Look, we've already debunked this myth. Conker was in development long before Saving Private Ryan. Spielberg was a huge Nintendo fan. He wanted to prove he could make a new Mario movie and when he saw test footage of Conker, he made a scene in homage to that game. Nintendo took one look at it and filed a "cease and decide" order.

Spielberg went on to make Saving Private Ryan and changed all of the animals into people. The rest is cinematic history. You young gamers don't know anything!
