Twelve Tales Conker 64 Gameplay Surfaces

In the late 90s, Rare began work on Twelve Tales Conker 64, a sequel to Conker's Pocket Tales for the Game Boy Color. The team eventually scrapped the project and reworked it to be less cutesy and more sweary in Conker's Bad Fur Day.

The website Rare Minion acquired 30 minutes of the canned project and uploaded it to YouTube. The footage looks a bit rough, but it's still interesting to see what Rare originally envisioned.

Be sure to also check out our feature on games that changed mid-development.

I was just talking about Bad Fur Day earlier. I sure hope they release another one.

So interesting (and kind of funny) to see the original direction of the game from playing the early Conker games and seeing this. I'm glad Rare ended up going the way they did, because the final result, BFD, is (legit) one of my favorite games ever.

Interesting I remember by brother having Conker for the N64 and wondering why he wouldn't let me play it well I know now lol.

I loved bad fur day we need more irreverent and immature games like this, I feel that the industry takes itself too seriously sometimes.

So is it like Rare week or something?

Definitely not watching a 30 minute video, but I'm glad they changed it.

I love Conker's Bad Fur Day, and wouldn't have it any other way. But I still think that this looks pretty fun
by freeze058 Monday, September 17, 2012 at 06:31 PM

Oh rare, how you have fallen.

I have GOT to get Conker's bad fur day!
by Warrior Monday, September 17, 2012 at 06:31 PM

RareWare is sooo freaking legit. This game looks awesome. Reminds me of Mario 64 so freakin' much.
by LA643 Monday, September 17, 2012 at 06:33 PM

Alright so, if the next cover reveal is a sequel to Conkers Bad Fur Day on the Wii U. Then I will pretty much do anything the GI community asks....okay now that I've got this in my head I really want it to happen. *looks at nintendo* DO IT!!!
by Candyman69666 Monday, September 17, 2012 at 06:33 PM

I would kill for a sequel to Bad Fur Day.
by Cerberus_95 Monday, September 17, 2012 at 06:34 PM

Glad they changed it,this looks like it couldn't compete with Mario 64,Donkey kong or Banjo Kazooie...
by Andrew Monday, September 17, 2012 at 06:39 PM

I remember this...they really did a 180 with this game.
by Do NOT Read This Monday, September 17, 2012 at 06:48 PM

Conker's Bad Fur Day is a masterpiece. Without a doubt, it's the funniest game ever made. It doesn't hurt that it's so much fun to play, either.
by Companion Cube Monday, September 17, 2012 at 06:49 PM

What's with all the recent leaks?
by MusicrazyTony90 Monday, September 17, 2012 at 06:57 PM

Conker is still one of my favorite series and games of ALL TIME!! and I wish they would make another because Bad Fur Day left us with soooo many questions and left me and others wanting more BRING BACK CONKER!! PLZ!!!!!!!!!! PLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLLLLLLLLLLLLZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!! :)
by Chronos545 Monday, September 17, 2012 at 06:58 PM

At first glance I was hoping this was footage of the planned Conker's Other Bad Day... that's probably my top game to ever be canceled =( I'd kill to get Rare to finish that.
