nintendo ditches conkers bad fur day!

Nintendo apparently can\'t take the heat -- THQ will handle publication of Rare\'s controversial Conker\'s Bad Fur Day

nintendo just lost ANY scrap of respect i had for them.

You sure hate nintendo, what does your mon...chimp think?

Uuummm...NO.

Rare is publishing this game in America.

You got the THQ thing all wrong. RARE didn\'t want to release CBFD in Europe, but THQ said the\'ll publish the game there so it will be released in Europe now.

THQ Conkers Europe

Conker\'s Bad Fur Day to release in Europe courtesy of publisher THQ. Details here.

March 2, 2001

Great news for European Nintendo 64 owners who thought they\'d never be able to get their hands on the upcoming Rare action-platformer Conker\'s Bad Fur Day. Publisher THQ, through an agreement with Rare and Nintendo of America, told IGN64 today that it would be distributing the game overseas this April, just one month after the title\'s March 5 release in the US.
"We\'re excited to be partnering with Rare and Nintendo of America on this revolutionary game,” stated Tim Walsh, senior vice president, international publishing, THQ. “Rare has broken all genre barriers with Conker’s Bad Fur Day delivering exceptional graphics, solid gameplay and an innovative story rich with truly unforgettable characters.”

Meanwhile, Nintendo Europe commented:

"Nintendo of Europe is pleased to confirm that Conker\'s Bad Fur Day will be released by THQ International across Europe for the Nintendo 64. Nintendo of Europe decided against publishing the game following a full commercial appraisal. It is the policy of Nintendo of Europe to translate our games into the native language of the region where it will be released and due to its text-heavy content, the cost of localising Conker\'s Bad Fur Day would not be commercially viable. Nintendo is pleased that the English-language version of Conker\'s Bad Fur Day will be available - through THQ - for N64 fans across Europe."

The official release on THQ\'s distribution deal will hit the wire tomorrow morning.

I guess they\'re conscientious about Europe for some reason.  I really don\'t care b/c I think the game will suck anyway just like about 80% of the rest of the trash for N64.  Oooohhh Aaahhhh it\'s a squirrel that cusses.  Give me a ****ing break, ****head!  There I cussed for you and I won\'t charge $60 for it.

I\'m getting it cause I like platformers.... and the crudeness is still more fun that a story revolving around a bear and witches....

That game looks alot like all the other platform games on n64.

You should spend your money on PS2 games.

I have no interest in this game.  It just looks like a game for the immature.  It is for Middle Schoolers that get their laughs out of farts and "potty mouth."  This game will make people look cool!

Like Jumpman said, you got the story wrong. Just to add to that, there are a few things to consider.

1) Most of of the jokes don\'t translate well to other languages (that\'s why it says the English version will be available across Europe - they won\'t be translating it).


2) Nintendo of Europe operates primarily outside of the UK ( i.e. non-English speaking countires), making it pointless for them to do it.

3) Nintendo hasn\'t published ANY of its N64 games in the UK. A company called THE distributed Nintendo\'s games there, but a little while back, their contract with Nintendo expired, and it was not renewed (there were a lot of complaints they weren\'t doing a good job anyway). So Nintendo is still in the process of setting up their own distribution system there.

why do you guys hate nintendo, im gonna buy a GC when it comes out. its like the pionner og consoles, it came out before ps, sega, its cool.

you guys know my opinion on this game, as I am one of the few none game reviewers who has seen and played the full complete version for more than 5 minutes.

I originally thought NoA was publishing this in America. At least that is the notion I get from that news piece.

So what if it does? Is that a reason to not play this game? Thats pretty pathetic if you ask me. Don\'t judge a game by how it looks.

Spend money on PS2 games and miss out on a golden opportunity? **** that.

Meh. It\'s better than any pitiful excuse for a platform game on  PS2. Quit complaining.

better than Rayman 2 revolution? are you sure? that has to be the best platformer I have ever played, many people, even reviewers agree with that statement!

unknown - sorry, nintendo was after magnavox, atari, sega (sc-1000, sg-1000, mark 3), intellivision, coleco,sears, etc!

OMG you live in Arkansas too?  

You probably have lived here all your life, unlike me.  (I\'m in a military family.  We\'ve been everywhere)

You\'re probably just a hillbilly "back yonder"

Oh well, I\'m surprised you even know what videogames are, and judging by the way you act, I\'m glad that I didn\'t grow up in Arkansas or I\'d act just like you.  

(shudders at the thought)

Sure they do.

Actually, I was going to say " its a lot better than that ****ty Raymen2 game" but I just couldn\'t fit the words properly so I pulled a cheap shot and said PS2.

IMO, Raymen2 for DC sucked Llmama\'a  anus.

Did I hurt your feelings El-Ass-ino?

I\'d apologize if the things I said weren\'t true.   Get to steppin, Essay.

Why is it every time someone talks about the quality of video games for a system, some fool takes it as a personal insult like you just called his mom a dirty whore?
