To do:
Oh dear god, there is a lot more! So much was borrowed from Twelve Tales and used in BFD!

Conker's Bad Fur Day was initially a cutesy platformer akin to Banjo-Kazooie called Twelve Tales: Conker 64. However, derision from appearances in the late 90s caused a design shift to an adult audience. Thus, when Rare announced the revamped game on April Fool's Day 2000, many initially presumed it was a joke.

For better or worse, it wasn't. The game was released in 2001, as the Nintendo 64 was on its way out.

Early Western world theme

Footage

A solid half-hour of footage, given to parties such as journalists. It showcases many of the worlds the player would have gone to. Clips of this footage also appeared on the Nintendo Power promotional VHS for Banjo-Kazooie.

"Rare Revealed" was a series of videos that was included in Rare Replay, with some videos being uploaded to YouTube on Rare's channel. This video takes a look at Twelve Tales, along with a brief note on what came before: an early build called Conker's Quest.

Photos

Several photos were uploaded in the official website of the game.

E3 Trailer

The game was first shown off at E3 2000, but it had numerous differences compared to the final game.

There's a title screen present. This is intact in the ECTS build, but it requires hacking in order to access it.
The menu is much less complete and only a few events can be selected.
The gray squirrel at 4:38 has the unused walkie-talkie model.
The pause menu is quite incomplete. There's no special graphics for the menu drawn yet.

Promo Trailer

A promo trailer created by Rare, seemingly based on the E3 build mentioned above. The sound quality is noticeably cleaner on many of the voice clips. There are a couple of unused scenes here and there, including one of the fire imps eating up something.
