Conker’s Bad Fur Day. It is one of the most highly regarded games in the N64’s library. It’s also one of the raunchiest, if not the raunchiest, N64 game that isn’t South Park. Given how messed up the game is and how poorly it initially sold, you’d think this would never get an advertisement. But it did. And it is glorious. Thus, the Operation Rainfall Retro Commercial Research Team (in other words, me) shall present to you the ad for Conker’s Bad Fur Day in this week’s Retro Wrap-Up.
Here are the highlights of the past week.
The Wii U got a beefy update, giving it the ability to play Wii games off the Wii U gamepad, improvements to SpotPass and the Internet browser, and more.
Also, Nintendo released another Nintendo Direct. Highlights from this one include a new Kirby game, Sonic returning to the next Smash Bros. games, and an English trailer for the cast of Bravely Default.
