It would be cool to work at a hotel, just so I could tell every new guest to TAKE A KEY FOR COMING IN!

I played way too much of that game in Elementary school - seriously - like everyday for a few months.. Isn't there something before that quote? Like "Ninja Skills... will help you!"

There's an arcade version, so you are aok.

Personal favourite:

Minotaur from Mutant Fighter/Death Brade: 'Feel the authority of my horn!' It is delivered with powerful conviction.

Still not sure what they meant by that.

Wot? That's Bloody Wolf, which is a PC Engine game. That's not what he says in the PCE version, so I guess that's the arcade one..?

Just play Cadash arcade, every screen is full of awesome engrish. I wonder why I haven't tried it earlier.

Talking about cadash, anyone knows if I should play the arcade version or console ports? Is the arcade even possible to 1CC?

It doesn't sound anything like that though.

SNK used to be a source of awesome engrish.

louisg · Post by **louisg** » Tue Jan 18, 2011 11:28 pm

This is probably more translators having fun, but in Great Greed, there's a part where the hero finds out everyone has been slaughtered. She then proclaims, "How lame!"

It is very doable. Saw a ninja playthrough on youtube - all he used was skill (the ninja is probably the best character though). Haven't played the console versions nearly as much to note the differences (other than far less hilarious translation - damn you Working Designs - and no Priest or Ninja on the MD version).

Ah, Vitto Corleone still alive and kickin' in the '50s. Now, that video is a vivid example of "fucking awesome". Why Japan can't have more mobsters in cool suits and hats carrying tommy guns?
