Conker's Bad Fur Day was a cult classic on the Nintendo 64, and one writer wants to see the titular Conker the Squirrel return for a full-fledged sequel.
Celebrate two decades of Conker's Bad Fur day with a crappy energy drink.
Wonder why they do these things, like with Banjo but never make a new game. With Banjo there's no excuse really, we all know how pathetic the law is in the UK though and flakes get offended by anything today, wonder if that's why there's no new Conker.
A new Diddy Kong Racing would be nice too, nearly everyone just copies Mario Kart.. meh.
im not sure what the UK law has to do with MS not being able to make new games of those franchises.
they've been left for dead. its that simple
Oh right MS owns the rights to Rare now, but Rare was originally a UK developer. That's why i mentioned the pathetic UK law.
Star Wars Rogue Squadron. That’s the list. You can all go home. I’m just kidding, of course. The N64 had a lot of unforgettable titles throughout its run.
Quest 64, while simple and short, would certainly fit on this list. So would a few others.
Lol Mario Kart 64. That's the perfect example of nostalgia blinding people from seeing how badly a game has aged. Great at the time, but the controls are abysmal now. People ripped on Double Dash at the time, but it aged much better. Unfortunately for people my age N64 is so attached to their childhood that any criticism of any game is taken like an insult to their family honor or something.
I guess to each their own. But I still think Mario Kart 64 is good all these years later.
I still enjoy playing N64 games, the only ones that truly haven't aged well are the FPS games : Goldeneye and Perfect Dark. Although the Turok games have aged well as it uses a better control scheme (move with C buttons, aim with control stick)
Wave Race 64 is absolutely fantastic. Racing games are my jam, but I remember this game being really tough because the rough weather and strong waves were pushing my jet ski around slamming me into obstacles haha. I wish I had an N64 so I could replay it.
Duke Nukem 64 and Doom 64. Also the recently english translation of Shiren 2 looks and plays great
With the announcement of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, Conker's Bad Fur Day being addition to the service seems like a no-brainer.
If that happened we would probably be able to hear people complaining about the controls for a mile. Bad Fur Day is a incredible interesting piece of software and with some very unique ideas for the time. But is also likely the Rare titles that aged the worst from the N64 era.
The control complaints are a good possibility, but in my recent playthrough it played just fine. I would actually argue that Donkey Kong 64 aged worse than Conker.
I played it for the first time about 6-7 years ago. Sure, I had some issue with the controls, but that's the case with a lot of N64 games. Once you get the hang of it, it's really not all that bad.
Fantastic game though, absolutely brilliant. It was just unfortunately one of those ones that slipped through the cracks for me as I was growing up. Glad I eventually got around to it though!
Tbh, conkers controls weren't bad. It's just N64 controls in general. No worse. But then again, I'm a inverted aim guy
Nintendo and Microsoft are sharing the same bed now Banjo Kazooie is upcoming to the Switch online so anything could happen. I would like Conker to come to the Switch I have never tried the game out. Maybe if enough fans petition or harp both Nintendo and Microsoft Conker might just appear on the Switch online. But I am not holding my breath Nintendo's whole updating the Switch online games roster is some what once in a blue moon field look at the SNES and NES roster.
Do they have any M rated games on it? Haven't looked in a while and can't remember. Because they may not want to but M rated games, especially one that wouldn't be acceptable in the current day on the list because they expect kids to be using it too. Though I actually would love them too. Conker is hands down one of my all time favs and the N64 version was the best imo
Nintendo has laxed their censoring of games over the years not as much of a fight since the SNES days. If a Japanese games see a North American release I will buy it on the Switch over PS4 because of Sony censoring games. All Nintendo or Microsoft needs is a kick in the ass from fans of Conker and he might appear on the Switch.
We may not get a direct sequel but there is hope for a prequel.

We already sort of did via the episodes they released for Project Spark.
The Rare of today is really completely different from the Rare that created Conker and all the other N64 gems. The remake on Xbox was a nice title, but that had a blueprint to follow.
I doubt the Rare of today can put out an entirely new sequel that does justice to the series. Look at how Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts pails in comparison to the N64 era B&K as proof.
To be fair Chris Seavor himself said, that he doesn't think they can capture the magic of bad fur day again. He went on to say that, either someone else would have to make it, or we will have to just keep enjoying bad fur day. I got this from the rare replay making of video. Althogh I would love to see another one.
I so want this!
