10 of the Top Engrish Video Game Translations (That Does Not Include Zero Wing)

Ten

UPDATED 10.28.2008

- Removed the FFVII pizza one by popular demand. Yes, I am willing to admit when I am wrong.



One thing you find in video games, especially anything released before the Playstation came out, is a lot of horribly translations. Why is that? Because most video games originate in Japan. Back then, the video game market wasn't this big production that it is now, so often you had the game get a half-assed translation from someone who uses English as their 2nd language. But hey, the games were great anyway!

So, for this edition of "Ten," I have compiled Ten of the best Engrish Video Game Translations That Does Not Include Zero Wing. Zero Wing gets the award for worst translated game and most people can find that everywhere. Its been done to death.

Now, these aren't the top 10, by any means. These are just 10 ones I can think off of the top of my head that stuck out.

10. Super Mario Bros. 3: One Toot

Man, they couldn't of think of any possible better word than toot? Well, I guess "blow" is a thousand times worse....

9. Street Fighter 2: The World's Storongest

I'm sorry, but there shouldn't be any excuse for this kind of a typo...

Sagat - World's Storongest

8. Mega Man 6: Faild

Now why hasn't all of these fail macros and what not haven't used "FAILD"
yet?

Mega Man - Faild

7. Zelda II: The Adventures of Link

And here is a huge WTF moment from the only subpar Zelda game.

I Am Error

6. Metroid - Your Mission

It is very sad when the translation needs a translation...

5. Castlevania II: Simon's Quest

I remember this one vividly. I mean really, when is it a good night to have a curse? "I'm sorry, tonight's not great. I have dinner with the inlaws, so I am kind of already cursed. However, my Tuesday is wide free. How about hexing me then?"

Castlevania II - Horrible Night For a Curse

4. Metal Gear (MSX) - Big Boss Mision

Thanks Big Boss for the Mision! What would ever do?!

Metal Gear Mision

3. Legend of Zelda - The Secret to Everybody

I still am not sure what this means and I am not sure that I ever will...

Zelda - Secret to Everybody

2. Shining Force 2 - The Compassionate One

I almost always spit out my drink whenever I ran into this doozy...SUCH COMPASSION!

Shining Force - He's Old Anyway

1. Final Fantasy 2 for SNES (FFIV)

This one is just infamous... it was supposed to be a substitute for "Bastard." However, instead of using the word "jerk" or even "Mean Guy," we get the Spoony Bard! BOO YEAH!

Spoony Bard

Actually...that is from Zero Wing, which if you read the title, you know that I didn't include Zero Wing because its obviously the king of butchered translations.

I always felt a tinge of hate for the minister

None of that is really

None of that is really "engrish." It's mostly spelling errors and typos. You faild.
