What's the worse piece of English you've ever seen in game text?
Anyone seen the AYBABTU movie?
*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.
Arghhh! That is what makes it so good!!
Must get sound!
StupidworkPC. Nostupidspeakers.
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?
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.
