Within the 20 years since Microsoft acquired Uncommon in 2002, the studio has solely produced one precise sport within the Conker collection, which was the 2005 remake of Conker’s Unhealthy Fur Day referred to as Conker: Reside and Reloaded on the unique Xbox. I don’t understand how nicely a foulmouthed squirrel passing by 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 sport 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 averted a lot of the studio’s legacy video games, however been prepared to make use of them in noncommittal methods, comparable to dropping the 2016 Hololens expertise Younger Conker and placing the character in Undertaking Spark. Effectively, Microsoft and Uncommon have as soon as once more put Conker’s face on one thing that’s not a brand new sport, and it’s a collaboration with G Gasoline for a Mighty Poo-branded vitality 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 you must struggle precise dwelling poop, it sang. It had a beautiful singing voice offered by Chris Marlow, who nonetheless works on the studio to today. Nevertheless 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 getting ready our vitality 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 could be enjoyable to clarify at events. Nonetheless, the one choice you may 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 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: Reside and Reloaded as an Xbox backwards appropriate sport, or play the unique Conker’s Unhealthy Fur Day as a part of the Uncommon Replay assortment.
