Rule of thumb: if reviewers talk about everything except the gameplay, assume the game sucks balls
I played BFD largely with a friend and the entire time I was basically saying “this is interesting but I wish there was a standard gameplay loop” be it combat or platforming or both. Conker needed to be more than just a parade of scenes and mush-mashed gameplay styles.

If only there was a genre of video games with only story and presentation occasionally branching out to paths determined by player choices.

Honestly though, is is funny how so many Nintentubers paraded the N64 as the magnum opus of the company. Was it innovative? Sure. Did it have good games? Also yes.

Did it also expose them for being antiquated and stubborn, opening the floodgates to them getting shredded in the console market, with the loss of key third party support that lasted for decades? Indeed it did.

It was also worse than the SNES and Gamecube, the predecessor and successor. Both had far better libraries and a controller that didn't require a third hand

Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Broly, and Piccolo being confirmed to be in the same range of strength is cool…but then saying Black Frieza is above them is both hype and worrisome

Brother he trained for 10 years in a single day. That’s some “what if Gohan NEVER STOPPED training after the cell games” type scenario plus power creep like nobody’s business.

Frieza is probably on SSGSS Gogeta (the last time he saw the monkeys at their strongest) level just to be petty :sakbanjo:

He caved. Trump announced the reduction of tariffs on all trading partners down to 10% for 90 days. China remains at 125%

Nintendo better do preorders and release the Switch 2 ASAP

Whenever I hear about Conker's Bad Fur Day, it's usually because people are talking about a certain s great mighty character that sings.

I haven't played and honestly don't know if all of the bosses and/or any other characters in the game also sing

Just found a fan comic online and now I ship Rosalina and Pauline.
Didja see the one with the freckles? That one made my gay little heart so happy

I was never crazy about Conker either. It’s funny, but it isn’t that funny. Most of its novelty comes from the meta angle of Rare’s last big game on the N64, which revolutionized the 3D platformer, being a piss take on the genre.

I’m glad the game is how it is though. I feel like the original version would’ve been forgettable in the grand scheme. At least Bad Fur Day has a place in history as one of the weirdest games to touch Nintendo hardware.
Society if Nintendo Youtubers realized Killer Instinct was the better Rare series over Midker. (Fulgore would've been in Smash alongside Banjo-Kazooie)

Society if Half-Life 3 was made, but turned out to actually be a documentary and warning made by time travelers from the future along with all other games in the series:

I don’t mean this in a rude way, but how?

Do you think we’re gonna see something for Switch 2 at the next PS State of Play too? :nifty:
Some games in the last Xbox Game Showcase said are coming to PS5. Not too farfetched.

Don't forget that Microsoft is very open to putting their games on other platforms plus there are rumors that games like Halo collection and Forza coming to Switch 2.

That's why I want them to JUMP that ***** for 20 chapters straight.

They also have SS4 in the back pocket, So if the 4 Saiyans need another boost there's that. As well as Broly just getting SS2 or 3. Hell, give Piccolo Kaioken and he can go from Green, to Yellow, to Orange to Red.

I would only expect that in the sense that Microsoft has practically given up on being competitive with Sony and Nintendo, so whatever they show off is probably gonna have a Non-X-Box port after a few months. South of Midnight JUST dropped, but there wasn't much build up for it, but I hope it's good and does well enough at least. Hell, port that over too like they did Indiana Jones.

I saw people talk about Conker all the time, but very rarely did they ever talk about anything other than the fact that these cartoons are gasp saying swear words 😱
I heard that the game didn’t really sell compared to lot of the other Rare games at the time. Wikipedia mentions that it sold only 50K in its first month (some say that’s the all time but that’s actually false).

Also there was an obscure Conker game on GBC called Conker's Pocket Tales.

Hope this means the Switch 2, at the very least, will stay at $450. That was already pushing it, I wasn’t trying to buy a $600 console.
Maybe they might even feel comfortable reducing it. Doubtful. But maybe.

Even if it just goes down to $400 and the games go back to $60-$70. That would be so much better.

Yeah, I wouldn’t expect all that.

It’d be cool, but at this point I’ll be satisfied if the current price stays the same. It sucks that I have to say that, but that’s the wacky world we live in,

Yeah, Conker bombed when it came out. Nintendo was just not marketing the game at all because they did not like an M rated platformer that looked like it was for kids back during the N64 days.
Nowadays I feel like Conker's Bad Fur Day is tame when it comes to M rated games. Other M rated games have more swearing and violence, and most of the sexual content in Conker's Bad Fur Day is more implied (like the Bee pollinating the sunflower offscreen) rather then explicit. Gaming's changed a lot in the past 24 years.
