Conker’s Bad Fur Day hasn’t been in the public eye much (or at all) in recent years, but pop star and rapper Doja Cat just put the bad-mouthed squirrel in front of 24 million people.
Conker’s Bad Fur Day has certainly grown into a cult classic thanks to some creative levels, alongside the juxtaposition between developer Rare’s Banjo-Kazooie-like cartoony designs and some of the raunchiest scenes you’ll find on the Nintendo 64. It was almost a South Park episode wearing a mascot platformer’s clothing, and it was kind of a miracle that Nintendo greenlit the project at all.

I’m kind of in love with this Halloween outfit. It’s camp. It’s exaggerated. It’s just niche enough to be cool, but not so obscure that it simply elicits a “huh?”. She even has polygonal bees hovering around her for crying out loud. Plus, after posting the cosplay in front of 24 million Instagram followers, Conker probably hasn’t gotten this much attention in his entire life. At least any future Conker projects - if they ever happen - will have a guaranteed celebrity endorsement to rely on.
Rare andXbox Game Studioshave yet to comment on these unfolding events.
