talked about. Obviously for Smash, Conker can't use any adult-themed humor/attacks. Even though he could still have a kid friendly moveset, would the lack of adult humor take away from Conker's essence? I think maybe a little, I mean the humor was a big part of that game and can't really be shown in Smash. However, I still want Conker and I believe that he can still represent his game really well, because they did tone down Bayonetta and she still represents her franchise fine.
I never noticed the time of day could change in Twelve Tales! That actually reminds of me something... Animal Crossing. When the first Animal Crossing game was being developed on the N64, it made use of an internal clock to track real life time, day, and year but it didn't work out because of the N64's inferior hardware when compared to the Gamecube.

For example if you booted up Twelve Tales during the winter, certain areas could be covered in snow. That theory of mine is a bit out there, but it does seem to look like they were trying to make use of an internal clock.
The Evil Acorns have a pretty sweet design. It's interesting how many moves Conker had at his disposal, on top of being able to cycle through weapons. Maybe if getting close to them was risky, you could switch to slingshot and try hitting them from a distance. It seems like Conker's moveset in Twelve Tales would allow for creative combat situations like that. I do wish some of those moves were also in BFD, but at the same time I don't mind the Context Sensitive pads that essentially replaced them. The Evil Acorns could have definitely made an appearance in BFD. Now that I think about it, why did they get rid of all the squirrel references in BFD?
K.O.!! I love his design so much. What I found neat about this boss fight is the lightning he shoots down at you as you're trying to get to him. It's those little details in games that I love.
That whole chase sequence where Conker is desperately trying to get to K.O. just looks like so much fun, they really put a lot of thought into the level design there. Especially these xylophone stairs that even chime like one when you step on it!
The fact that K.O. is fully voiced and has expressive animations also just goes to show how far this game was in development. Another thing I wanted to touch on which I thought was super neat is being able to play as Berri. Not only does Berri have her own abilities, but she can also tame monsters as long as they are kept fed! That would have definitely added a lot of replay value to the game because it allows you to play it in a whole different way.
I love those pictures!! Everything is so colorful and bright, I love that type of stuff. It's a shame none of those enemies got to see the light of day because some of them look really cool like that train and snail. Hopefully in the future Microsoft either releases it on Xbox or on the N64 classic. While the game wasn't 100% complete, c'mon now, there's enough content in it to at least be playable.
LOL my senior year of high school I printed out a bunch of pictures of Lanky Kong with the description "VOTE LANKY KONG IN THE SMASH BALLOT!!" and put them up all over the school. Some heartless ******** ended up taking them down! And yes, I actually watched that video last night. Very interesting stuff!
Thanks for the heads up.
What I personally really want is that Rare Replay gets ported to the Nintendo Switch!
