That was over a decade ago, times have changed. Don't you know the only reason we're getting Bayonetta 2 is because of Nintendo? Yeah, Bayonetta.
In Snake's defense, at the time the Metal Gear games weren't all that gruesome, though if Playstation All-Stars managed to keep a T rating while still having characters like Kratos and Sweet Tooth playable I don't see why Conker wouldn't fit in Smash, the only real hurdle there is that Conker can't use realistic guns cause Sakurai seems to want to stay as far away from that as possible but I think they could pull it off. Conker could still use his slingshot if he really needs a projectile, he could drop giant bombs like the weasels could in multiplayer, ect.
There's no doubt in my mind that Sakurai could make Conker work for Smash Brothers. Like you said, if Superbot made Kratos and Sweet Tooth work in a T rated game, it's not impossible. The only real problem I would see is if Nintendo would let Sakurai do it in this hypothetical world. (the one I wish we were living in ;_; )
We know that. lol
Nintendo is publishing Bayonetta 2 as a Wii U exclusive. Bayonetta, the overly sexualized and highly mature game that's way more out there than Conker.
I don't know the full details on the buy out but I don't think it was about Nintendo not being secure enough I think it was just Microsoft who had enough money to buy off the company cause remember, games got cancelled because of that and I don't think Nintendo was willing to have those projects dropped especially since one of them was a Donkey Kong Racing game.
I don't think they were being unsecure, I think they just couldn't do anything about it. I mean, Microsoft paid $375,000,000 to get Rare!
Of course.
It's funny, Nintendo actually did own Banjo-Kazooie at one point in time. Nintendo only had 49% stock in Rare, while the Stampers had 51%. Rare actually owned the rights to the DK64 Kongs (Lanky, Chunky, Tiny) for some ungodly reason. Nintendo traded Banjo and co. for those characters.
Seriously; that isn't a fair trade. I am surprised Nintendo went for it, you could always just use different adjectives before "Kong" and make similar characters.
That's... bizarre.
I think it makes sense cause ya know, what exactly is Microsoft going to do with Chunky, Lanky and Tiny? Granted Lankey only came back in Barrel Blast and Tiny in Diddy Kong Racing DS and Chunky is nowhere to be seen but ya know, DK64's instruction manual does confirm that the three kongs have some kind of relation with Dixie and Kiddie so it'd be really surreal if Dixie can't be in the same game as her cousin Tiny anymore simply because Tiny is owned by a competing company ya know?
Yeah it's a pretty odd trade. I can see why Nintendo did it though. I don't think Nintendo would want Rare to use characters that were associated with Donkey Kong for an Xbox title. As an example, Rare could have taken the gameplay of DK64 and just put those three in and have it on the Xbox and it would have been perfectly legal.
It makes sense; I just don't think it was an ideal trade.
I'd rather they sell it to Retro Studios personally.
How? Geno is not in any way associated with RareWare.This is basically a geno thread
pls.
I hate to say it, but I don't think Microsoft should sell any RareWare IPs. I think Microsoft should stop being a bag of feces, and put them in Smash Bros. It'll never happen, I know, but it would still be cool. I believe Microsoft could do some cool things with RareWare IPs. All they have to do is make Banjo Threeie and Conker's Other Bad Day and maybe another Perfect Dark game for the Xbox One.
i think he means a thread all about wishful thinking
Oh....
No... they have to make them Not awful.
I don't like Conker either.
they would of been most likely i would of thought
You'd boycott smash because one obscure, easy-to-ignore character got in?
It really depends on the character. Solid Snake I could deal with, because he's not so foul-mouthed. (Not in Smash at least) Shadow I can also tolerate because he doesn't necessarily have to use guns. (Shadow isn't likely until Nintendo buys SEGA, which can be done) but Conker has bathroom references in his game, I don't think I can handle that in Smash. We have CHILDREN playing smash, so Conker can stay away from smash bros for always and eternity
Conker could have his frying pan.
personally id like them to turn into the giant t-rex from banjo tooieWhat would Banjo & Kazooie's final smash be? It would be cool the see some Nuts & Bolts car designs (even though that game was awful). But I wouldn't want to see the Nuts & Bolts character model, though. Oh well.
I take that back. The gameplay isn't bad, it's the fact that it's a Banjo-Kazooie game.What would Banjo & Kazooie's final smash be? It would be cool the see some Nuts & Bolts car designs (even though that game was awful). But I wouldn't want to see the Nuts & Bolts character model, though. Oh well.
