History VideoGame / TwelveTalesConker64

''Twelve Tales: Conker 64'' is an unreleased UsefulNotes/Nintendo64 platformer by Creator/{{Rare}}. It was ultimately retooled into ''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay''.

However, that's not to say Conker's younger incarnation never made it past development of ''Twelve Tales''. Conker appeared as an EarlyBirdCameo in ''VideoGame/DiddyKongRacing'' and he also appeared in the UsefulNotes/GameBoyColor title ''VideoGame/ConkersPocketTales''. According to promotional material for ''Conker's Bad Fur Day: Live and Reloaded'', both ''Twelve Tales'' and ''Pocket Tales'' canonically took place when Conker was a kid.

''Conker's Bad Fur Day'' kept the cute character designs, but aged up Conker into a drunk, cynical adult. Full of violence, cursing, and ToiletHumor, ''Conker's Bad Fur Day'' ended up becoming one of the most infamous games ever due to the SubvertedKidsShow theme.

Originally titled ''Conker's Quest'', the game starred a FunnyAnimal squirrel named Conker. Conker and his girlfriend Berri travel through a brightly-coloured world collecting a hundred house-warming gifts that were stolen by the Hoodlums. There was numerous different levels, including a wild western-level, gladiator arena level, and jungle level.

While the game was praised for its promising nature, several critics bemoaned Rare doing ''another'' cute platformer. They had previously released ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'', ''Banjo-Tooie'', and ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong64'' on the console. ''Twelve Tales: Conker 64'' would be their fourth and final collectathon for the Nintendo 64, though it had been in production alongside the original ''Banjo-Kazooie''. In response to the criticism, Rare did something unheard of: Mid-development they overhauled their cute kid's game into a ''very'' adult title.
