Shmup Engrish help

Metal Gear Okt · Post by **Metal Gear Okt** » Thu Jun 02, 2005 6:38 pm

I need some good shmup-related engrish to use as a title in another forum.

"there is a huge battlship approaching fast" and "shoot the core" are the only two i could come up with. I'm sure you guys could do better.

"Warning! It is dangerous for you to come..."

Here's a few:

"I always wanted a thing called tuna sashimi" (Darius II)
"No Refuge" and "Be attitude for gains" (Radiant Silvergun)
"Warning! The big enemy is approaching at full throttle. According to the data, it is identified as "Butsutekkai" (Ikaruga)
"There is no refuge. Unable to avoid firing." (Ikaruga)
"You cannot stop me with paramecium alone" (Forgotten Worlds)

I love that quote!

I also love the Cave warning screens. How you prosecute someone to the full extent of the jam is beyond me.

I believe they are using the English term "jam" to signify "being in trouble". Apparently, they were unaware of the actual term "fullest extent of the law". Not to mention the spelling errors.

The quote in my sig from Space Bomber is pure classic. It's not really in broken english, but something like this in any game is so funny. There is another thread about shmup Engrish at http://forum.shmups.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2586

A winner is you is not from a shmup, it's from a wrestling game on NES, if I am not mistaken.

Post by **BulletMagnet** » Fri Jun 03, 2005 4:38 am

"I'm Not Regret" (Ikaruga)

Inspired an earlier sig of mine.

Yeah, someone posted that comment as a joke in reply to a topic asking what happens if you loop a certain shmup a certain number of times (or something like that). I was tricked by that comment too. I actually thought it was from the game.

Yet to see the inevitable Zero Wing post... lol.

"Thank you for the playing." (Early Taito games.)
"TOASTEROVERHEATED" (Parodius, SNES.)
"I never thought I would be frying over a jungle." (Aero Fighters 2)
"Fry to Paris and save the city from destruction." (Aero Fighters 2)
"Fry to the rainforest and save the nature." (Aero Fighters 2)

Those are just a few that spring to mind.

I'll throw it in because it has to be said.

"All your base are belong to us."

"You have no chance to survive make your time."

Both, of course, from Zero Wing. There are a couple other lines in there worth quoting, but I find those to be the funniest.

"Fry to the rainforest and save the nature." (Aero Fighters 2) "

I was TOTALLY going to post this.

I think that's Hien. He opens with something like "I am a ninja, my life is lonely and difficult."

You know you're in for a ride when your pilot goes emo on you right from the start.

Not nearly as funny as all of these, but beating I think it was 1942 on the NES gives you "CONGRATULATION" in white on a black background and then you start over. I was pretty pissed that they couldn't even sketch a P38 lightning flying away from the uberbomber or whatever. Plus, it wasn't even plural.

Aerofighters 2 has a bunch of quality messages, including crap about not underestimating the strength of dolphins. It's a bit of a trip.

Capt. Takehiko · Post by **Capt. Takehiko** » Sat Jun 04, 2005 11:00 am

I'll say... that's why I didn't list them all. They are so many Engrish/stupid lines in that game. But its one of the reasons I still enjoy playing it and the entire series.

This topic just made me think that this site needs a little sound bite that has the girl from Dodonpachi saying, "OK, your mission starts now. Are you ready?" when the main page loads.

WARNING. NO REFUGE.

ENCOUNTERED AN ASSAILANT

XIGA
BE ATTITUDE FOR GAINS
1. BE PRAYING
2. BE PRAYING
3. BE PRAYING

The way the bosses are announced in Radiant Silvergun is fantastic. Xiga stands out the most, for me, but there's some other great lines before you get that far.

I use a variation on the above as the motd on my computer.

Twinkle Star Sprites on DC is just one big bowl of awesome Engrish.

Also try out Aaroninjapan.com. Its mostly a DDR site by this guy who teaches english in japan, and he has a huge list of all the funny stuff his students have said. i.e. "It's sunny o'clock"

And this is completely off topic, but check this out! Its from the world beard and mustache championships.
