Rareware had spent all those delays turning the once cutesy Banjo-Kazooie clone into a very controversial game. It's still being worked on by a full team and with the same level of dedication as when it was first announced." In early 2000, Rareware announced an updated name for the wayward Conker sequel, Conker's Bad Fur Day, which was still scheduled for a release. In October of 1999, Rareware updated it's online FAQ concerning the title by saying, "No, it hasn't. Over the course of 19, Conker was delayed a few times and fans speculated whether it had been canceled. Rareware started to become quiet about the game's development at this point.
