"All Your Base Are Belong To Us"

And what really annoys me, after months of translation we get that.

What's the worse piece of English you've ever seen in game text?

Anyone seen the AYBABTU movie?

Well, it's not in-game exactly, but the best I've seen lately is on the back of the Moto GP box...

Talking about the other riders in the races, it proudly proclaims:

"...they are the shadow on your skidmarks..."


Oh how I chuckled. :-)

I can only assume it's a slightly dodgy translation from the Japanee equivalent.

Here's the gamespy top ten from last year on the subject:
10: NES Pro Wrestling: "A Winner is You!"

9. Metal Gear for NES: "I Feel Asleep!"

8. Bust-a-Groove for Playstation: "Yo gangsta, get ready to gang bang!"

7. Castlevania 2 instruction manual for the NES: "Press A to jump. Press B to crack your whip. TIP:Press A and B at the same time to jump and whip at the same time."

6. Goonies 2 for NES: "Ouch! What do you do?"

5. House of the Dead 2 for Dreamcast: "No! Don't come!"

4. Crazy Taxi for Dreamcast: "You're one hell of a driver!"

3. Final Fantasy VIII for Playstation: "Oh... the soft side of me is coming out..."

2. Metal Gear Solid for the Playstation: "Women have more hiding places than men."

1. Street Fighter III, Second Impact, for the Dreamcast: "Let's Blocking!"

Though some of those aren't bad translations, they just found them funny.

They're a funny lot at gamespy.

And here a few other favourites:

N64 Legend of the Mystical Ninja: "In the fresh spring breeze, la la, I come alive, la la! Yes, I am, you know, I am the one they call SPRING BREEZE DANCIN!!!"

Crono Trigger:

"Am I a butterfly dreaming I'm a man... Or a bowling ball dreaming I'm a plate of sashimi? Never assume that what you see and feel is real!"

Shining Force, Megadrive:

"Up and down, up and down. Pardon me, but my lunch wants to join the sea."


Any more?

I've only seen it, and I thought that it was hilarious, can't wait to hear it with the voice over.

StupidworkPC. Nostupidspeakers.

Don't you get sound with the thing!!

Arghhh! That is what makes it so good!!

Must get sound!

I didn't laugh!! I just started bobbin up and down. all your base,base base base are belong to to us.

*thump*

I have just rescued the .swf file from the computers cache so now I can fiddle around with it and watch it whenever I want.

I liked it in ISS Superstar Soccer on the PSX when you played as, or indeed against, Nigeria. The commentator would be using fairly well crafted sentences, when suddenly he'd say "Nieria" in a Nigerian accent. Oh how I laughed.

Fantasic!!!!!

Just downloaded ZeroWing, so I can play the game that spawned this!

I reckon this could do a HAMSTER DANCE thing!

whaddya reckon? shall I contact Virgin and others to let them listen?
