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.

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.

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'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.

[@vileplume9975]

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

[@AlfredoAVA]

+Alfredo i prefer bfd :(

[@AlfredoAVA]

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

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?

BFD is a really good game but turned out to be extremely short especially during the second half of the game due to cutscenes and dialogue. I don't mind playing a kid game that offers more gameplay, content and stuff to do. That part got very reduced in BFD tbh. So I can see why many people would like to play Twelve Tales instead. I mean you were able to switch between tools and vehicles everywhere, BFD restricted that feature to context sensitive pads...

This to me would have been an obvious great game had it been released however I'm very content with BFD.

I'm dying from the cuteness omg I would have loved this game

[@ALLMETAL1970]

Me as well, but honestly still would've preferred bad fur day.

[@TottoGamer2016]

10:12 It's funny to see how Conker 64's voice was reused for the cheeses from Conker's Bad Fur Day Also, am I the only one who hates Conker's voice in Twelve Tales?

[@DeaconDoDirty]

Feels like I'm in the twilight zone reading some of these comments. This game looked UNDERWHELMING as can be lol. There's literally nothing in this video that makes me wish we had this instead of Bad Fur Day. BFD was an amazing title, but unfortunately released at an awful time. Shame what happened to Rare.

[@viyerc]

This looks too childish and similar to Banjo Kazooie, I wish Rare did something more mature instead.

[@monsieursunflower123]

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...

[@MarioLuigi25]

Personally, I think this game would have been better than BFD.

[@StokedTrout]

no

[@ColonelGrandSlam]

No, you just think that because it's different.

[@MarioLuigi25]

No, it's because it had alot more imaginative worlds and creativity behind it.

[@StokedTrout]

MarioLuigi25 How? CBFD was filled to the brim with imagination and creativity! Honestly, when I played CBFD, I kept asking myself how RareWare came up with the zany things in that game. And how can you make this assumption with 30 minutes of gameplay? Besides, RareWare made CBFD instead of Twelve Tales because they fear TT would be too generic and wouldn't stand out.

[@MarioLuigi25]

No, they made it because of all the complaints about the game being "too kiddish". So they made BFD to shut those critics up. And it's just my opinion. This game had tons of potential to be a great game. And you were even gonna get to play as Berri, something you couldn't do in BFD. She was gonna have her own set of stages. I'm not saying that BFD was a bad game. It was actually an amazing game. Especially for it's time. I just think this game would have been better in terms of feel and atmosphere. And to see Rareware scrap it because of the complaints about it being kiddish just seems like a drag.

[@villagerjj]

to think that a prior rare dev still has a dev cart, with this on it, and they are just teasing us by putting footage of in on twitter. :( they are probably gonna dump the rom soon I would imagine.

[@brandono_s]

What’s their @

[@PlasmaStar87]

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

[@wakkowarner123]

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...

[@jon-erich9752]

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]

Jon-Erich Smith the fish, the dancing sunflowers, and the conker fruits made it into BFD.

[@jon-erich9752]

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.

[@DeceasedChannel-r1i]

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.

[@immanuelweaver4522]

I hate the people who critisized rare more making the kiddy platformers. It's their fault we never got to play this game.

Just a reminder, this build is fully playable somewhere on a cartridge out in the world

[@Daniel-bl7hu]

I don't mind Conker's Bad Fur Day at all, it's a good game. But Rare, can you revive Twelve Tales: Conker please? Please, Rare, I beg you, please?!

[@BlazeHeartPanther]

That sounded like the mindset of people in the 2000s. They needed more gritty looking realistic shooters.

If only had somebody found the computer and the files on this game

[@NunofYerbizness]

Rare still has their own HQ; It's likely the source code is over there, rather than in Microsoft's.

[@ravenjamtay5347]

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

Yeah, this looks pretty...poor, even for an unfinished game. Some cute ideas and areas for sure but tons of work would have been needed to get this even close to BK's quality. I can definitely see why they decided to just fuck around and make bad fur day instead of trying to make this a coherent game.

[@fuzy2449]

bk is a great game no doubt but this game used to have abilities, mechanics and controls that bk never offered so I can't agree here. if you look closely they even put some ideas into super mario sunshine. maybe unintenionally.

[@lucideirune1635]

They should have released this young Conker on Xbox over the imposter.

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.
