does anyone else find the poorly-translated and pronounced English in old Japanese games entertaining? post your favorite examples.

Just about every Neo Geo game. Does Ryo calling people "dweebenheimer" count as a mistranslation or was SNK trying to be hip?

All that Engrish contributes to its wacky charm.

iirc the Zelda intro text was really engrishy but it's been fixed in all subsequent releases.
SNK did it on purpose

Skynet feels the need to rationalize its actions
Takenobu Mitsuyoshi's vocals are always gold, a lesser known work of his is his contribution to a Street Fighter tribute album
It's quite something, I recommend it to everyone

yeah TakeMits is fucking awesome
Many of those accusations of engrish are unfair and stretching
>Ohkay
Is this even serious?
Let's not forget hardware limitations.
>>3577104
>hardware limitation
no hardware limitation is causing THE FULL EXTENT OF THE JAM or causing Terry's VO to say POWAH GEEZAH instead of power geyser
>>3573320
>ITT: SNK
>>3577114
SNK just has the most and funniest examples
>>3577104
Do you not realize that the word "Engrish" is a mispronunciation? The literal meaning of it is just mispronouncing English words like "okay" which can be as simple as "OOhkeiYA"
>>3576943
It knows that the Russian counter-rationalisation will eliminate its enemies over here.

For a while I've thought about adding lyrics and vox to classic game tunes. The battleship level from UN Squadron (Area 88) is one I've always reckoned would work well.
>>3577178
Springyard Zone too. It already sounds like a lost Bobby Brown backing track (in a good way).

>AYB is so old and worn out now that it's been forgotten long enough to be fresh again

AYB needs to pass through Kuvalauta's intestines to become relevant again, like pedobear

Nothing can limit the jam

And the KoF2003 special intro https://youtu.be/cLF2krLRIgU (1:23 mark)
"You're doochin' a new partnah? Aren't you za wacky wun? I'll sho yu"
this is unintentionally turning into the "SNK had a junior high English student translating their games in the 90's" thread
>>3577464
It took me many years before I realized her scream when defeated was "I SHALL RETURN" instead of "Master retaaard".
I would mention King Leo (Shin Shishioh), but I just remembered he actually has an american VA. It's just that his lines are corny as hell. The weird thing is that his "shadow" (King Lion, weaker version) actually speaks in japanese.

Shin Shishioh is awesome.
I love EARTH CHOPPER in Neo Geo Battle Coliseum.
What's with Japan's obsession with the word "buster"?
Crude Buster
Air Buster
Little Busters
Buster Wolf
Gunbuster
Is it what Japanese consider beginner English, like "apple", "dog", "buster"?
>>3579429
It sounds cool.
>>3579429
Are you ok?BUSTER WOLF!
>>3577551
And there's a line from Monkey Island
>>3579446
I like how it makes no sense at all:
1) Why ask "are you ok" BEFORE the attack?
2) What the fuck is "buster wolf" anyway? I get the "wolf" part (because of "Garou Densetsu"), but it's about as Engrish as it gets.
>>3579497
"Are you ok" is probably supposed to be like "get ready" or "here it comes"
>>3573398
Most likely SNK trying to be hip. Remember how Kim wanted people to do the Tae Kwan Do Thang?
Pic unrelated, although
>King will never call you a Weenie Meister
>>3579558
Hmm. Not bad. One more time on the house. N O T !
>>3579567
Speaking of Weenies...
>>3579570
I feel like the translators' idea of 'cool' was something like "neo-maxi-zoom-dweebie". Funny, but it kinda works with SNK's cheesy '80s movie aesthetic
>>3579576
Now that I think about it, it does work if you look at it that way.
>BADUH DEEDLE DAY!!

He does say "Here comes a big one!" instead of "Are you okay?" in XIV, so maybe.
>>3574050
how is this not proper english?
you mean it sounds like he's gonna defecate on everyone?
(non-english anon)
>>3581525
It's a cool thing to shout in restrooms
>>3581530
>how is this not proper english?
You don't need a time machine to travel the world and fight... nowhere in that sentence does it mention going to different time periods.
Not sure if it's Engrish, but this is perhaps the worst name of the game ever
The file name is a fucking joke, "download japan"
>>3581539
Do you even know what World Heroes' roster is like?

i find Terry's new voice to be cringy imo. I get the fact that they wanted to use new VA but it's just doesn't click with me yet.
>>3581720
That's not Engrish, that's cheeki breenglish
