Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Rare was the reason to own an N64 (and some Nintendo games). It's quite sad to see the shell of their former glory at Microsoft. I remember all the nights I'd spent playing Conker's multiplayer with my cousins, seriously, between this and Perfect Dark, we didn't needed your stinkin' Xboxes and your stinkin' Halos.
And yes, I remember in a mexican videogames show (Club Nintendo) they showed some footage of Twelve Tales: Conker 64 (Bad Fur Day sounds a lot better IMO) and I remember thinking "meh, looks like a bad copy of Banjo-Kazooie", boy I'm glad I was wrong and they changed the direction of the game drastically.
I miss you Rare :'(
