This video includes 30 minutes of old and new never before seen gameplay from the unreleased Twelve Tales Conker 64 game. rareminion.com/twelvetales.html
Conker races in Diddy Kong Racing and jumps around in his kiddy g-rated innocent world. Then he finds a beer lying on the ground. His world changed after that.
Playing Conker's Bad Fur Day before seeing this feels so weird. It's like watching gameplay footage of a Conker game that belongs in another alternate universe.
Bad Fur Day was a brutally difficult and painfully linear game where most of the "mature" humor was just shock value. Oh, look, that piece of shit sings! Oh look, that furnace literally has brass balls! Oh, look, that caveman has a small dick! It was Mature, but it wasn't all that mature.
@@simpletonapollo9723 Why? While yes i do wish it existed, Twelve Tales was just another Mario 64 clone on the pile, BFD Made things interesting with more than just platformer, full voice acting on a n64, gorgeous graphics and funny dialogue, Twelve Tales just has the third one on the list, yes it would probaly be fun but it would just be a clone of Banjo-Kazooie.
I hope the game will be leaked out on the internet some day. Cancelled games have been leaked out years later before like the original prototype of Duke Nukem Forever, Warcraft Adventures, Star Fox 2 (SNES), Glover 2 (N64), Dinosaur Planet (N64), Timetrax (SNES & GENSIS), etc.
This is from a VHS tape of footage that was later chopped up and sent out to Video Game TV Shows to use. This is a compilation of the best clips that Rare recorded. There is no more footage than this apart from the master tapes at Rare HQ.
@@DisneyDude1928 and most of what you see here was re-used in Bad Fur Day, The Wild West level is still in BFD, the Ancient Greek level became the Dinosaur Level in BFD.
Man... seeing as Dinosaur Planet got leaked recently, I can only hope this game gets leaked someday. It looks so fun to play - we were robbed of a fantastic experience. Bad Fur Day is still cool and all that, but I wish the two games coexisted.
I hope Twelve Tales makes it to the N64 Switch Online app similar to how Star Fox 2 was added to the SNES Classic. Unless Twelve Tales got completely scrapped and not help onto like Star Fox 2
dillon kinder but then we wouldn't have the masterpiece known as "Bad Fur Day". Granted I still really want to play this but more as a history piece of "what could have been"
I wish they had both games but still Congers childhood wasnt RLY going anywhere pocket tales was a good start but not to be made OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN
I'm particularly amazed at how great the game LOOKS for N64 hardware! Nice draw distance, nice framerate too by the look of things, a good enough level of detail, a lot of variety... was pretty much good to go!
Actually thinking about it, it would probably have been a bad marketing strategy for Rare to release this game before Bad Fur Day, I feel releasing this game after Bad Fur Day would have been better because at least it wouldn't be leading kid's who played Twelve Tails of Conquer into a dirty humor sequel made for adults. I think it would have been awesome if RareWare released this game with the same time Conquer's Pocket Tails was released for Game Boy Color ^ - ^
SkylandersTV true #bringTwelvetalesback I would be nice if it got maybe a Complete Redo like how Live and reloaded and be played in both Xbox and PlayStation
Its funny too since at the beginning of the game on the tiel screen you can hear Conker say "Uh Oh" in a slightly higher pitch then he does as his voice in BFD
Yup, Since Conker’s Bad Fur Day is pretty much the video adaptation of Happy Tree Friends, both have character parodies, look “cute”, but are really the opposite, both are full of violence and gore, have Slingshots, Squirrels, Bears, Chipmunks, and something to do with War.
How i wished that this game was on my hands, then i could play it. Enjoying his magical world, and then Upload the Game to ROM Internet Pages, so can anyone can play it on emulators.
His running animations are pretty advanced and smooth for the time. His standard biped animation looks about the same as BFD but he runs on all fours in this too!
Even though I never played this game it feels instantly familiar with the levels and the music. I had Conker's Pocket Tales as a child and I can still remember every note of the soundtrack. Back then I was excited for Conker 64, but of course it didn't happen. I finally bought Bad Fur Day a couple of years ago and I love the graphics, voice acting, the movie references, and the splendid multiplayer mode, but much of its humour has aged rather badly. I really wish the cute Conker game had come out instead. Well, with Dinosaur Planet recently resurfacing, who knows. Maybe there is a chance we'll get to play this one day...
The irony is that they changed it into a "mature" edgy game to "make it differ from other platform games (including their owns)" but it ended up flopping. Also blame the "critics" for complaing about the original game being "too cutesy" and "similar with other games".
i dont know why they didnt released this in parallel to Conker's BFD, i mean this looks like a sequel to Conker's Pocket Tales for the GBC and uses the same char. from Diddy Kong Racing. They could have released this as a sequel and BFD as a spinoff series. (Besides i prefer this Berry to the one in BFD, Berry here looks like a more realistic girlfriend for Conker)
And then, in this AU, reception would like it, but Rare decied to scrap Banjo Kazooie because of the similarities of Twelwe Tales. And so, they turned the Bear and the Breegulll into a Mature game called Banjo's Bad Honey Day. Theres no AU with both games exists or else, one of them gonna be awful or worst, they make Rare into bankrupty.
@That Friendly Nutty Squirrel Named Conker Hey, I too wish to play this as badly as you do. Like I said before. Be happy we have clips of this game's existence even though we will never ever play it.
That Friendly Nutty Squirrel Named Conker It was revealed in a bonus feature in Rare Replay that Chris Seavor’s adult Conker voice is not natural, he had the composer Robin Beanland edit his voice clips to get the right pitch. Chances are that they did the same thing for his original young Conker voice as well.
They actually planned on doing that, but time, money, and/or tech prevented it from happening. We were so close to getting playable versions of Dinosaur Planet, Project Dream, and Conker 64, but it slipped through our fingers.
It's on someone's basement unfortunately, some people refuse to let go & preserve historical stuff like this and it's the same case with Resident evil 0 there's people holding on to it. And the best part is if this ever leaks out it can be completed & restored by the gaming community just like dinosaur planet, I really hope it does.... preservation is very important!!!
Man, it's always so fascinating to see how much a game can change between its early phases and the final product. Especially Rareware games, for some reason. I can't help but wonder how this and Project Dream would have turned out to be had they been finished, as well as how Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie (And by extension, Donkey Kong 64) would've been like had their scrapped and swapped worlds not been scrapped and swapped. Speaking of swapping, there's also Stop 'N' Swop...
As mentioned by others, other Rare games used some of the music. However, this game does have the pissing music from Bad Fur Day. It's one of the few things from Twelve Tales that made it into the final game.
SomeFluffer1964 I noticed that. Also, even though most of everything was remade from scratch, many of the characters and concepts made their way into Bad Fur Day. Berri, the hub world with the Windmill, a talking scarecrow, a purple dinosaur, an ancient world-type level, the usage of a barn, a gladiator battle scene. The list can go on. It doesn't surprise me that they were able to get a new game up and running in time for BFD's E3 2000 debut. They had most of the ideas and concepts on the table already. It was just a matter of refining the gameplay, rewriting the story, and redoing the 3D world and characters. I bet they even used the same engine.
It makes me wonder how far along into development they were before they scrapped this and started doing BFD, because this looks like it would've been close to done.
A lot of people tend to say that we missed out on a classic, but for me... I think Rare did a good choice when deciding to turn it into the M rated game it had become instead of just leaving it as it is.
God I have nostalgia of this without even playing it! It just brings back memories of Banjo Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64. I guess I just love the Rareware art/music style.
I think Conker's running on all fours animation was reworked into his dance idle animation in the Rock Solid area in Bad Fur Day, because if you let Conker dance long enough he'll do the worm with his hands and feet and that's what I figure became of the animations where he ran on all fours, they became the part of his Rock Solid animation where Conker does the worm.
I'm probably the only one who feels this way, but I honestly would have preferred Twelve Tales over Bad Fur Day. I never thought there was anything wrong with cutesy platformers. Sure, the 90's may have been saturated with them, but at least when Rareware did a cutesy platformer, it had both charm AND intelligent design. Not to say Bad Fur Day wasn't technically impressive, because it absolutely was for the N64, but I can't help but yearn for the charm of what Twelve Tales could have been.
yup youre the only one yes this game is good and all but the reason conkers bad fur day is so popular is because of the great graphics and one of the nintendo games that had more of a mature tone witch is pretty rare from nintendo most people these days see nintendo as a family mario zelda kids company and bfd was hilarious with the humor and thats why it is so great and i know rare made it so dont bitch about it
+Coonker The Squirrel Ah, if it isn't Mr. "Coonker" himself! Sorry my 'bitching' wasn't to your liking, but hey, to each his own. Tonight, you can go chat with Berry about it... Oh wait, she's dead ;P
Rare's Facebook page actually just recently posted a video where one of the character animators talked about Twelve Tales. It even contained never-before seen footage of the game, which was in surprisingly high quality. Possibly a ROM? ;P
If Rare does decide to release it in any form, I think the more likely scenario would be that they release it as DLC, either for Rare Replay or something else, and they'd likely polish it first. It just seems improbable that a reputable developer would release a bare, partially finished ROM straight to the internet. That's more likely something an individual leaker would do. But hey, who knows what they might do nowadays? ;P
Imagine if this idea was praised and Rareware continued with the developement. As much as awesome and nice looks, the Conker we all know and love never existed
@That Friendly Nutty Squirrel Named Conker They really rushed on this one. It was 85% complete if I'm correct, why would they dump all of that work just because one dumbass thought it was too childish?! This footage alone proofs that the game had so much potential. BFD is great too but due to all the cutscenes it became really short and not that innovative what Twelve Tales seemed to be. Why not release it with BFD later? So everybody would be able to choose his her favourite. Man this could be even better than Banjo Kazooie if you consider all the different features it had. Around 1998 this could really iclude all the things SM64 and BK didn't have. Personally, I prefer a decent game with lots of gameplay, I don't need any cutscenes or violence then. Twelve Tales looked like a promising mixture of co op play, platforming and exploring. It was a BIG mistake to not release it. Another N64 Hit wasted. :( We should ask Rare to create a Remake of sth that never was. Keep everything from its content with updated graphics so the fans would finally get a nice game.
If you never played the original you could always find a copy of live and reloaded it's essentially the same game remastered with a few differences but are there for the better I say give it a try
big N kinda rushed the Gamecube and ignored all these blueprints for good sequels for Donkey kong banjo and conker. Or atleast didn't get Rare's vision how to proceed with early ideas.
While I really like the CBFD Rare and Nintendo logo intros I honestly think the best intros Rare would have ever made would have been this on Twelve Tails. It looks Dreamcast good and runs at a steady 30 frames, damn impressive!
I feel like the only person in the world who wants a kid version of Conkers Bad Fur Day and I'm like 25 years old. Unfortunately Kid Conker is not what I was expecting #microsoft
+burnsy96 Im trying to contact rare and nintendo to make this! help me, they cant advertize it through magizines...video clips or make a spin off game for the gameboy and not produce the game!!! if we get enough people and if i pitch my idea we could do this!
Honestly, if this game came out and bad fur day never existed We probably would’ve gotten banjo threeie, donkey Kong racing , and Nintendo probably would’ve bought out rare
Jesus, how close to completion was this? You can say that changing this to a more "hardcore" approach since 3D platformers at the time were oversaturated, but Bad Fur Day didn't light the sales charts on fire either. This looks really damn cool. Some classic N64 shit right here
It's honestly funny how Rare scrapped this because "nobody wanted another generic Rare platformer" only for years later to have an entire community of gamers lamenting its unfinished state
So, there are worlds where Conker had to find a letter N, some where he would find a B, and there's also a U. _The letters, Mason, what do they mean?_ I dunno, BONUS, maybe?
When you think about it, Donkey Kong 64 and the Banjo games were pretty dark and subversive, just less overt than Bad Fur Day. Were it not for the ominous laughing wizard at the start, I could see Twelve Tales as being more of a cutesy, happy-go-lucky romp in line with Kirby's Epic Yarn in adorableness and feel-good-ity.
Sometimes I wonder what would've came out of this one. More so out of curiosity of course because Bad Fur Day was good and it was created from this. At the time, Rare was at their peak and seemingly couldn't make a bad game. So chances are this would've been solid too. Plus it looks nearly finished. Though elements of this are definitely in Bad Fur Day. So maybe everything here just got reworked and we essentially got similar gameplay but with a M-rated label?
While I’m glad they ultimately went the direction they did, this is one of the most fascinating and enticing beta versions of any game I’ve seen. I’d love for it to leak one day
I'd have loved the idea of connecting some characters of Diddy Kong Racing with a brand new adventure game, that ending with Wizpig ship flying around always left me wondering what could have been if they decided to pick it up and extend that story, he had potential to be a good villain.
I wish to play this soo badly. I have a soft spot for adorable platformers with cute anthro animal's. =) Oh well... am just happy Conker even has a game to begin with.
Same. But for once, I'd prefer play an actual arse hole like the Conker from BDF. This version of Conker look so generic, even a sort of clone to Banjo, for be likable.
This to me would have been an obvious great game had it been released however I'm very content with BFD. The fact that many are saying they would have preferred this instead of BFD would probably be saying how interesting and unique BFD would have been if it was BFD that was left on the shelf instead of TT. I can see the already picture the comments now. "BFD looked so mature and different than any other Nintendo game man Rare missed the ball with this one". It's always easy to judge a game after the fact but I feel BFD's direction paid off.
Best way to get this game is by finding someone who'd worked for the coding for the game. Maybe they have disc with the codes on like how Dinosaur Planet was leaked

Conker before he became a raging alcoholic.
Nonononono
This was conker while he was a raging alcoholic c;
Remember Conkers BFD started AFTER he sobered up ;D
Madara Uchiha actually, this game is what happened when Conker went shrooming one day. He was uh... tripping balls... in kiddie land.
This was before Conker became bad because of stupid critics.
MisterBull * i agree with this lol
BFD was a prequel in my opinion to pocket tales and this game.
Back when Conker was more of an LSD guy.
This was Conker's childhood.
Before growing up into a hating scumbag
Exactly this could be an AU of Conker growing up xd
@@pixelpawzgaming this game ain't cannon conker pocket tales is cannon and it's conker's real child hood

Blame the "people" for making rare feel obligated to change the whole thing, this honestly looks really good and id prefer it over bad fur day
I hope the game will be leaked out on the internet some day. Cancelled games have been leaked out years later before like the original prototype of Duke Nukem Forever, Warcraft Adventures, Star Fox 2 (SNES), Glover 2 (N64), Dinosaur Planet (N64), Timetrax (SNES & GENSIS), etc.

9:31 Conker originally had the voice of the sweetcorn & fleeing Cheese pieces in Bad Fur Day
which would still be done by Chris Seavor of course ^^

I was..."Oh ok so this is the origin of that sound" thinking it was Conker never hit my imagination xD
Its funny too since at the beginning of the game on the tiel screen you can hear Conker say "Uh Oh" in a slightly higher pitch then he does as his voice in BFD

Only thing negative about this is his voice but seeing that he's a squirrel it still works.

Man, it's always so fascinating to see how much a game can change between its early phases and the final product. Especially Rareware games, for some reason. I can't help but wonder how this and Project Dream would have turned out to be had they been finished, as well as how Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie (And by extension, Donkey Kong 64) would've been like had their scrapped and swapped worlds not been scrapped and swapped. Speaking of swapping, there's also Stop 'N' Swop...
I want to play it so badly :(
Me too.
Me three (Sorry I couldn't come up with anything to say me too but still I really wished this game was released 😢😢)
Me 4
Me 5
Me 6
Man, I wish I at least had the music to this game... It's really good. I know it's based off of the music from Conker's Pocket Tales, but...
As mentioned by others, other Rare games used some of the music. However, this game does have the pissing music from Bad Fur Day. It's one of the few things from Twelve Tales that made it into the final game.
Jon-Erich Smith the fish, the dancing sunflowers, and the conker fruits made it into BFD.
SomeFluffer1964 I noticed that. Also, even though most of everything was remade from scratch, many of the characters and concepts made their way into Bad Fur Day. Berri, the hub world with the Windmill, a talking scarecrow, a purple dinosaur, an ancient world-type level, the usage of a barn, a gladiator battle scene. The list can go on. It doesn't surprise me that they were able to get a new game up and running in time for BFD's E3 2000 debut. They had most of the ideas and concepts on the table already. It was just a matter of refining the gameplay, rewriting the story, and redoing the 3D world and characters. I bet they even used the same engine.
It makes me wonder how far along into development they were before they scrapped this and started doing BFD, because this looks like it would've been close to done.
A lot of people tend to say that we missed out on a classic, but for me...
I think Rare did a good choice when deciding to turn it into the M rated game it had become instead of just leaving it as it is.
I agree!
Chris Seavor did a good job with this high pitched cartman voice
God I have nostalgia of this without even playing it! It just brings back memories of Banjo Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64. I guess I just love the Rareware art/music style.
same as i
sivret20 dude same!
When he saus uh-oh at the start of the video, it's with conker actual voice from BFD XD even his expression was used in the game.
I think Conker's running on all fours animation was reworked into his dance idle animation in the Rock Solid area in Bad Fur Day, because if you let Conker dance long enough he'll do the worm with his hands and feet and that's what I figure became of the animations where he ran on all fours, they became the part of his Rock Solid animation where Conker does the worm.
I'm probably the only one who feels this way, but I honestly would have preferred Twelve Tales over Bad Fur Day. I never thought there was anything wrong with cutesy platformers. Sure, the 90's may have been saturated with them, but at least when Rareware did a cutesy platformer, it had both charm AND intelligent design. Not to say Bad Fur Day wasn't technically impressive, because it absolutely was for the N64, but I can't help but yearn for the charm of what Twelve Tales could have been.
yup youre the only one yes this game is good and all but the reason conkers bad fur day is so popular is because of the great graphics and one of the nintendo games that had more of a mature tone witch is pretty rare from nintendo most people these days see nintendo as a family mario zelda kids company and bfd was hilarious with the humor and thats why it is so great and i know rare made it so dont bitch about it
+Coonker The Squirrel
Ah, if it isn't Mr. "Coonker" himself! Sorry my 'bitching' wasn't to your liking, but hey, to each his own. Tonight, you can go chat with Berry about it... Oh wait, she's dead ;P
Rare's Facebook page actually just recently posted a video where one of the character animators talked about Twelve Tales. It even contained never-before seen footage of the game, which was in surprisingly high quality. Possibly a ROM? ;P
+Alfredo i prefer bfd :(
If Rare does decide to release it in any form, I think the more likely scenario would be that they release it as DLC, either for Rare Replay or something else, and they'd likely polish it first. It just seems improbable that a reputable developer would release a bare, partially finished ROM straight to the internet. That's more likely something an individual leaker would do. But hey, who knows what they might do nowadays? ;P
This looks like a better game to be honest. Mostly complete too... shame it was never released.
They could release this and bad fur day.
@@hsmreu it would cause problems with parents also thinking bad fur day would be a kids game
9:32 Scream kinda sounds like the cheese when it’s bring chased in Bad Fur Day. At least I think, it just sounds familiar.
They reused some voice clips.
I'm truly impressed of how finished this game looks
Was it Finished? Ik they put a lot into it but idk if it’s finished
@@Woody17 No
God damn it, this looks so much fun!
I like how the music for the level where conker has the Roman gladiator outfit is the main theme for jet force gemini.
Imagine if this idea was praised and Rareware continued with the developement. As much as awesome and nice looks, the Conker we all know and love never existed
Seeing Tim Stamper starting to show off his prototype brought me back to this.
Next time, I don't want Twelve Tales to be replaced with Bad Fur Day. I want both of these games the next time, Rare.
I would say the same. BFD is a cool game, and this looks pretty good too
"the next time"
what next time
Berri was playable, that's cool.
Highly doubt it.
When a game's scrapped, it NEVER comes back.
It's a shame that this game was never released. They could have have released it a gave it a different story from BFD.
Luckily that's what Conker's Pocket Tales is for. Although it is on GBC
I wish this game was released! It just makes me wonder what it would of been like.
@That Friendly Nutty Squirrel Named Conker
They really rushed on this one. It was 85% complete if I'm correct, why would they dump all of that work just because one dumbass thought it was too childish?! This footage alone proofs that the game had so much potential. BFD is great too but due to all the cutscenes it became really short and not that innovative what Twelve Tales seemed to be. Why not release it with BFD later? So everybody would be able to choose his her favourite. Man this could be even better than Banjo Kazooie if you consider all the different features it had. Around 1998 this could really iclude all the things SM64 and BK didn't have. Personally, I prefer a decent game with lots of gameplay, I don't need any cutscenes or violence then. Twelve Tales looked like a promising mixture of co op play, platforming and exploring. It was a BIG mistake to not release it. Another N64 Hit wasted. :( We should ask Rare to create a Remake of sth that never was. Keep everything from its content with updated graphics so the fans would finally get a nice game.
If you never played the original you could always find a copy of live and reloaded it's essentially the same game remastered with a few differences but are there for the better I say give it a try
Me too.
big N kinda rushed the Gamecube and ignored all these blueprints for good sequels for Donkey kong banjo and conker. Or atleast didn't get Rare's vision how to proceed with early ideas.
@@conneraikman8134 NO.
LIVE & RELOADED IS CENSORED
While I really like the CBFD Rare and Nintendo logo intros I honestly think the best intros Rare would have ever made would have been this on Twelve Tails. It looks Dreamcast good and runs at a steady 30 frames, damn impressive!
the music in this game made me cry 😢
Man, Rare loved to play around with the N64 logo.
Rated E version of Conker
I feel like the only person in the world who wants a kid version of Conkers Bad Fur Day and I'm like 25 years old.
Unfortunately Kid Conker is not what I was expecting #microsoft
+burnsy96 Im trying to contact rare and nintendo to make this! help me, they cant advertize it through magizines...video clips or make a spin off game for the gameboy and not produce the game!!! if we get enough people and if i pitch my idea we could do this!
stephanie k Should make a petition on change(dot)org or something lol
+burnsy96 www.change.org/p/rareware-bring-twelve-tales-conker-64-back?recruiter=508774904&
burnsy96 Ok but you have to make sure you share it with your friends then they share it too ect..!!!
stephanie k wow I think we're getting a little bit a head of ourselves here, first I need to get some friends haha
Very impressed with the underwater sections
They need to release this game, I remember back in 1997 and 1998 when I saw it in the magazine, I was so excited about this game and Banjo Kazooie.
A lot better than Bad Fur Day.
Sonic is shit
good god this game looks really fun, I really want to play it one day!
Honestly, if this game came out and bad fur day never existed We probably would’ve gotten banjo threeie, donkey Kong racing , and Nintendo probably would’ve bought out rare
Crazy how a bunch of negative comments from some amateur game journalists caused this game to be scrapped and turned into a completely whole new game.
@@Philyutuber That's also not true. Rare already explained why the game changed multiple times... Just look it up.
could we not have had both this and bad fur day
Good thing we didn't
that Wizard looks like Mr Dark from Rayman
Lmao I just thought that too! XD
Yup. That running sound effect at the beginning Pre-Dates Mr. Krabs by at least 2-3 years.
Jesus, how close to completion was this? You can say that changing this to a more "hardcore" approach since 3D platformers at the time were oversaturated, but Bad Fur Day didn't light the sales charts on fire either. This looks really damn cool. Some classic N64 shit right here
I really wish we got Twelve Tales Conker 64 instead of Conker's Bad Fur Day
It's honestly funny how Rare scrapped this because "nobody wanted another generic Rare platformer" only for years later to have an entire community of gamers lamenting its unfinished state
So, there are worlds where Conker had to find a letter N, some where he would find a B, and there's also a U.
_The letters, Mason, what do they mean?_
I dunno, BONUS, maybe?
It must be a relief to see Conker as a family-friendly character here. This must've been a nice kid's game, just like Banjo-Kazooie.
This looks so fun to play! I love the cartoony atmosphere of this version!
When you think about it, Donkey Kong 64 and the Banjo games were pretty dark and subversive, just less overt than Bad Fur Day. Were it not for the ominous laughing wizard at the start, I could see Twelve Tales as being more of a cutesy, happy-go-lucky romp in line with Kirby's Epic Yarn in adorableness and feel-good-ity.
I wish this game was released in the first place :(
@AaliyahFan2005 it would cause problems with parents also thinking bad fur day would be a kids game
What a cute and adorable game! I wonder how the final product turned out!
Sometimes I wonder what would've came out of this one. More so out of curiosity of course because Bad Fur Day was good and it was created from this. At the time, Rare was at their peak and seemingly couldn't make a bad game. So chances are this would've been solid too. Plus it looks nearly finished. Though elements of this are definitely in Bad Fur Day. So maybe everything here just got reworked and we essentially got similar gameplay but with a M-rated label?
If only had somebody found the computer and the files on this game
Rare still has their own HQ; It's likely the source code is over there, rather than in Microsoft's.
While I’m glad they ultimately went the direction they did, this is one of the most fascinating and enticing beta versions of any game I’ve seen. I’d love for it to leak one day
I'd have loved the idea of connecting some characters of Diddy Kong Racing with a brand new adventure game, that ending with Wizpig ship flying around always left me wondering what could have been if they decided to pick it up and extend that story, he had potential to be a good villain.
I wish to play this soo badly.
I have a soft spot for adorable platformers with cute anthro animal's. =)
Oh well... am just happy Conker even has a game to begin with.
Same. But for once, I'd prefer play an actual arse hole like the Conker from BDF. This version of Conker look so generic, even a sort of clone to Banjo, for be likable.
13:17 to 15:02, JET FORCE GEMINI MUSIC!
This to me would have been an obvious great game had it been released however I'm very content with BFD. The fact that many are saying they would have preferred this instead of BFD would probably be saying how interesting and unique BFD would have been if it was BFD that was left on the shelf instead of TT. I can see the already picture the comments now. "BFD looked so mature and different than any other Nintendo game man Rare missed the ball with this one". It's always easy to judge a game after the fact but I feel BFD's direction paid off.
this
Best way to get this game is by finding someone who'd worked for the coding for the game. Maybe they have disc with the codes on like how Dinosaur Planet was leaked
