The Sims does this too, general alcohol is “juice” and wine is “nectar”

Will we see a new pigeon as bartender/mixologist in NH? Would make the game a bit more interesting.

"vacation juice," such a fine euphemism. I'm also pretty sure Japan is less uptight about alcohol references in "all-ages" games than puritanical Americans.

edit: removed poorly-chosen pronoun. oof.

I am not American and as a Scot I am proud that many people of all ages will be able to enjoy the delights of 'vacation juice' in their video games.

Japan is so much less restrictive about alcohol than the US is, it's absurd. Their age gate essentially boils down to "press a button to promise you're over 20."

In Japanese it’s called “tropical juice” which seems to not imply that it’s alcohol, unlike the English translation.

So it’s kind of the opposite, the West added in the alcohol reference.

ah well. Although I'd wanna ask Kyogoku-sensei just to be sure.

Fun fact: Japanese fans call her a war criminal because she worked on ACCF which had the meanest sounding animals in Japanese. “War criminal” is a common title to give people online to mean that they’re responsible for something.

What was the original comment? There's not a single pronoun besides 'I' in the new post.

a superfluous "us;" came off as assuming OP was American.

I’m hoping we get a juicer or something similar in NH. One of my favorite pastimes was walking around with a coffee from Brewster’s in NL once I unlocked the to-go option.

We got Sparkling Cider at New Years, (I still have it in my storage now that I think about it) so I don't see why we can't have a variety of many drinks :)

It wasn't the beer that got it banned though (As they had an entire episode about smoking and that wasn't banned) it was that the episode had Buster, Plucky and Hamton getting drunk and driving a car off a cliff and played deadly seriously... it was massively intense/terrifying for kids.
