Conker?s Bad Fur Day

Conker?s Bad Fur Day could be one of the last games for the Nintendo 64, and it?s as nasty as it wants to be.

Not For Kids
After a lengthy delay?and complete overhaul?Conker?s Bad Fur Day is scheduled for a March release. With the GameCube looming, Conker could be one of the last games for the Nintendo 64, but it?s an odd send-off for a system that will best be known for Mario and Zelda. Rated Mature for good reason, Conker will push the limits?not of the N64 hardware?but of good taste and off-color humor. You?ll control Conker, a squirrel whose mouth is as foul as his mind is dirty, through several gigantic stages with different objectives. As for motive, there?s no princess to rescue or planet to save; nope, Conker is only in it for the money, which is the reward for each completed level.

Pissed Off...and (Literally) On!
Conker will have a variety of special abilities that vary from stage to stage. In addition to using his trusty bonk-em-in-the-head giant frying pan, Conker will also be able to dispatch foes by jumping, urinating, and farting on them. The diverse stages will also be loaded with humor, ranging from defeating a giant sweet-corn-loving monster with toilet paper to storming Omaha Beach in a sequence reminiscent of Saving Private Ryan, complete with Conker?s fellow furry friends getting dismembered and blown to pieces by enemy artillery. The control scheme will be similar to that of other Nintendo 64 3D action titles (including an adjustable camera) and should be easy to master.

Command and Conker
The preview version looked and sounded great. Conker?s visuals featured colorful locales, sharp details, and gore galore. Yet the real technical grabber was the soundtrack, which was filled with hilarious spoken dialogue and an odd musical score?an area where cartridge games don?t normally excel. In addition to the one-player game were several multiplayer skirmishes. Up to four people could take each other on via split-screen view in contests that ranged from a money-grabbing capture-the-flag to a free-for-all tank battle. With its raunchy sense of humor and hilarious gameplay, Conker?s Bad Fur Day will make its release a good day for N64 owners who are looking for some dirty fun.
