Within the 20 years since Microsoft acquired Uncommon in 2002, the studio has solely produced one precise recreation within the Conker sequence, which was the 2005 remake of Conker’s Unhealthy Fur Day known as Conker: Dwell and Reloaded on the unique Xbox. I don’t understand how effectively a foulmouthed squirrel passing by a sequence of film homages and crude, violent humor would play in 2022, however that hasn’t stopped me from remembering how into that unique recreation I used to be as a younger, impressionable pre-teen.
As a result of I had such fond (very probably rose-colored) reminiscences of these video games, it’s annoying that Microsoft purchased Uncommon and has largely prevented a lot of the studio’s legacy video games, however been prepared to make use of them in noncommittal methods, equivalent to dropping the 2016 Hololens expertise Younger Conker and placing the character in Challenge Spark. Effectively, Microsoft and Uncommon have as soon as once more put Conker’s face on one thing that’s not a brand new recreation, and it’s a collaboration with G Gasoline for a Mighty Poo-branded power method.
God, the place to even start with this? For these not within the know, the Nice Mighty Poo was a boss character in Conker’s Unhealthy Fur Day that was a sentient mountain of shit. Only a massive boy of defecation. Not solely did it’s important to combat precise dwelling poop, it sang. It had a beautiful singing voice supplied by Chris Marlow, who nonetheless works on the studio to today. But it surely appears G Gasoline is invoking its title for this collaboration, and who amongst us doesn’t wish to be serious about sentient poop whereas we’re getting ready our power drinks?
G Gasoline is promoting this by a $60 field set, which incorporates each the Mighty Poo method, and a vinyl determine of the titular excrement from Youtooz that I’m certain can be enjoyable to elucidate at events. Nonetheless, the one choice you have got for the time being is to hitch the waitlist earlier than pre-orders are stay. The field set will begin delivery in April of subsequent 12 months.
Whereas Microsoft continues to place Conker in issues that aren’t new video video games, I suppose, we are able to all play Conker: Dwell and Reloaded as an Xbox backwards suitable recreation, or play the unique Conker’s Unhealthy Fur Day as a part of the Uncommon Replay assortment.
