How the FUCK did Nintendo allow this to be released as an N64 exclusive
>>
They weren't so fucking gay back then. The back to back blows of the ps1-ps2 console generation victories mindbroke them and they've been insufferable since about 2003
>>
>>12241605
What's wild to me is that the Xbox port is the censored version

They've been insufferable since the mid 90s.

>How the FUCK did Nintendo allow this to be released as an N64 exclusive
It’s an indie game developed and published by Rare, the only one they made for the N64 that wasn’t published or even endorsed by Nintendo. Nintendo considered them too expensive, as Rareware’s development was AAA-level costly. I don’t recall the exact timeline, but Nintendo owned about 49%, and Miyamoto reportedly pushed Rare to turn Dinosaur Planet into a Star Fox game, just to keep it from becoming an Xbox launch title. Conker’s BFD felt like a big “fuck you” to Nintendo, it was meant to be a childish collect-a-ton (Check Conker's Pocket Tails on Gameboy) and they changed it to BDF just to fuck with that Tendie bullshit.
>>12241615
Because that version has been published by Microsoft Game Studios and they pussied out, why? I don't know, they should have join the beef with Rare.
///
What I don’t understand is why, a few months later, Staper-less Rare swallowed its pride and developed games for the GBA and NDS, using the excuse that Microsoft didn’t have a handheld console, so it was fine for them to keep whoring and sucking Nintendo's cock on those platforms.

Everything I've shared is based on my memory, so let's see if a nerd can add more details and facts.

Good game better than Banjo and Mario 64 its a shame there was never a sequel and the Xbox Remake is censored
>>
>>12241636
No, they retooled it in response to the press complaining about Twelve Tails being another kiddie platformer blending in with the crowd. Rare was expecting Nintendo to buy them so they could have the security and budget to do nextgen games.
>even endorsed by Nintendo
It literally says "Nintendo presents".
>Rare swallowed its pride and developed games for the GBA and NDS
I don't know what kind of story you're trying to pull, but Rare wanted money and knew Nintendo systems were where their primary audience was. And that's still the case, with the interest generated by their games getting added to NSO.

i agree with that guy, they sucked nintendo's cock and got forced to make shit games on a weak console because they blew it with microsoft

Why didn't Nintendo allow porn games like Saturn?

The short answer is Nintendo really stopped caring about any sort of mature content in games after the ESRB rating system came around and also that they didn't publish or help out with the advertising of Conker, Rare did it themselves.
>>
>>12241605
Any other good scatformers like Conker? I've already played South Park 64, Stimpys Invention, and Toilet Kids

Despite having owned an N64 with Goldeneye and Perfect Dark, and having rented Diddy Racing a few times, I never took an interest in Rare's platformers during that period. What's best to play first, then, Conker or Banjo? I don't mind puerile humour.

Conker isn't *really* a platformer. I'm not sure how to even describe it but it's more of an adventure game, there are very few parts where you actually do any platforming especially after the first hour or so.
>>
>>12243696
Look at this schizo seething

Conker is really boring, I don't recommend it. Goemon's Great Adventure is excellent.

That anon here. I decided to start a game of Conker, because it's the "controversial" one and it made me curious. I've played about 50 mins, and I've just made the farting mouse explode. The game seems okay so far, notwithstanding the obvious furry porn in the intro sequence. I like the smooth controls and the expressiveness of the characters, Conker in particular.

Conker is far better to watch than it is to play. they DESPERATELY wanted to make a TV show. Like, Gex is a video game that satirises TV, whereas Conker is a video game that wishes it was TV.

this game is by and far the best looking N64 game. it could pass for a PS2 launch title in some areas.

>"there, that's betta!"
Your guess is as good as mine, OP. Rare got away with murder and in doing so made one of, if not *THE* best games for the console.
>>
One thing that has annoyed me through the game's first hour is the uncertainty of the accents. I'm guessing that the voice cast was entirely British, in which case it would have been wise of Rare to make Conker's animal kingdom a purely British one. Instead, we get a lot of Americanised characters voiced by Brits who can't do the accent convincingly. That's annoying, all the more so because it could easily have been avoided. Even Conker himself has this problem: sometimes he sounds English, but he'll often waver into a more American sound mid-sentence. Fucking hell, just pick one voice and stick with it.

I know most 80s/90s cartoon shows with anthropomorphic animals were American, and Conker, modelling itself on those cartoons, aimed to have that same sound. But Rare should have been honest with themselves about the disappointing results and altered their approach to voice acting.
>>
>>12247878
It's funny. The voice acting is why it's funny. Maybe you just don't want to like the damn game
>>
>>12247878
This is a genuinely bizarre thing to have a gripe with. The game's voice acting is perfectly fine. Being so highly sensitive about something so inoffensve is... autism? Perhaps?
>>
>>12247878
I think part of the joke and charm is that the voices are obviously done by the British devs without any real training or skill. Birdy's voice is used for many characters and just has slight pitch shifting, for example.

This part is fucking annoying. Swimming segments during this era of gaming were always bad news.

I am also not liking the parts where you have to chase fast-moving NPCs and stun them with your frying pan before capturing them. They waste time and there's no real skill challenge there. Just have to keep swinging until you land a lucky hit.

play the game. it's a disjointed mess of glorified minigames where nothing ever gets fleshed out. It's a RE clone, for five minutes. then it's a Medal of Honour clone, for five minutes. then it's a Tomb Raider clone, for five minutes. then it's a Banjo clone, for five minutes. nothing is ever allowed to grow or really make a statement. the point of the game is to corral you from one witty dialogue line or visual pun to the next, rather than to actually PLAY. It's like if the devs of Last of Us were making games in Y2K.

>>12241636
Conker Live & Reloaded came out like right in the wake of the GTA Hot Coffee controversy and Wal Mart started moralfagging and refusing to sell certain games with too much inappropriate content. They censored L&R (originally the game was titled "Live & Uncut and marketed as being censorless) in an effort to get Wal Mart to carry the game but I think they ended up rejecting it anyway.

Ehh, i would say to atleast Nintendo of America, he was still considered a Nintendo mascot and game. They had his CBFD design plastered up on their HQ walls at time, right along with Banjo, Pikachu, Mario and Link.
>>
>>12241641
Japs do the exact same.
>>
>>12244153
They wouldn't have put in such a great multiplayer mode if that was remotely true. Plus completely ignoring the actual origins of the games development.
