Conker's Bad Fur Day/Trivia


 * Executive Meddling: The main reason why Conker's Bad Fur Day was created was because the Executives at Rare began to fear that their original idea for a Conker platformer, Twelve Tales: Conker 64/Conker's Quest, was going to be looked down upon due to being yet another cutesy platformer, and an extremely negative critique/mockery made during its test showing ended up being the last straw, ultimately resulting in this.
 * Keep Circulating the Tapes: It wasn't easy to pick up when it was originally released! Fast forward a decade, and the fact that the game reaches £70 on Ebay (the single booklet was £30!) gives an impression on how rare the game is now.
 * Screwed by the Network: Twice.
 * Stillborn Franchise: Sadly, what the Conker series seems to have become.
 * Talking to Himself: One guy does 99% of the voices.
 * What Could Have Been:
 * An interview with Chris Sevor revealed that not only did they plan on making a sequel to Conker's Bad Fur Day, aptly named Conker's Other Bad Day, but the plotline of the game was actually finalized. However, Microsoft decided against doing a sequel until they decide to ask, so development was shelved. The only known parts of the plot revealed to the public was in the beginning, where Conker was dethroned, imprisoned, and awaiting execution because he wasted the entire royal treasury on beer, parties, and hookers. He then has to make an escape from the castle's highest tower with a ball and chain attached to his leg.
 * There was an online petition, that was made to get Conker's Other Bad Day back into Development. The maker of the petition had stated that he sent the petition to Microsoft and they didn't response regarding on the topic of Conker's Other Bad Day. And he is currently trying to get Nintendo to buy back Rare. To get the proposed sequel made for the Nintendo Wii.
 * As mentioned above, the game was originally a kids platformer in the vein of Banjo-Kazooie. At first it was Conker's Quest before changing into Twelve Tales. This younger version of Conker can be seen in Diddy Kong Racing, and an ill-fated Game Boy game; some Posters released for the remake of Conker's Bad Fur Day says both are canon and take place in the past.
