[masterkillz100]

wait conker was always friendly wasnt he?

[SpyrotheDragonBoy200]

I adore that voice of Conker's xD

[zioneig]

did nintendo make this

[VicenteIbanez2620]

@zioneig no, RareWare did.

[spyke4995]

@greeneyes97402 Yeah, because the PS3 and N64 were released at the same time, so comparing them makes sense.

Stop trolling. I have many fond memories of my N64 and all it's great games.

[kishire6murcielago]

lol dude you start all of your videos with "all righttt" hahahaha

[greeneyes97402]

NINTENNDO 64 FAILS HARDCORE. WHY DONT U FAGS JUST BUY A PS3. N64 HAD MAYBE ONE OR TWO GOOD TITLES. REST WERE SHIT. U CANT NAME MORE THAN MAYBE 5 BEST. PS3 TOPS ALL FOREVER!!!

[alec1382]

Why do japanese games contain so much english text? I heard that japan has the lowest percentage of english speakers in the world.

[SuperMrSteveO]

5,000th viewer!

[knobface123]

I rember this game when i was little! I miss it! :(

[LetsPlayerJoel]

Conkers not an Alcoholic in this game xD!

[sosimsim02]

ah i used to play this game everyday lol

i wish i still had my n64

[DarkKirby1234]

does this require the expantion pak ?

[Rikarocks2001]

@DarkKirby1234 No it doesn't it uses the Jumper Pak just fine.

However I think you must be mistaken for Donkey Kong 64 Which does require the Expantion Pak.

[DarkKirby1234]

@Rikarocks2001 two years ago... thanks?

[Rikarocks2001]

@DarkKirby1234 No problem.

[NostalgiaKing]

I love this game; people don't realize that foul mouthed Conker had his start on Diddy Kong Racing, as well as Banjo of Banjo-Kazooie fame. It's actually a very good racing game. Great video!

[Legunia377]

Luke here is a tip if you fling the frog to the little pond on the ledge you will see it become a rooster frog i believe you have to run over it you will get a different character just a tip nice vid!

[Legunia377]

Ahhh nestolga!

[HypercatZ]

I played it when I was already grown up and I loved it too. I think the kidlish graphic was a good stress relief because this game was hard. Very hard. More hard than Mario Kart 64 at least!

Luck is out of question in this game. You really need to learn skill and good use of bonuses.

[mst311]

let go of acceleration before hitting or using a boost for extra booooost powa!

[tubeview96]

are all your games imports/japanese? Cuz DKR was in america.

[Enfeeblement]

Looks nice, should try to pick it up one of these days.

[Dimitri0809]

I hope this will be in VC, I think it may have a chance mainly due to the title/name of the game.

I mean If Nintendo owns the Name, Diddy and the Kremling character then technically both Nintendo and Microsoft own the game!

But even if Rare Allow's at least DK64 and this game to release to VC, it can't hurt....

[Gamester81]

The multiplayer for this game is really fun. I liked the planes the best.

[BenJabituya]

I own this game. I also have this on my DS!

[spaceman022]

after all these years im still on the last boss lol..im gonna donate it sometime

[mikez2]

I had it when I was a kid and I loved it so much

[Nintega]

Needs more P.Diddy

[Doom2Guy]

hah, clever

[MNC122703]

You know I own this game Kick ass

[LordXaero]

Letting go of A right before you hit a boost makes you get an extremely good boost. I always remembered that.

[EricDaNerd]

Oh my god! Me and my friends still play this game. We love it to death. More than Mario Kart64 even.

[alvieao2]

Nintendo mainly distributed Diddy Kong Racing since the game was self-published by Rare.

[alvieao2]

I still have Diddy Kong Racing for my N64 since buying it a few days after its release. Really fun times. I also did manage to unlock T.T. eventually...

[wildmissingno]

One of my favorite racing games! :D I never unlocked T.T. though :(

[BloodWind]

I used to play the hell out of this game when I was younger! Awesome racing game, I agree.

Lol, I realized it was Conker back when Bad Fur Day came out. I thought it was going to be a kiddy game back then.

[shr3ddr]

i loved this on the N64, but i think the DS version is ALOT harder

[rapperrico]

i love that game

[oldskoolrc]

Nice vid Luke & good choice of game. DKR is sometimes overlooked by gamers, it is a fun game :).

[Padoca85]

this game is very good, long time since the last time i played, about 10 years. I always used to play with Conker back then ^^

[TanukiKGA]

Actually never played this. Does it have any more connection to the Donkey Kong-games other than the fact that you can play as Diddy?

An, Holy crap, I had totally forgotten of Battle and Chase! Yet another probably extremely expensive game to add to the "to get"-list ;)

[lukemorse1]

I think that this one has a lot of connections to other games. really wild how some of them have taken different twists especially Conker as mentioned in the comments. Yeah, I put up a vid of Battle and Chase a long time ago but it was pretty fun

[TanukiKGA]

Yeah, I was really suprised to see him in this! Might have to track this one down :)

[28steryan]

I've had this vid' on loop, that music has got me buzzing my bollocks off!

[curmos]

I remember buying this game when it first came out on the N64. Fuck I hated it!!!! I was just so bad at it!!!! One of the hardest games I ever played!!! Or I just really sucked!

[Padoca85]

this is a great game, but yeah is fucking hard too

[lukemorse1]

Yeah, going back and playing it again it's not too bad at all.

[townsjim]

Rare were the dons about 12 years ago. Everything they did was original, polished and innovative. Even though this took a lot of inspiration from mario kart 64, it was even more refined and it's a superb game in its own right.

It's a shame Microsoft took over, there could have been some amazing titles for the Wii from Rare.

[lukemorse1]

Yeah, It usually happens with a lot of the good games for sure. Hopefully in the future we can see some more great titles come back again.

[alecjahn]

I miss this one so much. Haven't been able to find it locally for a reasonable price at all, however.

[lukemorse1]

You'll find it, you always seem to find it

[28steryan]

Tony Blair Racing, I keep missing your vid's because You Shit isn't putting them up on my new vid's page, fucking cock smokers.

[lukemorse1]

LMAO, thanks man. I know, that happens to me quite often as well.

[RetroGarst]

Great man!

This game is awesome and should'nt be forgoten.

[lukemorse1]

Yeah, it's a lot of fun to go back and play.

[tomatzu]

That's right. Conker started life as a character in DKR, as did Banjo. They both spawned into their own games. Rare went the complete opposite way with Conker's Bad Fur Day and gave the N64 a dose of British badass attitude. Banjo-Kazooie was an awesome game. DKR is a great game on N64.

Rare just do not make games like they used to. I've enjoyed Rare games since the ZX Spectrum and NES, but their XBOX games aren't as close to the quality and excellence as their Nintendo stuff. Shame really.

[alecjahn]

And so continues the search for the lost Conker 64 game, before they decided that the cutesy platformer they were making would be redundant in the market, and instead dropped a bunch of profanity on top and kicked it in a completely different direction.

I wouldn't mind a Bad Fur Day sequel, but I'm sure it wouldn't turn out as good as I hope it would. Damnit, Microsoft.

[tomatzu]

I'm not quite sure but I think that cutesy platformer turned out to be Banjo-Kazooie. It would've been nice for someone to have least leaked something about it, but we can only wonder. ^^;

[alecjahn]

Conker's Quest became Twelve Tales (...)a couple months before Banjo-Kazooie was released. 3 years later, Bad Fur Day came out.

[tomatzu]

You're right. I researched it, and it never saw the light of day other than in beta video releases. Banjo-Kazooie was released after that and Bad Fur Day was one of the latter games released for the N64.

[lukemorse1]

Yeah, a sequal to bad fur day in the same fashion as the first without changing a lot of stuff, that would be awesome.

[lukemorse1]

I soooo loved the take that they had with conker and bad fur day, that game was sooo damn great.

[tomatzu]

It had to be done!

What the N64 had was a lot of 'kiddy' games as the hardcore games were either poor ports (like RE2) or were on the PS1. An unfair label really as it had some of the best games in the fifth-gen era which were hardly kiddy (OoT anyone?). As soon as Bad Fur Day surfaced, the N64 had some attitude along with its excellent library of games. It was very well received by people too.

The userbase will side with the PS1, but the N64 was, IMO at least, the fifth-gen system of the era.

[MrMMO97]

@lukemorse1 One of the best n64 games

[Lachlant1984]

I hired this game all the time back in 1998, it was awesome, but I'm far better at Mario Kart 64 and actually prefer Mario Kart. I'd like to see this one on the virtual console.

[ultrakupra]

I played this one for the DS,a really fun game. :)

[MaximumRD]

I loved Nintendo racing games and this was no exception, back in the day playing this with 4 friends, what a blast and DAMN I got kick ass good at this, sooo much fun. Actually a few great N64 Race games for sure!
