I'd like to propose a toast to all the other stupid ****ers like myself who, while playing as Cloud, without a doubt, absolutely, definitively, HAVE to push the left or right taunt button when picking up an Assist Trophy or Pokeball. Congratulations, you're a rare ****ing breed.
That's me..I also have to use it when getting a Summon Materia in Midgar..
I have literally never heard of it until now nor did I know it was even a word and I have constantly made that typo numerous times in the past but always managed to catch it. The more you know I guess.
Same here..explains why its in my phone's autocorrect..
He was a Nintendo Mascot from his inception until his sale. Like, he was used for Nintendo marketing even when Banjo wasn't specifically a part of what was being sold. He was up there with Mario for as long as he was around.
Indeed he was, Banjo-Kazooie and Mumbo Jumbo also had official Nintendo Bean Bag Plushes released in the same line as characters from Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Diddy Kong Racing, and Yoshi's Story.
Those plushies being Mario, Bowser, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Luigi, Wario, Toad, Diddy Kong, Peach, Baby Yoshi (in many colours, like my black one), Banjo-Kazooie, and Mumbo-Jumbo.
They were seen as A-Listers along with those characters..considering how many of those characters weren't from Super Mario 64 or Mario Kart 64, they must have been seen as fairly important since that list would just be Diddy Kong, Baby Yoshi, Banjo-Kazooie, and Mumbo Jumbo.

Okay, hot take...

Milk in cereal is disgusting... no matter which you pour, first.

It ruins the flavor, and you just end up with soggy cereal mush soup...

The only way to eat cereal is dry. End of story
But it's the best when the cereal gets soft so it doesn't slice open the roof of my mouth.


...I think I have an overly-sensitive mouth, now that I think about it.

Banjo was actually a pretty big deal back in the day and helped solidify Rare as Nintendo's golden boy.
It's quite telling that people still talk about and remember the games quite fondly, when 90% of the other platformers from that generation got banished to the shadow realm.
Yeah, dude I gotcha. So, basically there was only two times in history Mario was "dethroned" as Nintendo's mascot. One was in 1994 after the release of Donkey Kong Country, where DK became front and center for a while, and again from 1998-2001, where Banjo-Kazooie was basically Nintendo's mascot. I mean Mario will always be the face of Nintendo no doubt, but DKC and Banjo were such major worldwide phenomenon that the Plumber had an metaphorical "sibling rivalry" going on at those times.
Man, even his legacy screams nostalgia: the character. :bobomb:

Milk first Vs Cereal first
Cereal first, duh. You put the amount of cereal you want in so that the milk and be poured on top and fill the bowl as needed. Milk first means that the cereal will float as you add it so you either have too little milk or cereal.

Reception of the final product aside, Yooka-Laylee wouldn’t have had an incredibly successful Kickstarter campaign if there wasn’t a demand or fondness for Banjo-Kazooie.

technically, by how you usually test displacement, milk goes first

however, there are fast-moving tiny drops of grain that will send milk everywhere and also are too light to sink to the bottom effectively

so cereal first gets all of that junk in nice, vitamin d goodness

If people don't want to talk about Banjo vs. Steve.

How about Erdrick vs. Sora then. :troll:
Sora would be way cooler because he would have a more unique moveset. S O A N Y W A Y S B A C K T O B A N J O.

Banjo just has a ton of small things that point to his inclusion. The Duck Hunt/Swordfighter glitches, the fan polls, Phil Spencer's tweets, it all adds up. Now, I'm no sleuth, but all of these little things make Banjo seem a bit more likely than he might initially seem to be. Once again, it's just a hunch, so there's no reason to be a...
Stop trying to act cool, because you are failing terribly.
That's the most generic legacy I've ever heard.


can you put this in laymans terms because it's almost midnight dude


im gonna have to stop you there
...Jerk about it.

As did Isaac, Skull Kid and Shadow. Look how those turned out...

I would keep expectations low if I were you to avoid being disappointed again.

It's like war reenactments. :p

So you ask people to tell you about Banjo's legacy, prompting a few people to actually tell you the impact he had in that generation of gaming, and then you brush it off as nostalgia.
yeah ok dude

Agreed about the last part.

First part? "Everything adds up" is a dangerous line of thought, but you already seem careful about it.

While on the note of cereal, last time I went shopping, I saw there was a new brand that was based off Pop-Tarts and out of pure curiosity I decided to pick up a box. Word of warning, unless you like the taste of pure sugar and feeling of your teeth slowly rotting, I recommend not picking it up.

I feel like Banjo has slightly more stuff pointing to him. All three of those pretty much only had "where's the assist trophy?" to back them up (Though, Shadow also had the echo fighter argument). I really cannot stress this enough, but for me Banjo is just a hunch. I'm not extremely over confident about his inclusion, and I really hope people don't start demonizing me for having an opinion. I doubt that will happen though, because I expect more of Smashboards.

My stance in this is "we make our own canon, *******"
We do. Perhaps the better wording is that Selene is the female Sun/Moon trainer's official name. That is undisputable since they used it for the Figma Figure at the very least.
However, you can use whatever name you want for them. This is true for any character you name in Video Games.
Don't like the name 'Nier' for the main character of NieR? Don't use it.
Don't want to call the Persona 5 protagonist Ren Amamiya? You can name him something else.
Want to name Link 'Erdrick'? Go ahead.
Those are all fine. However, they have names considered as their official names and those are what a lot, or even most, people will refer to them as.
Do I like using the name Hilda for the BW Female Trainer? No, not at all, but using that name makes it easier for people to know who I am referring to without having to type out more characters then necessary.
I'm currently calling the female trainer for Sword & Shield 'Fiona' or 'Lydia', but we'll have to see what their 'official' names end up being and if I'd rather use that name or if I'll do what I did with X & Y and choose my own (I called her Aimee rather then Serena)
