Best Japanese-to-English Mistranslations? (aka ENGRISH)
« on: July 30, 2015, 04:13:01 AM »
The recent upload on Cinemassacre inspired me to do this thread. Basically, post any unintentional funny sentences inside japanese games (or localizations) made in broken english.

The game that inspired the thread:
Bakutoshi Patton-Kun (FDS 1988): "flip the f*cking diskette already"



Download (PCE 1990): "Future 2099. Technology is kings. One man can not f*ck this up."



The Screamer (NEC PC88 1984): The woman character was named "Nazi". Bonknuts' avatar is from this game.



Zero Wing (Genesissy 1991): AHAHAHA ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US AHHAHAHAHA shut up about it already

Everytime you defeat a boss and complete a stage in Psychic Storm it says....

One that has always made me smile since the 90s is from Samurai Showdown II (Neo Geo)



Still a better translation from Japanese that I could manage :wink:

Ys III for Genesis has you using the healing harb.

Darius II arcade ending where they return to the Pranet of Darius. The other ending which begins with "What a matter!'

I always liked the ending to Ghosts and Goblins.




Congratulation indeed, Capcom.
