Gaming [Will] Conker's Bad Fur Day [ever be released] for Virtual Console (Wii U)?

[sion_zaphod]

Conker as playable character in a Smash Bros. game. Probably the only way Nintendo users are gonna see the character agin.

 

[The Real Jdbye]

I doubt it, since there's a remake of it on XBox.

 

[bowser]

I guess Nintendo didn't like the giant turd boss. Miyamoto must have been all like "Are you shitting me?! Rare just took a dump on our image. Let's sell this crap!"

But I freaking loved this game

Phil Spencer from Xbox has said that bringing Banjo Kazzoie is possible to Smash if Nintendo wanted so it's really just a matter of negotiations.

I doubt Microsoft sees Nintendo add their real competition, hence they have no problems with that.
Imagine if Sony asked Microsoft for their permission to use their stuff in a game.

You know that site's full of crap right?

speaking of Conker and Rareware games, would it be easier to emulate the xbox live versions of Banjo and Conker than the N64 versions?

Most likely. Xbox and Xbox 360 are much easier to emulate.

However no one's really bothered to make an emulator.

conker's Final Smash GET DRUNK and PISS ON EVERY ONE. THIRD PERSON VIEW or PUKE since it's a teen rated game... it would be nice if this would happen.

I found a flyer for Nintendo Power in my Mega Man 64 box with Conker and Joanna Dark on it.

Still, if people actually bothered they could probably make a better emulator than the many crappy N64 emulators.

I never said N64 emulators aren't crap
Speaking of crappy emulators...

What's wrong with pcsx2? All of the 3ds emulators are far worse. Not to mention the new ps3 emulator. And the barely-started-yet-already-years-old original xbox and xbox360 emulators. Nothing against the devs of those projects, I wouldn't know where to begin on coding something that complex. I agree about n64 though, after 20 years, there's no excuse for their current state.

The ps3, xbox 360 and 3ds emulators are a bit early to judge.
PCSX2 like N64 emulators has had lots of time to become better but it hasn't. It still uses hacks, plugins, and used to have bundleware.
It doesn't even compare to Dolphin.
But to be fair it doesn't have as much contributors so that might be why there hasn't been as much progress.

I thought PCSX2 was on par with Dolphin though I haven't checked in a few years. Though It's not as good as PSOne emulators and PS2 is just a more powerful PSOne isn't it?

 

[Jayro]

Nope. Microsoft owns it.

Microsoft owns the rights to Rare, yet they released DK64 on virtual console... So why not the rest of Rare's N64 library? They made the best games for the system, and took advantage of the hardware.

By a fair comparison, the gamecube and Wii are very simple systems to emulate, being of the PPC architecture and not very complicated. The N64 and PS2 used RISC chips of the MIPS architecture, and require dynamic recompilers. Those are never perfect, and usually far from running fast. N64 emulators have been making babysteps over the decades, but progress is progress, no matter how small.

 

[Bimmel]

Even I could've tell you that. Never ever my friend.

And let my Smash Bros. alone with this crude character.

Shouldn't be long till Wii U is emulated then.
