Conker's Bad Fur Day was one of the last games for the N64, but also one of the best games of its generation. Starring a foul-mouthed, hedonistic squirrel, Conker's Bad Fur Day didn't sell well at all thanks to the death of the N64 and the sky-high $70 price-tag. That's too bad, because a large number of gamers missed out on a true classic. Now those who missed Conker the first time around have a second chance to enjoy the comic antics with Conker: Live and Reloaded, coming exclusively to Xbox next year in late March.
Live and Reloaded includes the complete Bad Fur Day with revamped graphics and a few new jokes. This sizable adventure would be worth the $50 alone, but the single-player campaign is only half of what Live and Reloaded has to offer. A class-based online multiplayer game is also in the works and is receiving the majority of Rare's attention. Come March, you'll finally be able to experience (or re-discover) Conker's Bad Fur Day and enjoy some promising Xbox Live play.
Rare is being very tight-lipped about Conker, but having played Bad Fur Day when it was released in 2000 and having spent time with multiplayer at E3 2004, we know what's in store for gamers in early 2005.
To help promote what is already one of our favorite games of 2005, we're bringing you our list of the Ten Best Things About Conker: Live and Reloaded. This wasn't an easy list to compile. After all, there's a lot of things we love about Conker himself and about the game. Ultimately, tough choices had to be made. We left off the Great Mighty Poo, for example, because he is so grand that he is beyond any numbering system (and we didn't have any screens or movies of him).
Yep, the foul-mouthed little b*sterd's new adventure will be upon us soon.
Should be great stuff :)

And we've known this for ages, but it's all great news. Bad Fur Day was one of the many highlights of the '64.
How much?
Hopefully, they'll include loads of things.
One that i'd like to see, is the ability to have Red team have a different weapon set to Blue, or greeen team. So you can have Samurai's Vs Lightsabres, or Grenade Launchers Vs Rocket Launchers. Should be good. Especially for custom games like Michael Myers and Predator.
I think HALO has set a benchmark for LIVE gaming... but I think Conker will be a better LIVE game. Purely because it's been given the most attention. Plus, we're talking RARE here... Goldeneye, Lap-Top Guns and all!
I might e-mail them with the team weapon sets idea. Hopefully it'll take off.
As for Live, yes, extremely hopefull.
