That would be amazing, especially if it were the PS1 version of Snowboard Kids 1 with all its extra content.
I imagine Dixie would play similar to Diddy, kinda like Isabelle to Villager.
This makes me feel like a bad n64 fan. XD
Well I highly recommend checking them out when you have the chance because they're the most underrated games on the N64 and their right up there with the classics such as Super Mario 64, the Zeldas, and the Rareware games. Yeah, their that good.
Banjo-Tooie
Duly noted.
Technically you forgot to list Banjo-Kazooie separately. XD But yeah, I have 'em all.
Did Rareware literally develop the game? If so, then it's one of I'm missing.
They need to get WB to acknowledge Midway made more than Mortal Kombat, and the N64 is the best console for that.
I hope that means you'll look into it lol.
Yeah, I was replaying to somebody when I posted that list on here. They already mentioned wanting the first Banjo-Kazooie to come to the Switch and I replayed back saying what other N64 titles that should be on there as well.
Yeah, they did.
I wish I could rent games again. Or had a way to decently play it on my computer. Action games like that need a real controller~
Fair enough. That was a long set of posts to get to the context. XD
I must pick it up then.
I'd love Click Clock Woods just cause of the different seasonal stuff and the music. But I feel like it kinda has to be Spiral Mountain. It's like the most iconic location. And Spiral Mountain could also have Grunty apperances.
I'd say nether of those. Conker was never a character Nintendo was fond of once Twelve Tales was retooled. Unlike Banjo, I don't believe Nintendo even had Conker's trademark. As for Battletoads, that series was absent during Rare's heyday with Nintendo. It's mostly known as a third party title for the NES/SNES, Genesis and the arcades. Of course that doesn't prevent his inclusion and admittedly, Rash would be pretty damn cool.
If you ever decide to look for them, Mystical Ninja: Starring Goemon goes for about under $50 and Goemon's Great Adventure goes for over $50 or $60 most of the time. Those games prices are slowly going up as the years go by.
No N64 collector can truly have a perfect N64 collection without having the entire Rareware catalog.
If we are talking about likely characters to support whether than pipedream picks, after Banjo I'm throwing my full support on Krystal.
Rayman, Spyro, and Earthworm Jim as well.
Wrong, actually. Nintendo was perfectly fine with BFD, going as far as to specially promote it at E3 and assist with marketing materials. Just google "Conker's Bad Fur Day condoms" to see how far they went.I'd say nether of those. Conker was never a character Nintendo was fond of once Twelve Tales was retooled.

If I had to pick a second Rare rep after Banjo-Kazooie, I'd say Joanna Dark and Fulgore are the two that make the most sense. Both characters were heavily promoted by Nintendo back in the 90's. Fulgore was the face of KI and was all over Nintendo marketing material.
As for Joanna, she already had an item back in Melee. That, plus the Proximity Mine from Goldeneye debuting back in Smash 64 shown Nintendo had big interest in these series.
If I'm being honest though, I'd just take Mumbo Jumbo and Grunty over both. The more Banjo the better.
Oh I'm aware of all that. There was definitely mixed feelings throughout Nintendo as a whole. Rare showcased a scene of Conker pissing on devils to Minoru Arakawa (Nintendo founder) and Howard Lincoln (President). Minoru found it hilarious, while Lincoln didn't like it at all. There's also rumblings of Grabbed by the Ghoulies pissing off Miyamoto back when it was planned for the Gamecube. There's also the tale of Rare presenting an early DK64 to Miyamoto with real guns, which also upset him. There were a lot of things Rare did that certain people within Nintendo questioned, and I've always felt Conker was one the things that led to the break of Rare from Nintendo. That and the Stampers wanting to sell, of course.
You da man. I sure wish we knew what the hell Interplay has in mind for Jim and future projects, though.
Greedy? Not at all, given that it's been long overdue for DK to get any service. Grunty would be a bit of a stretch, since other Rare characters would get priority.
I mean, Conker is a great Character and obviously appeals to a Wider, more "Mature" Audience.
Here's the thing. In-game, Conker only gets drunk and pisses on people twice. They are also very brief parts of the game. So it's not like drinking booze is a vital part of Conker's moveset. What are vital parts of Conker's moveset is the weaponry he has thanks to the Context Sensitive buttons found around his levels. TNT, throwing knives, a frying pan, a chainsaw, an anvil, a slingshot, etc. Conker has lots of E-rated moves that he uses in Bad Fur Day. I'm not saying this towards you, but everyone wants to focus on the fact that Conker comes from an M-rated game without realizing that he is actually one of the most innocent characters in the game! Not only does he drink alcohol sparingly, but he also curses very sparingly. It's the other characters that are super raunchy. Yes, Conker may piss on enemies in very brief parts of the game, but that doesn't define who the character is or what he represents at all! Those sections are just meant to be quick funny jokes that Chris Seavor threw in. What Conker himself represents is pure creativity. There ain't nothing M-rated about a greedy (
) fast talking () squirrel.I feel like anywhere could work in the game except for the Poo Cavern, and Rock Solid (due to rock boobies). There are also lots of awesome tracks Conker can bring with him, including: Windy, Rock Solid, Surf Punks, Heist, the list goes on.
Well it helps that to begin with, Conker is the most used Rare character by Microsoft. Even with Banjo's popularity, that still gives Conker an advantage over 90% of other Rare characters. Plus, Nintendo was fond of Conker. They just obviously weren't going to show his game in Nintendo Power where kids can mistake it for an E-rated game. If Nintendo didn't care, they would not have made special Conker condoms, or held events where people can get Conker henna tattoos.
I would love that to be a stage even though Nintendo would never go with that option. Jeez imagine the Great Mighty Poo as a boss in World of Light lmao.
If they wanna keep it more tame, How about the Rock Solid night club ? Who wouldn't want to beat the hell out of each other to that awesome beat?
They'd have to make the lady dancers wear a bit more age appropriate outfits, but hell yeah a Smash stage in a club sounds sick especially with all the strobe lights and stuff.
I do. Don't know how much material they could pull from, but I guess Honker could be an alt for Conker.
Me too. Though I figure they'd use spirits for it at most.
Hey look, it's our human accent friend Rayla.
The buyout would have happened regardless of Conker. But I feel like Nintendo and Rare's decisions during the buyout would have been delayed because of them probably thinking about it more clearly had CBFD never existed. Not to say Conker's Bad Fur Day shouldn't have existed, but it could have been one of the key factors in the decision of Nintendo deciding not to buyout Rare themselves when they had the chance.
The was no reason for Diddy not to have a trophy because of Rare in Melee since K. Rool and Dixie had trophies. I believe Diddy was planned to be more than a trophy in Melee, I believe he was planned to be playable. Reason why because in the Japanese poll for the Rare characters, he ranked at number 3 right behind James Bond and Banjo & Kazooie who both were planned for Melee, but were scrapped due to time constraints. James Bond probably for the reason of Nintendo not being able to get the rights to use that actor's likeness.
Neither of them were “planned but scrapped due to time constraints.” They were only considered.
Good points. Going off his moves in BFD, it doesn't seem like they've had to tone him down for Smash Bros. If Nintendo and Microsoft wanted it bad enough, Conker could happen.Here's the thing.

This point here is the only thing that keeps doubts in my mind for him. Smash Ultimate is E+10 and tons of kids pick these games up. I still am unsure if Nintendo would allow Conker in Smash Bros. Then again, there's Bayonetta.
That's a good theory. I always theorized Diddy's trophy was Diddy Kong Racing related, and had to be cut and wasn't replaced. Wish we still had a way to ask Leigh Loveday about this.
