Could you imagine a Nintendo title being advertised like this today? (Conker's Bad Fur Day, N64)

This was printed in Playboy magazine in April 2001.
It's hard to explain to people who weren't around back then how loose the "rules" were for making games. Conker's Bad Fur Day was definitely trying to market itself as edgy, but aside from some faith-based groups who would be upset, nobody really cared.
If you’re going to make a lewd ad about finding nuts, having his face stuffed between a man’s legs makes way more sense imo.
Haha the culture in 2001 was not ready for that kind of humor. Maybe not even today.
