The Stamper Brothers created the classic UK video developer Rare who were behind such hits as Donkey Kong Country and Banjo-Kazooie while they were at the helm of the beloved developer. Today, Tim Stamper revealed the opening sequence for, Twelve Tales: Conker 64, on Twitter. The charming game was eventually scrapped by Rare and morphed into Conker’s Bad Fur Day, as Twelve Tales: Conker 64, was seen as too similar to Banjo-Kazooie. Check out the opening sequence to the game in the tweet by Tim Stamper below.

Looks ok, nothing ground breaking, would have liked to have seen some gameplay
This is really cool! I don’t know if we’ve ever seen this footage before, but I’m a sucker for N64 game intros. It’s fun to compare the sounds and models to their Bad Fur Day counterparts too.
I hope he’s allowed to show us more at some point.
I hope we get to see this in full.
Hopefully we can inspire a fan community to recreate it using the original intended sources like they did with Dinosaur Planet 64.
Conker’s Bad Fur Day is a great game, but I would’ve had no problem playing this, considering the gameplay looked like you could do even MORE than you could in BFD.
If you ask me, we should’ve had these games coincide with each other instead of replacing what could’ve been.
