I quite like the ending screen from Sengoku.

"I'M PRAYING FOR A HEALTHY BATTLE."

Quote from World Heroes on the Neo Geo. I'm not sure what a healthy battle is, but I think they mean a competitive fight although most people generally do not pray for them. Very odd indeed

That's not a translation issue, pikmaniac. Basically, Error is introducing himself. Error is the name of a character in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.

I posted it before but I think the question has come up... the intro to Taito Violence Fight is a classic:

Let us struggle to be 'No.1 Quarreler!'

A subject for debatte. It is said that it´s actually a japaneese misspelling of the name "Errol".

My own favourite: There were about 5 Nintendogames translated to Swedish. The best translation misstake must have been the one in Gameboy RPG "Sword of Hope". The word chest was translated to "bröst". Breast.

It's not said by anyone who actually know Japanese, so no, it's not a subject for debate.

Hahah. Where was that? I remember the game also translated "Treant" as "Trädmyra" (literally "Tree Ant")

Why is Link's and Error's skin magenta?
Anyway, anyone else agree with Magician Lord's bad voice acting choice for this thread?

For the same reason that Link doesn't have a mouth.

Also I knew when I opened this thread someone would immediately say "I AM ERROR."
Here's the scoop on ERROR and BAGU:
'It is likely that the name Bagu is a joke from the developers, since he is close friends and quest-related to the character Error. "Bagu" would be the counterpart of the Japanese way of writing the word "bug". As such, "bug" and "error" refer to a computer's malfunctioning.'
