Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

You posted the NL review on a forum on NL? I'm not trying to be salty but isn't that redundant?

Edit: I see you updated your post. Nevermind then.

Nintendo Direct that is gonna detail the Brewster update, is gonna be a 20 minute Direct at 7 am on octobre 15th

@Giancarlothomaz
20 minutes is a lot.
I hope the Direct will not just only about Brewster and his little cafe, but also the returning characters such as Booker & Copper, Digby (How could Nintendo separated the Shih Zhu siblings Isabelle and Digby in ACNH), Katrina, Dr Shrunk, Phineas, etc.

Just in case anyone hasn't seen it yet

Y’all I know you can cook bananas and I like things like chutney or fruit salsas but as a Southerner, I just screamed internally and fainted. I might have clutched some pearls on the way down. Bananas in chili and on a hotdog? No, no I don’t think I can.

My dad will often request a banana to have as a side dish with many foods. Even soups.

No, he doesn't "save it for the end", it actively forms part of the experience.

@Ryu_Niiyama Sonic looked rather distressed too!

@GrailUK I got a good laugh out of Sonic’s reaction. Very cute video. Then again AiAi was like “who broke into my house with food?”

@Eel I respect that. In fact I commend it. That’s healthy and awesome. I know someone that eats bananas with tomato soup (He and I are not from the same state obviously). However some food habits/associations are hard to break.

I felt personally offended (I think sonic did too) when they threw those bananas in. Like my accent came out and I was like “what in the? Bless his heart…” which is southern for “what the $&@% is wrong with you??!” Lol.

@Eel I drink banana smoothies a lot. I'll admit, I have never been any more adventurous with them than that.

I like and accept this new revelation about the southern meaning of “bless his heart”.

I don’t like cooked bananas, or mixing them with other foods, myself. But he loves them.

As a bit of a side story… According to himself, as a child, he once stole a bunch from his family’s store warehouse and ate as many as he could. They had to pump his stomach after finding him unconscious. You’d think that would scare him away from eating them, but no!

On the subject of Monkey Ball, I am quite interested in this one. I wonder if they have sales for these titles regularly? I won’t be able to buy it right now, so I might as well just wait for a sale.

@Anti-Matter i think, the Animal Crossing New Horizon Direct is gonna spent 6 to 10 minutes on Brewster, and the rest on other information like the upcoming series 5 Amiibo card and other possible subtancial content this update might add, this update seen to be very subtancial.

I like bananas. They go nicely in cereal and yoghurt sometimes, and a banana sandwich, with just a lick of honey, is ace.

I went to a pizza place in europe once, they did a tropical pizza with ham, pineapple AND banana. I bought it, and enjoyed it. But another time, I was in a Swedish establishment, and they did a pizza with, amongst other 'stuff', banana on it, and it was the joint-worst thing I've ever eaten, but it wasn't the banana's fault. Swedish cuisine seems generally horrendous. Don't @ me.

Nice video.

A peanut butter and banana sandwich with a bit of honey? Absolutely delicious!! Especially if you put it in a panini press (go light on the honey here or good luck cleaning it).

Yea its definitely my favorite quick lunch at the house.

@Ryu_Niiyama
Bless his heart…” which is southern for “what the $&@% is wrong with you??!”

As a born southerner who spent most of my life in Texas and Alabama…. Can confirm.

Other Belt interpretations include, but are not limited to, “don’t blame them, it’s not their fault God made them stupid from birth” and “they’re too dumb to know any better”

Although sometimes, people just mean, “that poor unfortunate soul”.

Context is key.

@Eel

Sums it up fairly well. You always want to consult your local Southern friend when visiting The South. In general the whole southern hospitality thing is true but we either place too much emphasis on manners (long goodbye or thank you cards) which means you can accidentally insult someone and not know it. Lol. Of course each of these things vary by state except FL (they don’t count) so you have that hurdle too. I find it extra funny because it reminds me of the culture shock I endured in college (until I found some fellow Southerners to form a united front with).

I’m trying to decide. Monkey Ball, Disco Elysium or Metroid? Can only pick one this month.

Oh hey look, 3000 pages.

A thousand pages per Switch iteration. Woop!

@JaxonH Represent! That’s why it’s the perfect phrase.

Like I said I’m from the south, born and raised. I’m pretty chill about it unless a BBQ argument gets started. Then the gloves come off and I get hainty as heck.

Hey you have samurai warriors 5 right? How far have you gotten? Is the frame rate ok? I played the demo but I wanted to ask someone past that point.

Also since banana sandos were mentioned: Anybody eat banana and mayo sandos? I’m not a fan personally, but they aren’t horrible if you have the right mayo (only reason to buy Dukes in my parents’ house).

@Ryu_Niiyama
Metroid. Not only do I think it's the best game of the three, I think it needs the support the most, and you'll enjoy being in the conversation and sharing in the hype with everyone else, and it's the only one that won't see a price drop. The others will, meaning by waiting on them, you save money.

As for Samurai Warriors, I've played about an hour. So probably less than the demo you played. But the framerate was solid, surprisingly. Can't speak for later in the game, but I kinda feel like Warriors games are the same from start to finish. If it managed one map of a thousand enemies, it should manage them all (in theory, anyways).

As for the abominable banana and mayo sandwiches... my dad is a diehard banana sandwich fiend. Never understood it, don't wish to. But apparently, some ppl are into it.

Just keep in mind, my dad is from Louisiana, where they kill wild gators, chop em up and make gator gumbo in oil drums, stirring it with a boat oar for their BBQ picnics. So that may partially explain his culinary preferences.
