Do you think this confirms the addition of new fruit?

[Silkfawn]

I remember seeing this theory in some youtube video and I'm wondering what y'll think?

In the background we can see bananas and durian.
Everything else in the background already exists in the game except for these two.

No its just the background to their amiibo card which was created during new leaf.

That would be cool. I had to google durian since I'd never heard of it. It sounds delicious.

Sadly theyve been the staple background since series 1 cards released. I dont think we will ever get new fruit even on nook mile islands

I don't know about that. The Chinese fortune cookies aren't in NH as far as I can remember (they were in NL, just like bananas, durians and other things you can see in the background).

I doubt it.

I mean, I'm not completely denying the existence of new fruit, but I don't think that's a hint of that. I think it was SwitchForce who spoke about it and also about the flavors in the vending machines (another thing I don't really means anything).

I'm conflicted about this idea of more fruit being in the game. On the one hand, I feel like it's something relevant enough for Nintendo to show in the Direct, but didn't. However, it also makes me think that maybe Nintendo wants us to explore more about the additional content hidden from what we've seen. In which case I feel there's more to what we've seen in the Mysterious Islands. Likewise, Nintendo was clever enough to only show us the savory tab of the recipes we can cook, so maybe they're hiding the desserts because we might need additional fruit that they've purposely didn't show (like maybe a banana bread or lemon pie?).

But again, I want to keep my expectations low and I'm honestly happy with what we have. It could also be the case that we might not need additional fruit for recipes. Maybe they'll keep all desserts/sweet things limited to the fruit we have.

nah, it looks like a card background to me, and the fruit are cannon but doesn't have to appear in every game.

Actually it may be kinda nice for them to pick and choose what fruits grow in what game. It would be one way to help the games feeling a tad different.
To get ones that don't grow in the game you are playing, perhaps there will be a catalog for imported fruit to order from "another region" because of climate, or elevation, or something.
Not every fruit grows everywhere unless you have a greenhouse.
Or petri's lab lol...

Yesss, it was Switchforce who talked about it; thanks for reminding me!

Now, how do you feel about the seabass dish with the lemons? And I think there was another dish (fish and chips?) that has lemon on top.

I personally don’t think that’s evidence for lemons. It looks like it’s just garnish and not a relevant ingredient, imo

There was someone here who mentioned in the paid dlc version of the trailer that all the tropical trees were fruitless. As if they dropped the fruit before recording to keep the addition of new tropical fruit a hidden secret. Take that as you may.

 

[Croconaw]

I don’t think so. This is just the background of their Amiibo card. It doesn’t mean anything.

We could be getting more fruit and/or more crops. I don't think Nintendo showed us everything in the Direct that will actually be in the update. The easiest evidence of that is this update surely has Turkey Day and Toy Day in it, but they didn't mention those at all.

That being said though, I won't count on them being there until I see them.
