Conker

Yes, yes, we’re aware that Conker is making his reappearance in Young Conker for the HoloLens, but it hardly encapsulates what made the series so darn memorable. Rather than embracing its crude toilet humor and foul-mouthed protagonist, the HoloLens title brings a far goofier-looking Conker into what looks like a child-friendly platformer. Hardly what Conker was all about back in his prime.

What fans really want is something that hasn’t forgotten what made the series so special. With Playtonic Games having recently released Banjo-Kazooie spiritual successor Yooka-Laylee to a somewhat positive reception, there’s always hope. As long as fans get more bizarre boss battles and a foul-mouthed, anthropomorphic animal, it’d no doubt go down a treat. At least much better than the HoloLens sequel no doubt will, anyway.
