The funniest thing about Conker’s Bad Fur Day isn’t the boozing, sexual situations, drug use or foul language. It’s not even the boss fight against a living mound of feces with teeth made of corn kernels. It’s the fact that this Nintendo 64 classic started out a kid’s game.

Maybe the campaign was monotonous and the multiplayer map design was weird. Maybe we can still love the game despite or because of its flaws.
Rare’s Conker used to be a nice little squirrel. He was cute, he had polite friends, and he was going to be starring in a very Nintendo platformer for a Nintendo console.
