...and not even the Microsoft takeover will stop him from playing Killer Instinct on his SP.
As some of you may be aware, Conker's Bad Fur Day is being remade for the Xbox. "Who cares?" you cry? "I came here for GameCube news, not that damned Xbox! I never liked Rare anyway! They betrayed Nintendo!"
And so on. Well, hold your horses, Negative Nancy, and take a look at this:
Seems that while you may not like Rare, Rare's still quite fond of Nintendo. That's a Game Boy Advance SP in Conker's hot little hands. For those who remember the original Bad Fur Day, Conker had a couple of neat idling animations when you left him in the main overworld. Sometimes he'd whistle, sometimes he'd look at a..er, specialist magazine, and sometimes he'd whip out his Game Boy for a quick game of Killer Instinct.
And now, to madly read far too much into this amusing screenshot. There's definitely a green bar at the top of that screen, and what appears to be two characters facing each other. Add to this the recent comment from Rare's GBA team in their "Tepid Seat" column:
Hopefully there will be more GBA games to come - KI & KI2 would be ideal for the GBA.
Reading far too much into this? Most likely. But it sure is fun to speculate, isn't it?
