a5c7b9f00b After a rough night of drinking beer, Conker wakes up stranded in a hungover. Conker meets new friends and foes along the way of getting to Berri his girlfriend. However, Berri has been kidnapped and Conker must find her and rescue her. Now the Panther King is crying over spilled milk, so he chooses Professor von Kriplespac to fix the problem, but the Professor is creating an evil army of Tediz to have both the Panther King and all the squirrels killed. So the Professor comes up with a solution that a red squirrel is the key to prevent the Panther King&#39;s milk spill over. So Conker must survive the day and get home. The vulgar adventures and exploits of a squirrel with a hangover, trying to save the world. After creating some promising games, Rare became part of Nintendo. As those two worked together, things were going well. Yes, things were going well, especially following the releases of Diddy Kong Racing and Banjo-Kazooie. But when Conker&#39;s Bad Fur was released, things suddenly got sour between Rare and Nintendo. The sourness was so bad, that Nintendo ended their association with Rare.<br/><br/>Why did things between the two companies got so sour all of sudden? Conker&#39;s Bad Fur Day is a bizarre game that features excrement, dirty language, and other obscenities. What kind of a game features those things? And because the game is therefore not family-friendly, it performed underwhelmingly in the market. Nintendo probably took a lost on that game. Nintendo perhaps even wished the game was family-friendly because this was to be a family-friendly game.<br/><br/>Had Rare stick to decent games, maybe they would have stayed with Nintendo. Rare would continue making good sales. As a child I began playing video games regularly when I was in first grade. I then got familiar with famous video game characters like Mario and Sonic. Although I knew many characters in my day, I never knew Conker. In fact I only heard of him only about two months ago. Why is such a cute character that&#39;s been around for more than a decade still in the shadows?<br/><br/>Conker first debut in Diddy Kong Racing. Like most Nintendo characters, he was initially designed to be family-friendly. His next game, Conker&#39;s Pocket Tales, would be his last outing being suited for all ages. Then came an announcement of another family-friendly game of his which would be released on the Nintendo 64. While that N64 game was only days away from hitting markets, critics already gave their reviews. Game developer Rare took the criticism personally and decided to give the squirrel a bizarre makeover. If there&#39;s anything I hate, it&#39;s turning a nice friendly critter to a deranged sicko. If Rare needed someone to be aimed at the adult market, they could have created another character rather than corrupting one that&#39;s targeted at children.<br/><br/>Yes, Conker&#39;s Bad Fur Day, which was aimed at mature audiences, got a lot thumbs up from reviewers. But all those praises would only matter a little when the game performed miserably in the market. Perhaps that other game Rare changed for this one might have sold better.<br/><br/>I wish Rare would bring back the nice family-friendly Conker. If Rare continues to present this deranged version of him, Conker will forever remain being an obscure character. He&#39;ll never even achieve half the star power of great characters like Mario and Sonic.
