Title: Motteke Tamago Title Englishification
Post by: Necromancer on July 01, 2016, 04:42:21 AM
Englishification is a word, right? :mrgreen:
The literal translation doesn't make much sense and "motteke tamago" is just romanization of the moon runes, so what's a good 'real' title for it in English? I'm looking for something that'd fit, something that could easily have been used back in the day had it been brought to the US. I started off with Wild Goose Chase, but there's no geese involved (I think they're all supposed to be ducks), so Dan suggested Wild Duck Chase or Duck, Duck, Egg. I kinda like the latter, but I'm open to suggestions.

Like "do the muscle"? Eggs are protein too, so yeah. :mrgreen:
What's wrong with Mother Duck? It is a duck, and the eggs mean it is a mother.
Use it!
I think nully's title is actually a good candidate, "Mother Duck" could work.

How about "Egg Scramble" or "Scrambled Eggs"

I think the best title is... "Motteke Tamago"

There's a few mentioned that I like (namely Mother Duck, Egg Scramble, Quack Scramble, and Hatchling Havoc), but is there any general consensus on which one(s) fit best? Y'all came up with a lot more suggestions than I was eggspecting, but if we can narrow it down a bit I could stuff the finalists into a poll for voting.
By the way, the name really is going to change if something good can be chosen. This isn't some what if, pie in the sky question.

Duck, Duck, Egg: This name fits because the game involves running around depositing eggs with ducks. It's a pun on the name of a childrens game that also involves running around called Duck, Duck Goose.
Wild Duck Chase: It kind of describes the game in that you control a duck, who is wild and chasing eggs around. It's a pun on the phrase Wild Goose Chase. Scramblin' Eggs or Egg Scramble: The game involves scrambling around gathering eggs. And it's also a play on Scrambled Eggs the name of a popular dish/style of cooking eggs.

So もってけ (motteke) would be something like "Bring It". In this context, it would be something like "Bring on the eggs". But who cares. I'd call it Undeveloped baby fetus party+

I personally like Hatchling Havoc the best so far.
My only contribution would be like, "Duck Dash" or "Dashing Duckies" or the like.

Pretty much, but it's worth it for teh lulz.
Based on responses here and in chat, it looks like Hatchling Havoc has the most support.

Post by: esteban on July 07, 2016, 09:42:56 AM
Hatchling Havoc?
Dear Lord, let's get something more fun than that!
Instead of Frogger, the forum would opt for Amphibian Road.
Thank you.
Good night.

I can certainly agree with Hatchling Havoc as a good sounding title.
Title: Re: Motteke Tamago Title Englishification
Post by: NightWolve on July 07, 2016, 11:20:50 AM
Yeah, I could go with that too. You might as well take some liberties with something more appealing than what the bland literal translation would leave you with (Egg Hunt or Chase). You know, like Shadowlands ???? :mrgreen:

Surprised he didn't put it on hold so he could steal what necro and others were doing with Tamago.

Hmm, that reminds me, someone REALLY needs to upload Gunhed Special, Twin Bee Returns, & Cycho Rider at the very least(Force Gear already being made available). Put a cramp in their style!
