Worst video game mispronunciations/bungles you've ever heard

[MotherGunner]

I'm still trying to figure this out:

Vegas Tactical Gladiator?  Vah-goose Tactical Gladiator?  Vay-goose?  WTF, over...

I always pronounced it Veeegs *shrugs*

[toymachine78]

I always said "seega" for SEGA. its the preferred, if incorrect, pronunciation in the non NA anglophile world.

Do the games not boot up with the "Say-ga" sound bite in the non NA anglophile world?

Definitely do but all the adverts and tv shows said it the different way. Changed in UK around when mega drive came out. I think Australians still have this though AFAIK.

  So is it Meega Drive too?

I always thought it was pronounced like "vague"

[glazball]

My cousin used to have the Deluxe NES set and my country aunt would call it the "Intendo" which came with the "ro-butt"

[majors]

When my buddy worked a mom'n pop game store back in the PS1 days, he heard "Tri-all-oh-gee" for Trilogy all the time.

Mortal Kombat, Alien, Die Hard...if it was not Tri-allology, it was Trigonometry.

I say "Vaygs" Tactical Gladiator.

I say "Graddeeus" rhymes with "glad" trash bags.

I say "Gweelee" for Guile. Or sometimes I just stick with Guyul.

I say "Turbo Graphics" but I spell it as TurboGrafx.

I say "Say guh"

Correct me.

Chocobo = KOKOBO

Haha!  Yes!  My uncle used to drive me nuts because he would say, "coo-cuh-boo!"

This one guy I knew would also pronounce "Seifer" as "Say-faa," because he assumed the Japanese was セイファー and that they just romanized it directly from that, which was actually not an unreasonable assumption.  However, when I explained to him that it was サイファー (like "cipher"), he was all like, "No way man!  There's no way that's right!"  (@_@; )

"Mare-ee-oh" is literally the worst, if only because I hear it SO much.

Sega pronounced "Say Grrr"
SNES pronounced SNEZ (ryhmes with Pez)

The Saygrrr one I've heard from British people, but it's just the accent.   They say "eye dee urrr" when saying idea, and stuff.   Dunno why, but it's funny.


The worst to me is Magic of Scheherazade.   

"Magic of Sheehah ruh zaydee"

what.

Oh and Faxanadu.

"Facks za naydu"

This is something I've payed a lot of attention to, the whole "idear" thing.  It seems the "R" is used if the word ends with a vowel, and the word that follows begins with one.  Can anyone give credence to this theory?
