In early 2000, Nintendo, Rare and Conker had a news conference in Seattle. If game marketing can be used as any indication of what audience Nintendo and Rare is targeting, parents beware. Conker's BFD ads found their way into popular men's magazines such as Maxim, Men's Fitness, Details and Playboy. Nintendo Power, the game company's official monthly publication, decided not to run any reviews for Conker, stating the magazine aims at younger audiences. The truth lies in the story.
Conker makes a mistake.
He visits a local bar after unsuccessfully contacting his girlfriend Berri, an attractive gray squirrel. After several more phone calls, Conker leaves a white lie on Berri's answering machine and proceeds to get sloshed with a couple of his friends. Morning comes, and gamers take control of the hung-over squirrel. So, the journey begins. Enemies fart fire, spew profanity like drunken sailors and pretty much epitomize Andy Dick.
