That literally isn't a thing.

It is supposed to be a joke.

 

[Noipoi]

That means a leprechaun is going to pinch my nipples in the middle of the night in Saint Patrick's Day.

que?

 

[Wademan94]

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

I’m like that is well and the only exception I make for that is Oreo-O’s, cause it feels like a sin to not have anything involving Oreo’s not in milk.

 

[Roberk]

And its March!

You can't just LIE on the internet, how could you?

Generally in Britain, if the minor is 16 they can drink alcohol at a restaurant with a meal, so if Shield is 16 it's technically legal.

I believe that in France, the drinking age is "Any age as long as a parent or legal guardian is present, 18 otherwise" or something like that.

For real though what would your Dream DLC be? (Including up-to three Bonuses and Three Seasons if you want)

Spoiler: Mine would be

Season 1:
-Joker
-Erdrick (only cause I respect Erdrick fans and cause he is super likely)
-Geno
-Banjo
-Sans

Bonus: Isaac

Season 2:
-Chorus Kids
-Mach Rider
-Skull Kid
-Duster
-Doom Guy

Bonus: Rex/Pyra

Season 3:
-Elma
-Dixie
-Steve
-Pokemon S/S Trainer
-Jimmy T.

Bonus: Scorpion

Season 1: Joker, Erdrick, Banjo, Agumon, ??? (e.g. "Gen 8 Pokémon" or "Astral Chain Protags" or "Byleth/Edelgard" or something)
Season 2: Geno, Isaac, Lyn, Waluigi, Ashley

Jokes are supposed to be funny.

That was just weird.

 

[Deleted member]

It's March! I wonder what crazy stuff this month has in-store. Maybe Geno comes back into Speculation, Maybe Banjo becomes likely.. I'm curious.

 

[Zinith]

My stummy hurts.

That's what you get from taking dieting advice from my boi

But in all seriousness, get well soon

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I just can't see Nintendo passing up the opportunity of including Steve. I just can't honestly especially all the money they'd make from just including him.

If it were Sakurai choosing DLC I'd understand Banjo being added to please the fans.

 

[Deleted member]

Don't want to call the Persona 5 protagonist Ren Amamiya?

His name is Akira though

It's rough being a Geno fan

It is supposed to be a joke.

A joke has setup and a punchline. Without that, nobody's going to get it.

Isn't that manga-only? Everything else afterwards used Ren Mama Mia, IIRC.

My goodness...

Oreo-O's are soooo good!

But man, they hurt your gums with all that sugar.

You all took my post way too seriously.

Banjo & Steve will share a reveal trailer in Smash 7, releasing November 2028.

It's been March in the UK for five hours now, 6 in Europe in general.

March Hares.

Man, even his legacy screams nostalgia: the character.

You have to visualize yourself as a Nintendo kid around those times. Banjo was more a Nintendo character than Samus was in our minds back then.

Imagine that say, Pokemon had just come out right? It was great, everyone loved it, it was a Nintendo phenomenon, all of a sudden Nintendo releases a mascot fighting game with ALL its famous characters but Pikachu isn't there. So, we're all like, "where is Pikachu?" So, we wait for next game and we're all like "Ah, yeah he's definitely in this time!" And then no Pikachu. And then a year later Pokemon is sold off to Microsoft. All hope is lost. Pikachu will never get to fight Mario in Smash Bros. 2 decades pass and finally, FINALLY there's a glimmer of hope that, hey, Pikachu is actually possible again!

Now, that's a situation in a timeline that never happened but if you go up there and replace Pokemon and Pikachu with Banjo and you can see where we're coming from. It's more about fulfillment than Nostalgia.

Most people don't know that Smash 64 was my first Smash, we weren't the most wealthy family, so when I got my hands on Smash after playing my 64 with Mario 64, DK64, and Banjo, I immediately said "Wait, where's Banjo?" To a kid of the N64 not seeing Banjo in Smash was like, the weirdest ****ing thing. Banjo has just been a long time coming and if he finally does make it in it'll feel like 2 decades of wishes finally coming true. Even before the internet, before K. Rool, before Ridley, the first character that people said "Where is he?" Was Banjo.

Some hot food takes for y'all, since it's the topic of conversation:

I don't like milk in my cereal, I don't like dipping Oreos in milk, and I don't like putting Pop-Tarts in the toaster before I eat them.

People told me it was the game's canon name when I started P5

I used to dunk my doritos into mountain dew.

Yup, manga name isn't canon anymore. Used to be during launch but that isn't the case anymore.

Say goodbye to Minato Arisato and Akiria Kurusu, say hello to Makoto Yuki and Rem Amamiya.

Technically speaking, Nintendo gave Soccer Guy a list of fighters to choose from, and if Banjo, Steve and Chief were on that list, I think he would choose Banjo.

But then again, trying to predict Soccer Guy is impossible so we might as well start speculating the Battle Bus as a DLC fighter.

 

[Deleted member]

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...


...Jerk about it.

Okay, I have to agree that Sora would be cooler than Banjo.

Edit: You did not mean Banjo, but I would take Sora over Banjo.

 

[TheCJBrine]

so I'd tried to find the link to where Craig Duncan, Rare's Studio Head, said fans don't actually want B-K, they just think they do...but I can't find it, I can only find people on Reddit talking about it 2 months ago and I know people in the B-K thread brought it up...

But we do have Banjo-Kazooie getting merchandise for their anniversary last year, and Loot Crates having their franchise this month, Phil Spencer talking about them, rumors and a leaker's tweets that may or may not be true even if they seem credible...

 

[Opossum]

Okay, I have to agree that Sora would be cooler than Banjo.

He was saying Sora would be cooler than Erdrick.

I assume you're striving to be like Pope Keighley?

 

[Wademan94]

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)

In my case, for more story driven experiences like Zelda, Persona and even Pokémon, I prefer to use the official names, for some reason I can’t take the story seriously when my name is used, for stuff like Animal Crossing though I go all in representing myself.

My goodness...

Oreo-O's are soooo good!

But man, they hurt your gums with all that sugar.

I know! I’m SOOO glad they brought them back but they’re just as addicting as regular Oreo’s!

 

[Dee Dude]

We talking Banjo? Sweet, that actually reminds me.

SGB are doing a playthrough of Banjo-Kazooie right now.

I like milk in my cereal but I'm fine eating it dry. I never dipped Oreos in milk, too much effort, just lemme eat the damn thing. Untoasted pop-tarts depend on the flavor.

 

[Deleted member]

Okay, I have to agree that Sora would be cooler than Banjo.

I was saying that Sora would be cooler than Erdrick, tho I want Banjo and Sora equally. Sora seems a bit less likely due to all the Erdrick evidence, so we'll have to see.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Befor I go to bed, I found this piece of art on twitter

 

[KMDP]

Okay, maybe not a joke.
It was supposed to be a funny statement.

It was a non-sequitur.

 

[Blargg888]

As it stands, we have 809 Pokemon.

The Galarian starters + their evolutions will bring this number up to 818.

If we just get at least 70 new Pokemon, then after all these years, I'll finally have Pokemon #888 in my hands.

We're so close...!

 

[Aurane]

What the hell are you talking about.

It's an Irish thing.

You better have your lucky nipple protection on.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Pokemon at this is basically video games answer to The Simpsons.

It'll never end!

You know Steve would need to please the fans to bring money, right? And if Banjo pleases the fans, he would bring money? It's not really black and white.

Yup, manga name isn't canon anymore. Used to be during launch but that isn't the case anymore.

Say goodbye to Minato Arisato and Akiria Kurusu, say hello to Makoto Yuki and Rem Amamiya.

Manga names were never canon to begin with.
