Within the 20 years since Microsoft acquired Uncommon in 2002, the studio has solely produced one precise recreation within the Conker collection, which was the 2005 remake of Conker’s Dangerous Fur Day known as Conker: Dwell and Reloaded on the unique Xbox. I don’t know the way nicely a foulmouthed squirrel passing by means of a collection of film homages and crude, violent humor would play in 2022, however that hasn’t stopped me from remembering how into that authentic recreation I used to be as a younger, impressionable pre-teen.
As a result of I had such fond (very possible rose-colored) reminiscences of these video games, it’s annoying that Microsoft purchased Uncommon and has largely averted a lot of the studio’s legacy video games, however been prepared to make use of them in noncommittal methods, resembling dropping the 2016 Hololens expertise Younger Conker and placing the character in Mission Spark. Properly, 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 system.
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 Dangerous Fur Day that was a sentient mountain of shit. Only a huge boy of defecation. Not solely did it’s important to struggle precise dwelling poop, it sang. It had a beautiful singing voice supplied by Chris Marlow, who nonetheless works on the studio to this present day. However it appears G Gasoline is invoking its title for this collaboration, and who amongst us doesn’t wish to be excited about sentient poop whereas we’re making ready our power drinks?
G Gasoline is promoting this by means of a $60 field set, which incorporates each the Mighty Poo system, and a vinyl determine of the titular excrement from Youtooz that I’m positive could be enjoyable to elucidate at events. Nonetheless, the one possibility you might have in the meanwhile is to affix the waitlist earlier than pre-orders are dwell. The field set will begin transport in April of subsequent yr.
Whereas Microsoft continues to place Conker in issues that aren’t new video video games, I assume, we will all play Conker: Dwell and Reloaded as an Xbox backwards appropriate recreation, or play the unique Conker’s Dangerous Fur Day as a part of the Uncommon Replay assortment.
