| What's the weirdest/funniest translation mistake (or bunch of mistakes) you've seen in a video game? One of the ones I found odd was "Get you the hot bullets of Shotgun to die!" from Battle Rangers... (edited by Mutation on 10-27-04 04:08 AM) (edited by Mutation on 10-28-04 03:07 AM) |

Some other mistranslations I've found that made me go "  ":- In the arcade version of Sega Strike Fighter: "The weapon of Invader" (This one was hard for me to spot because it scrolls by really fast.) - In the arcade version of Silent Scope, if you put in some coins but not enough, the message "Insert more coins(s)" will appear. (I've been wondering if maybe they were originally planning to put a number in the parentheses where that last "s" is...)- In Sports Shooting USA, during the demo tutorial: "Lose 5points, when shoot penalty target !" |

| One that a lot of people miss: In the bar scene of FFIIUS, someone introduces Tellah to Yang by stating that Tellah is Edward's father. If you've played the game, you know why this is hilarious (And I'm honestly surprised NoA never caught this). But my favorite for ratio of words-to-errors has to be the second ending of Ghosts N' Goblins for the NES: CONGRATURATION THIS STORY IS HAPPY END THANK YOU BEING THE WISE AND COURAGEOUR KNIGHT THAT YOU ARE YOU FEEL STRONGTH WELLING IN YOUR BODY RETURN TO STARTING POINT CHALLENGE AGAIN! Exactly as it appears in the game (Yes, including "courageour" and the double space between "are" and "you".) (edited by Emptyeye on 10-27-04 11:27 AM) |

| Of course it's unbeatable, it's not a game. Zero Wing, on the other hand, is - and there's arcade (MAME) and Genesis versions. It's a decent shooter. Nothing great but maybe worth a try. |

| But Zero wing is quite a easy shooter, I got so bored on it after awhile since it was endlessy shooting. Maybe I should try to finish it but... oh well. ...does anyone remember that "I like balls" quote from Pok |

| Heh, I've actually got some quotes in there. Check out Nightshade, Ys Book I & II, Ys (Sega), and Neutopia. Some are funnier than others. | |||

| "I am Error" A character from the second town in Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link. And most of the rest of the dialouge from that game .. "Get hammer smash strong walls" |

...There were space limitations in Zelda II. Put it that way.  I think there was an actual explanation for the "I AM ERROR" line... |

| Yeah, "I am Error" isn't so much a mistranslation as a REALLY poor choice of name for the character. Elsewhere in the game, someone tells you to "Seek Error in Ruto village" or something along those lines. "YOU NOW PROSSESS DRACULA'S (Body part)" from Castlevania II is another good one. |

| I believe in Harvest Moon 64, when you pet an animal it says, "Hello (animal name) How you are doing today?". It's pretty fun to just do that over and over to read that line. |

| The crappiest translation I ever read, was from the German version in FF VII. Even in some cases English parts were left in the message boxes, also like too straight translations of stuff like equipment. Some things, translated to German directly, simply are very weird. When you even have the English structure in some German sentences or the story lost the atmosphere in some places, that sucks |
