I'm looking forward to Snowboard Kids on the DS!

Absolutely loved that on the N64 and I'd bet it would be superb on a multiplayer DS game!

It was strange, Nintendo were really after some adult games and when they're given one they sorta rejected it.

Yeah but in what state and with which console?

Admittedly it would have a made a great launch title on the cube but I think Rare wanted to show their prowess with the N64 technology.

It was pure and utter excellence. It was also my first ever Gameaday prize. One of the only ones I remember too.

*Matrix level is the best.

*I still reckon the final ending was a message to Ninty.

*Just think, if it wasn't for THQ you might've never played it.

Nothing compared to the matrix level.

Although the entire "WAR" chapter is hilarious.

I just hope they haven't changed the ending. It was a right shocker, the game was so silly throughout and at the very end it is just moving.

I've played the demo of the beach landing + corridor bit afterwards with the Nazi's.

It's great.

My list is incredibly flawed.

It needs F-Zero and CBFD.

I loved Conker's Bad Fur Day so much I spent a total of £100 running a website dedicated to it. I started a Conker Wrestling Federation and wrote interviews with the characters.

I completed the game 9 times!

It is in fact my favourite game of all time along with Pokemon Yellow.

When you play Wind Waker then play OOT, it does feel like a step back even though OOT is a marvelous game. Because technology allows games to feel better even though you don't realise it. I hope Conker plays like a next gen game and not an N64 one. As it wouldn't cut it anymore.

That's only because playing the game again removes all the rose tinted fog that makes you forget all the faults. Doesn't happen with OOT or SM64, oddly enough.

I just hope it retains the magic. After all updates don't always work on modern formats.
