Instead of being a game for an older demographic, Rare’s Conker’s Bad Fur Day for Nintendo 64 was going to be a family-friendly title called “Twelve Tales.” Rare wanted to change the game’s direction by targeting a mature audience, and according to Donnchadh Murphy, a former Rare employee, Nintendo had no objections to the developer’s decision. Murphy says that he’s glad it transitioned because “Twelve Tales” was apparently a bad game.
Originally, Conker began development as a family game called Conker’s Quest/Twelve Tales, and then changed into a violent platform game with raunchy humor. Was Nintendo supportive of Rare’s decision to make such a dramatic change to the game? Or did they distance themselves from the project?
“Back in those days Rare was the golden child, so when they announced that we were changing direction there was no objections, none that I knew about anyway. I’m so glad it did change, because ‘Twelve Tales’, to put it politely, was not a good game. Chris Seavor took the reins in BFD and took it a direction nobody expected.”
prepare to hate me! FIRST!
Blue shell!
Then Red Shell, Mega Mushroom, then Lightning.
Bullet Bill, POW Block, Blooper Ink, and Banana Peel.
STAR YOU ARE ALL DEAD
I come in the room and smash the damn tv… With a watermelon. The end. :D
⑨
then i come in and blow up the whole room the alt ending!
Then with my last breath I rewind time to just after the first and stop this from happening making a time paradox making the universe implode
Then we all wake up and the dream is over…
Then we wake up from that dream…
Okay, this thread is just silly! XD
Then we play Mario Kart again.
Nintendo is awesome
No they’re not. (Opposite day is pretty dumb)
⑨
Nintendo is awesome, video games as a whole wouldn’t be the same without
them*
Video games would probably still be around, though.
Yes but imagine how different.
Already watched someone’s take on it. Ended in a fight by the lines of a console made by Apple and Sega vs Microsoft and ID or something like that in 1995. Both with internet support.
Conker’s Bad Fur Day was one of the best N64 titles with AUTHORITAH!!!!!!
I hope they make a new one for the wii u that would be sooo awesome
Get N or get OUT!!!
They can’t, Rare was bought by Xbox awhile back… :/
There’s rumors that Nintendo has been in attempts to reacquire Rare.
The rumors are actually that thye are trying to buy the frnachises back, like Banjo. They dont really care about Rareware since now its not what it used to be.
OMG I would LOVE a new (actual) Banjo Kazooie game!
DO IT , NINTENDO.
Ooh that’s even better!
Check
REAL Remake or sequel when?
Where do you see that may I ask? Or I’m literally blind.
⑨
Dung box and the piss station suck
really? name 5 3rd party games that arnt shitty that the Wii has and Xbox doesnt.
If it wasnt for third party support xbox would be dead.
Halo was enough support as it was.
⑨
It’d literally be a tiny fraction of the original Xbox croud that’d buy a $400 console for one game. The Xbox wouldn’t have survived with Halo alone.
And Nintendo wouldn’t have survived with Mario alone. Your point?
Mario, Metroid, Zelda, Smash Bros etc. etc.
Your point?
Red Steel 2, Xenoblade, The Last Story, Little King’s Story, Okami, Silent Hill Shattered Memories (i duno if thats its name, the ice one), No More Heroes 1 & 2, Muramasa, Tatsunko (whatever) vs Capcom, Monster Hunter Tri, MadWorld, Zack & Wiki, Trauma Centre, Resident Evil 4, HotD Overkill, all the good WiiWare titles.
U mad?
Xenoblade and The Last Story are both first party games still great list
Little King’s Story, Zach and Wiki, Muramasa, Trauma Center: Under The Knife, and Strong Bad’s Cool Game For Attractive People. Easy.
Now name five FIRST party games for the Xbox that don’t suck and aren’t Halo.
Microsoft Paint… I got nothing
lol MS paint sucks
GET PAINT.NET o0o
Well Mass Effect 1 was pretty good. Can’t say much about the rest of the series though.
Fable and Halo, that’s all I can think of. But aren’t all the Nintendo games you mentioned thrid-party?
But yeah, Muramasa was good, it really didn’t get enough attention.
Sorry, misread that. Only woke up a bit ago.
Monster Hunter Tri, Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story, Epic Mickey, Lost Shadow, And Tatsunoko vs. Capcom
Looks like folks covered your question, but I want to throw in de Blob. The first one that is.
I don’t think the Xbox sucks but to throw a loop in your attitude here is some games
Madworld
No More Heroes 2
No More Heroes
My Life as a King
My Life as a Dark Lord
Lost In Shadow
Conduit
Conduit 2
Little King’s Story
A couple are sequels but even then I listed 6 different franchises. TThere are
Meh, The Conduit was alright and Conduit 2 was a little bad.
I think the world is ready for another Conkers game don’t you? been a good 7 years
Sicker come out I summon you to respond To my comment!
ok

In the meantime in Sony vita and ps3 land, their skirt wearing god wannabe is picking colors for his next mini. While the two exclusive having console Exbox360 game division is working of Kinect dum glass “COD” exclusive game lol.
Cool Story
Cool story bro.
Its to bad rare sucked after they left nintendo. Microsoft likes to screw up everything.
A sequel is possible if only Nintendo owned that property. Nintendo has studios in their hands that are amazing and could develop the sequel perfectly.
“Well, here I am……Conker, the King……..King of aaaalllllllll the land. Who’d a thought that?”
And theyre making a Kinect Adventures. An equally offensive game, featuring great mighty poo, but in a different way
The Xbox version was much better :) and nintendo is fukin pussy to make any violent games … There is no NINTENDO FRANCHISE that is MA+ , Nintendo should grow some ballz .metroid isn’t violent so dont use that shit as an excuse ..
Eternal darkness wants to say hello
That isn’t even made by Nintendo
It was published by them though.
Eternal Darkness is PUBLISHED by Nintendo.
Uhh it was published by them. And what game on the 360 was actually DEVELOPED by Microsoft themselves? Idiot. Oh, and you’re basically saying that the Xbox version is automatically better just because it’s Xbox, which is just plain retarded. And violence doesn’t make a game better all of a sudden either.
Mad World.
That isn’t made by Nintendo
Who cares, it’s still a violent Wii exclusive
Lol, violence.
It’s too bad the Xbox version censored the swears and it was missing multiplayer.
It wasnt. The only better thing it had were the graphics. It was a very weak remake in my opinion. Multiplayer which was great back then really sucked this time around, Single player was about the same, althought they did eliminate some parts and I think censored others.
Mortal Kombat 2 would like to see you now
dicktendo 64 was even weaker than ps1 and it had babish games like banjo-dick something
lol what?
the edited one that censored everything? right.
Zombi U?
Thats by ubisoft , not Nintendo
No more heroes 1 & 2 would like a talk
It’s also on ps3 , and it’s not a Nintendo franchise
And no Nintendo franchise being MA+ is bad?
I wonder what the gameplay of Conkers bad fur day was like
Why rare is so dissapointed?Microsoft helped them all
fures are for gays
too bad microsoft ruined rare and all their employees know it.
Lies more lies
Believe it, Siegfried von Scrotum. Microsoft have put Rare out of business making great games… except making KINECT titles for casuals.

“I’m so glad it did change, because ‘Twelve Tales’, to put it politely, was not a good game.”
Neither was Conker’s Bad Fur Day I did not like that game at all.
“Back in those days Rare was the golden child”
Too bad you aren’t any more but that’s OK Nintendo has Retro studio.
Most of Retro IS Rare employees.
Retro Studios is the new RAREWARE. There… I said it.
Wrong. DKCR sucked. Why does two players use up two balloon continues…They are two different characters! They should have their own separate continues. In the game when Diddy dies Donkey Kong doesn’t instantly drop dead does he? The hit detection was horrible. Why do I constantly have to push A to make those rockets go…can’t I just hold down the A button…those stages are too long to constantly push the A button. Where are the safe points? Retro if you want to make a game challenging put in challenging villains. Don’t make a game challenging by making its stages super long without continues…that is being lazy. Rare’s Donkey Kong stages never seemed that long and they had saving graces throughout.
At least the game is HARD! Most games these days aren’t. I loved DKCR.
It was hard, but I feel it was hard because they didn’t want to put challenging stages. Just long ones with rare save points.
If you think Donkey Kong Country Returns sucks, could you please explain to me why the hell X-Play gave that game a 4 out of 5?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYzEYxjmUvk
Thanks for that review, Blair Herter!
X-Play had the same problems I did with it. I don’t know how they gave it a four out of five with these HUGE FLAWS:
“X-Play praised the similarity of Returns to previous games in the series, the game’s replay value, and its graphics, but the review criticized the motion controls “that force you to react quickly at bad times, a button press would suffice” and the co-op game play, saying, “If your partner has a penchant for dying, look forward to some short games as he or she will most likely drain the number of lives you both share.”
my boy friend would kill for this game but they are so rare in his country despite the fact its already rare enough.
i thought i was your boyfriend.
It’s very RARE indeed.
…
Ba dum tsschh!!
My favorite part was the ending..I had no idea that was an Alien…it was awesome when it burst out of that dude’s chest. I shit myself.
