Conker the Squirrel Social - B A R N B O Y Z

[(Buddha)]

Hello! I am Sonic Buddha, one of the biggest Conker fans (Be sides AlphaZealot ...) to be here!
I really love the Conker franchise, and I want to start a social about Conker the Squirrel.
I first saw Conker when I saw The Great Might Poo from the N64 version on Youtube. Knowing Conker's bad fur day was an M rated game, I stayed away from it. Over the years, I finally did some research on the game. That was when I found out what Conker was. A rude, greedy alcoholic squirrel. I instantly fell in love with the game. It was so ridiculous that it was perfect.
Now that I am older, I figured out how to get the game and play it.
So, I would like to have a social for the franchise. From Conker's Pocket tail to Project Spark!
All talk about Conker is accepted as well as some randomness.
This is a social however so on topic discussion is needed. And if there are any debates, please be civil about them.
Well, thats it! Please follow the Smash World Forum rules and have fun!

Bad Fur Day was and still is the best game ever made imo. Still play the multiplayer mode on a daily basis.

Eh, sorry for a really late reply.
All I have is a Rom. Right now I am currently at Rock Solid. I cant seem to get that first rock guy into the tunnel...
Anyway, I have to give points to BFD to have less censorship. Because, In Live and Reloaded, it was not as funny.
But Live and reloaded had graphics that reminded me of Star Fox adventures. And I really liked that games look.
I wish we could get a Rom hack of Live and Reloaded's online. Like people could make servers and what not just for the multiplayer.

 

[COLINBG]

I haven't played Live & Reloaded; I prefer the retro graphics, and the original uncensorship. I've only played it on a real N64 with the OG controller. The cartridge was a ***** to get back (a childhood friend had it, and I bought it a few years ago) because it's so rare and it's pretty expensive though.

But an online multiplayer version would be pretty sweet. I'd play that for sure.

Microsoft recently made a emulator for XBOX One. It is a 360 emulator so maybe its possible to emulate Xbox original games.
Also, Favorite character?

That's cool. I haven't heard of it but I'll look it up.

As for the character, man, that's so hard to answer. There's too many great characters. Gregg the Grim Reaper is definitely up there even if we don't see him much. Same goes for Don Weaso. But if I had to choose one only, I'd pick Conker!

Count Batula had some of the best moments in the game, too. ''Ah! Velcome to my house. Please enter of zyour own free vill. And bring vith you some of the happiness that is so evident in your face, and so lacking in my own.''

True. Many great characters. Mr. Cog is pretty funny. Or his brother. "This is delicious!" And yeah Greg is hilarious. And Birdy is just random. I really like Professor Von Kripplespac. "Just throw this out ze window!"
Also the emulator I was talking about, Microsoft made the Xbox one like the Wii U. The Wii U can get to the Wii menu.

This has got to be one the best game endings. The music though! But it's so sad at the same time.

It is one of the few games where the comical main character gets a bad end.
And thanks to Microsoft, We don't get Conker's other bad fur day. And if we do, it will be different since Chris got fired from Rare.
Bless this man.

Also, Dakota better make Conker's big reunion good because so far, Project park Conker is not looking too good.

I saw a Let's Play series of this and it was pretty hilarious. I am not sure if the gameplay is enough for me to want to try it completely.

But, in terms of other good random Rareware games.

Never played Get force Gemini. But I heard its good.
Also, with Conker's bad fur day, the gameplay is like Super Mario 64 but with different mechanics. Like context sensitive pads. It is a really fun game and I know we cant talk to much into roms, but I recommend you get one of Conker BFD.

 

[COLINBG]

The game is not for everyone because it has a particular humour and a ****ed up storyline/characters but that's also what makes it so good. Definitely try it out. The gameplay is kind of secondary, but it's pretty good. It also has one of the best multiplayer modes I've seen.

You can tell a game is funny when a bee uses her hive as a turret.
Also if there is a boss thats literally a big poo.
Even though the potty humor is immature, Its so funny because we did not expect is to be in the game.

 

[COLINBG]

Yeah that's a big part of the game. It was originally a family game thus the cute-looking graphics. Then they kept the graphics but decided to add funny but darker content. Similar to how Happy Tree Friends is, though not as gory. That's why it's a humour that's not for everyone, but it's definitely funny if you can appreciate it (think Monthy Python).

This (Development & Marketing on wikipedia) is an interesting read about why and how it became like that.

Uh, I read alot on this game.
Like, Conker's bad fur day was a name Chris had suggested during development of the kid friendly version.
And the game was advertised on certain magazines.
If you know any other Conker lovers, you should bring them here.
The only people on Smashboards that I know like Conker are you, me and AlphaZealot ...
And this "social does not have much activity...

 

[COLINBG]

I know many, but none are on smashboards. I found the social through your signature, so I'll probably add the link to mine, too, and hopefully gather more people. Sadly, socials about things unrelated to smash tend to be less frequented, and Conker isn't exactly a mainstream game either. Eh.

Sheesh, I am always late for replys...
Anyway, I hope rare replay can boost Conker's popularity... I wonder if Live and reloaded will be on it.

 

[COLINBG]

Do you know how much Live & Reloaded boosted the popularity of BFD back when it came out? I was still to young back then and didn't heard of L&R until a few years later so I'm not sure of it.

But from what I've read, the critics were favorable and it was a pretty popular game for a couple of years but it looks like the hype has died out. I like to view it as Pocket Tales being smash 64, BFD being melee, L&R being brawl, and now it would be nice to have a newer and well-made conker game (smash 4) somewhere in the near future.

As you said, maybe Rare Replay will be able to somehow boost its popularity. Like how Portal got famous when The Orange Box came out. I haven't heard that much of Project Spark so I think an entirely new Conker game would be amazing. Or having him in smash 4 as DLC! They'd never do that because it's 3rd party and they wouldn't want to be associated with Conker, but it would be so cool.

 

[Nixon Corral]

I've long wanted to play Conker but it's always been prohibitively expensive (since I prefer not to emulate). Glad Rare Replay is coming out. I look forward to finally playing this classic that has eluded me for so long. As a big fan of the 3D platforming genre and Rare's sense of humor, I think it will be worth the wait!

If. Conker got a new game, I would need. Greg to let me have another chance. And knowing how kids can just play whatever they in this time, Conker's popularity will rise. The age of gamers are very diffent between generations so older people will get Rare Replay for nastalgia. I am sure they will show the younger people hat Conker is.
Also, I never liked Live and Reloaded's Conker as much Bad fur day's but Really love the jacket so I drew his.

 

[AlphaZealot]

@ (Buddha) Conker was awesome...really want a sequel to it. Live and reloaded didn't really capture me the way the original did.

Multiplayer is really fun. I think I even played it more than the main game. This game really needs a "true" sequel.

Sorry for late replys, I was at church.
@ AlphaZealot I have to agree. I liked both alot, but, the first is the best. I laughed so much from it. Sadly, I did not have it for the N64 So, I can't play anything but the story mode. But Heist looks so fun. And, I hope Rare will realize what they have done by firing Chris. With any luck, we will see Conker's other bad fur day in the future. If we do though, I wont like Birdy dieing. :<
Flight, the main game has good laugh though. I spent about an hour running back and forth next to Mr. Cog just to hear him get mad. But sadly, my old laptop needs some repairing so until then, I am stuck on Rock Solid. And, if there is a second game, I would buy it depending on the maker. If Chris did not make it, I would be skeptical.

I've always been a fan of conker ever since n64 days but thing that i find funny is in the ending he looks at the bazooka but grabs a sword.

I would have picked the sword. Its called a Katana. It was a sword used by Samurai's. It was such a sharp sword, that if could slice through things and the thing that was cut, Would be very clean. If yo have played Fruit Ninja, you will see that the fruit are cut perfectly in half. Now if the fruit were heads... I think you get it.

 

[COLINBG]

And considering he was against Heinrich (the alien) and in a small room, the sword was clearly the better choice. A bazooka for close range combat against this kind of foe is not ideal.
