One of Nintendo’s Most Controversial Games Released 25 Years Ago Today

The disappointing sales of Conker’s Bad Fur Day weren’t because of its mature content. Instead, the game simply came out late in the Nintendo 64’s lifespan. Gamers were already looking forward to the upcoming Nintendo GameCube, so not many people bought Conker’s when it launched on March 5, 2001 – exactly 25 years ago from today. Even though it didn’t sell well initially, Conker’s quickly became a fan favorite. Players have continued to enjoy it over the years through rereleases and a remake called Conker: Live & Reloaded, which came out for the Xbox in 2005.
