Multiple delays and a lack of updates led to speculation that it had been quietly canceled. Although Rare had a history of making games of this type, the company was influenced by critical reception of the game's prototype cuteness, resulting in a game design overhaul. The first screenshots suggested that the game would be aimed at a family audience and would feature cute characters and colorful settings. A year later, it was revealed that the game's title was changed to Twelve Tales: Conker 64 and players would be able to control Conker in action-based scenarios and Berri in strategy-based scenarios, with the possibility of Game of split screen for two players.
In June 1997 the game was shown at E3 1997 under the title Conker's Quest. 2 Player Cooperation: Two players in adventure mode.Duel to the death: It was never revealed, only said.The game has featured different multiplayer modes, which are as follows: Using Conker in the single player mode the levels would be more adventure and action, while using Berri the levels would be strategy. There would also be seven vehicles that you would use to reach new areas. The available moves that Conker was going to have were: "swirl with the tail" and "throw chocolate candy" (among others). Also to go picking nuts in the progress of the story. Most of the music seems to be scrapped, save for a few tracks (such as the mini-game track, which was later reused for the Fire Imps before The Big Big Guy), as well as the theme of a Roman-themed world that was used as the theme for "Jet Force Gemini".Īccording to a preview that IGN showed, the game was about Conker and Berri having to search through four different worlds, to collect 100 stolen gifts, as well as go to the rescue of kidnapped friends. Some assets were kept from the original version, like the flowers in the Hungover chapter, the scarecrow, and the windmill, but for the most part the game was completely different. The game released instead was rated "M" and gave Conker's world a more adult tone, with perverted characters, a more grown-up Berri (both in personality and appearance), and a lead squirrel that now he is an alcoholic. While it was first believed to be a joke, the game was nevertheless replaced by Conker's Bad Fur Day. However, due to criticism towards Rareware, the game was redesigned. The game was to be (presumably never received an actual rating) an adventure game for children. Twelve Tales: Conker 64 (originally titled Conker's Quest ) is a canceled video game that was in development at the same time as Banjo-Kazooie.
