9 Image Changes That Totally Killed Your Favourite Video Game Characters

BAHAHA- oh, sorry.

*regains composure*

There are going to be many instances of 'mass market appeal' being applied to established characters, yet Conker's resurrection as 'Young Conker' for the sake of Microsoft's new Hololens tech ranks as one of the worst.

Why not just use an entirely new character, rather than trying to repurpose someone who built a legacy on swearing, vulgarity and challenging every 'cutesy 3D platformer' trope under the sun? The result is still mostly being kept under wraps as literally nobody who saw it had anything nice to say, though with Project Scorpio and Microsoft in general still getting ready to wow audiences this E3, chances are Conker will be back, too.
