Mini-Scribes – September 13th 2010

by Lerako on Sep 13th, 2010

Q: since 2011 will be conkers 10th anniversary will you make a new online war between the SHC and the TEDIZ for the xbox live market place
   Not Bartyhead

A: Every year is the anniversary of something, man. We can’t work on those principles, our lives would be an ongoing torrent of stress. For example, 2010 is the 10th anniversary of Mickey’s Speedway USA and the 20th anniversary of A Nightmare on Elm Street on the NES, but I don’t think we’ve got any Marketplace tie-ins planned. Not even an XBLA Krueger Kart mash-up of the two. Although, come to think of it, that would be pretty excellent.

Q: So why are you calling it Mini-Scribes and not Snippets?
   Also, Leigh, you deserve a medal for putting up with our letters for over 12 years.
   Bryan Skinner

A: Ha ha ha, over 12 years. As if it could… possibly… *twitch*
   It’s not really Snippets because ‘proper’ Scribes letters are thrown in too. Just not the monster twelve-paragraph efforts that some people feel obliged to send – we’ll save those for ‘proper’ Scribes.

Q: Greetings, I’m a really big Conker fan and this question may interest you.
   Do you remember Honker the evil counterpart of Conker? I’ve been here wondering: would he have appeared in Twelve Tales or Other Bad Day? Wondering these questions my imagination sprang forward. I came up with crazy ideas on what happened to him: Is he dead? Is he lost? Did he get taken away by the character police? Finally I came up with an even crazier idea: Maybe he is on an epic adventure in a land where forgotten Rareware characters reside. This is just like a small idea but the rest is enough to plan a full game. My question is: What are your thoughts on this? I thought it would be interesting to see what you thought.

A: Honker the skunk? A forgotten character? The very idea! He’s much-loved.
   Bad Fur Day/Live & Reloaded designer Chris says: “Honker was a creation of someone else, so not official Conker canon.” Oh. Spoke too soon. “There was going to be an evil version of Conker in Other Bad Day, but he had nothing to do with Honker, more like dark Spider-Man in Spider-Man 3 or the Smeagol/Gollum dynamic rather than an actual separate character.” So there you go.
