Conker's Bad Fur Day is a 2001 platform game developed and published by Rare for the Nintendo 64. The game follows Conker, a greedy, hard-drinking red squirrel who must return home to his girlfriend after binge drinking. Most of the game requires the player to complete a linear sequence of challenges that involve jumping over obstacles, solving puzzles, and fighting enemies. A multiplayer mode where up to four players can compete against each other in seven different game types is also included. It is the second installment in the Conker series, after Conker’s Pocket Tales.

Although visually similar to Rare's previous games, such as Donkey Kong 64 and Banjo-Kazooie, Conker's Bad Fur Day was designed for mature audiences and features graphic violence, alcohol and tobacco use, profanity, vulgar humour, fourth wall breaks and pop culture references. Development lasted four years, with concepts originating during the development of Killer Instinct Gold in 1996. The game, intended for a family audience, was initially titled Twelve Tales: Conker 64 and was set for release in late 1998, but by the time it received criticism for its kid-friendly tone and resemblance to Banjo-Kazooie during E3 1998, the game was transformed into an adult-oriented version of that product.

Conker's Bad Fur Day was released in March 2001, following an advertising campaign that targeted male college students. It received critical acclaim, with praise directed at its humour, sound, visuals, and gameplay. However, the game sold well below expectations due to limited advertising and a release towards the end of the Nintendo 64's life cycle, but has since developed a cult following. A remake, Conker: Live & Reloaded, was released for the Xbox in 2005, while the original version was included as part of the Rare Replay compilation for Xbox One in 2015.

EviLore what's the most posts IbizaPocholo has posted in a single day?

I swear every post I've clicked on today has been a new IbizaPocholo post today.


Poor EviLore is paying a fortune to host this man's threads

On topic though, I'll check this video out now though, I think conkers bad fur day looks surprisingly good via backwards compat.

Edit: learning about conkers quest/twelve tales is quite interesting.

If every post you clicked on today is one of his threads, then really he's making EviLore a fortune with the most clickable content. (Using the word "fortune" loosely)

I played through the original Conker's Bad Fur Day on 64 and it was pretty good but honestly not as mind blowing as everyone seemed to make out. The crude humor was fine but not worth that many points to me. Although it was a technical masterpiece on N64 we were already playing Dreamcast games so... kind of wish I had waited and played the Xbox version instead which was probably way better. I just remember feeling exhausted when I finished it lol.

It really was absurd for Rare to be working on 2, if not 3, platformers starring cuddly characters at the same time.

Damn shame this ip is dead it seems. Loved the og. never played the xbox remake that was toned down.

Sold the box for a PAL copy of this for €200. It was mint condition as I never touched it after I took the game out. I have no idea what happened to the game cartridge. Thanks CBFD!
