conker\'s bad fur day?

LMAO! Everyone, go to that web site and check out the commercials! Their fricken hilarious! IMO, this game is definately not for kids and it obviously not aimed at kids.

You should be glad the 64dd didn\'t make it over here, it\'s pretty worthless outside the cool F-Zero construction kit. Nintendo made a wise choice to not release a system they knew was outdated. If Sega could have had the same foresight with the SegaCD and the 32x, they might be a little more financially viable these days.

Exactly. I may find one on Ebay one night and import it (despite the cost). But, Nintendo did make a good choice on not releasing it here. It would of lost money and damaged a reputation in a critical time.

did someone say reputation?

Reputation for putting out hardware that will succeed. Unlike 3DO, Sega, Neo-Geo, Phillips, and a few others, when Nintendo puts out a product you can count on it being supported for a long time. They learned from their Virtual Boy fiasco and they didn\'t repeat it. I think that is what he means.

I think something like the Virtua Boy could be pulled off quite well today using existing technology for a decent price.
It would be pretty awesome.

It wasn\'t just the technology that made the Virtual Boy bad. It was hard to use, you had to stay in a certain hunched over position to play, and it was not very portable. I don\'t think more powerful hardware would help it much.

yea virtual boy - was not portable and playable at the same time if you ask me - now if you could have strapped it to your head - that would be cool

but even though the games were hard to play - nintendo could have done a lot better than that if you ask me

There is obviously a market for this \'immature, crass humour\' or else movies such as \'There\'s Something About Mary\' and \'Scary Movie\' would have bombed like no tomorrow.

No-one gave a damn when Conker was a cute little squirrel so Rare came up with a brilliant idea to do something that up until now has never been done before.

Whether you like it or not, its a brilliant idea to try and pique interest in the game.

Virtual Boy hard to play? Balderdash! I had no problem playing WarioLand last night. And fyi, you dont have toplay it hunched over, I play it while lying on my back on the sofa.

umm....I think this topic is pointless and should be moved to the console discussion forum

Exactly. If I played one for over 15 mintues I walked away with a bad headache and neck cramp. It was a good idea in theory, but just didn\'t work out right. It had a bunch of limits, that couldn\'t be over-looked.

Still, Nintendo had a reputation for systems that didn\'t fail. Once the Virtual Boy came out, it failed, and if they would of released the 64DD worldwide, it would of damaged their reputation severely. I still don\'t understand why they bothered to release it at all. The support wasn\'t there, it didn\'t offer any "must have" extras. And died just as fast as it came out.


And yes there is room for potty humor. But, I can\'t see dedicating 10+ hours to beating a game filled with it. After 2 hours or so, potty humor and "shock value" wears thin.

um, if yer not 17, nintendo doesnt think yer old enough to view that content

Conker\'s Bad Fur Day will be available March 5, for a Manufacturer\'s Suggested Retail Price of $69.95*.

Have you even watched a single video of the game, once? Particular references in the game are definatly not suitable for younger viewers. As Soulgrind pointed out, Conker would be suitable to anyone over 15 in Australia but since the US government has deemed that young americans don\'t mature till they\'re 17 and over then they are the guidelines Nintendo must follow. This game is definatly not suitable for a teen rating, if ESRB shared you "Nintendo is immature view" the game would be available for 5 year olds. The Fact is the ESRB deem the content unacceptable for younger viewers and Nintendo (being mindful of their 15+ year history image) is enforcing that point which is very understandable. On the other hand if Sony released such a game im sure they couldn\'t give a fu[/i]ck who bought the game as long as they managed to make a healthy profit since they have no video game image to maintain like Nintendo. Also not to mention your views on the game would be completly opposite.

i wouldnt pay 5$ for this crap

again, nintendo = desperate to try and regain to demographic of gamers that made them the comany they are. they alienated the "older" crowd by releasing kiddie game after kiddie game, after kiddie game. i got a hint for nintendo, tho

ITS TOO LATE!

If you\'re not interested in the game then why bother making a topic about it, just to deliberatly bash it and create a flame war on your own forum that you will not win.

How \'effin sad are you mate :rolleyes:

Bwa Ha, knocking the ever humourous brittish accent when (no offence )the typical slang American accent proves to be the overall most pitiful use of the English language anywhere in the world. Jerry Springer and Ricki Lake are fine examples - "It\'s like this Ricki, it\'s like, it\'s like, you know, it\'s like", please :rolleyes:

if it wasnt for rare and pokemon, nintendo would be bankrupt. end of story

You hate a video game company, what\'d they do rape your children, murder your family, poisen your dog. Or are you still having a little 10 year old girl sook for falling victim to the Nintendo 64 hype  5 years ago and buying a console you didn\'t like.

So you actually hate a video game company, ridiculous. I think you\'re in the need for some professional psychiatric help mm.

delaying the N64 for years, going with carts for the N64, ripping us off with rumble paks and ram upgrades, not realesing the 64dd, pissing squaresoft off, making controllers that would give me carple tunnel syndrome, alienating any gamer older than 14, etc etc

- If you had a problem with N64 Delays and Carts then why bother buying the machine in the first place.

- If you didn\'t like the innovative rumble packs (that Sony soon copied, gee must of been good for some reason) then why buy them.

- If you didn\'t like the ram upgrades then why buy the few games (not like you like them anyway) that require the ram expansion.

- Ask yourself, did you honestly have any plans to buy the 64DD, no of course not, so why bring it up.

- But remember you have your fabled shelf with about 9 consoles sitting on it, you know the shelf you constantly bring up in debates to prove you\'re a big multi-platform gamer that gives you the grounds to pointlessly bash other consoles. So why should it matter to you which console Final Fantasy is on, why does it matter, you still own the game right, or do you, remembering it is a pretty kiddy series after all.

- Whinge about the controller all you wish, there are plenty of 3rd party alternatives and if none of them float your boat then simply don\'t buy the console at all.

- Finally if you feel alienated just for playing a few video games then you must be a sad insecure individual. Don\'t like the selection then don\'t buy it, simple. Oh wait you still did, damn.

Honestly what\'s the difference between you mindlessly bashing Nintendo (seems alright to the people on this forum as your word is the gospel to them) and me mindlessly bashing Sony that everyone hates me for. The answer is that there is none, unless your argument is constructive and intelligent then it\'s simple trolling. You and anyone who supports your coments yet have, in the past flammed me for my comments on Sony is a hypocrite, a big hypocrite.

Hate them? No. I\'ve constantly said I will buy a GC and GBA. So there is no way I can hate them. Do I think they make some stupid moves? Yep. Yes, Rare made this game. I know that. But, from the looks of it, all it is , is a few "mature" themes in a platform game. And while the actual gameplay my be fine. Lets face it, how long can someone be amused by potty humor and "shock" value before they get annoyed? They expect someone to pay $60 for this? If I want to spend $60 dollars on potty humor I\'ll rent the SouthPark movie, and have money left over to get Rayman 2 for the N64 or something else.

Righto so a company decides to break new ground in a tired and rehashed genre such as platforming, basically giving these types of games a breath of fresh air and all the naysayers who haven\'t seen sh[/i]it of the game can do is complain. What annoys me the most is that all you (and many others) seem to think Conker is about is \'potty humour\' or \'mature themes\' while completly ignoring the game itself, and a quite deep and well playing game it is. The game is your typical standard platform fare with puzzle solving attributes (not collecting stuff) and brittish humour thrown in to keep the player entertained through the game, things such as famous movie spoofs and different kinds of abusive, vulgar and sexual comedy. I personally couldn\'t give a sh[/i]it if you don\'t buy the game (I don\'t know if I will be either yet) but at least give it a try before exercising your total lack of knowledge of the game by basically declaring it a south park rip off, an insult to anyone who has ever created any form of intelligent comedy on any medium.

Damn straight Trin.

Conker (As well as Sin and Punishment) is the N64\'s swansong.

Some of the best graphics seen on 64.
The best sound ever heard on the 64.
And probably some of the most fun gameplay on the 64.

Case closed.

  Nice post Trintius.  Trintius said everything that I wanted to say, except that I think Living said that he would still give the game a try a while back.
