"The Conkers backlash has begun in the USA with many stores
refusing to stock the title due to it’s adult content, even thought it has
been labelled as Mature with an ‘M’ logo on the front of the box. The
box also carries the message "ADVISORY: THIS GAME IS NOT
FOR ANYONE UNDER AGE 17" on three different sides. Still, the
moral majority have latched onto a new target and Many
newspapers have run negative stories on the game. One such item
from the LA Times on March 7th quoted a mother comparing
Nintendo selling Conkers to "Disney releasing pornography". There’s
nothing like America’s white middle class moral standing is there?
Meanwhile, Major game retailer KB Toys has stated that it will not
stock the game in any of its 1300 stores across the nation or it’s
website. The media hysteria over Conkers Bad Fur Day has been
fuelled by the game’s violent and sexual content, as well as the
swearing and gore it contains. Which, even we admit is too strong for
children but the box has been labelled very clearly, stating that it’s an
adult game. So what exactly is the problem? Go figure"

It's typical Americans going over the top again!
If it was a film or something like that then they would think "cool!"
However this is a game exclusive to Nintendo's "cute" system using a "cute" character. Now many people have said that Nintendo always use cute and babyish games, well this is just one of them, but with gore and swearing!
It's clearly for adults, it says all over the box, just like a video with an age rating on it has, so there shouldn't be any problem!
In America there are too many Flanders's (Flanders based on the family in The Simpsons)

In had no idea it had that in it!:O
Hmmmm....
I bet the game will sell better as a result. It's now so hyped up for being rude adults will want to get it. It'll be hard to find, ands this will increase hype and demand. Nintendo will have something other than Pokemon keeping them alive! (until the GC and GBA)

Damn Americans, don't know what is good for them. I didn't think this will happen and I am sure it won't in England! BUT trust the damn yanks they could make a good enough game if Rare slapped the code in their face!!! Losers!
Nonsense: The penalty of typing too fast.
I meant they COULDN'T make a good game if Rare slapped the code in their face.

There is always a minority who have to find something to criticise. These are the sort of people who just go out looking for controversy - Bloody too gooders!!
If it didnt have a Mature rating on the box then I could understand, but as it clearly states 'strictly for adults' then what is the damn problem??
Remember when South Park was first shown, it recieved exactly the same sort of bad publicity - But it is and always has been adult entertainment, same with CBFD!!

I think Nintendo teamed up with Playboy to do a competition involving Conker.
That would explain it then!!
Ah a busty women will be in there though......as a bunny rabbit!
