Worst moments in videogame translating

[Gnashvar]

The Harvest Moon games are well known for bad translations. You say yes when you want to say no and say no when saying yes. It's a mess

Harvest Moon takes place on Moonside?

Seems like it

No, it does.

Monster Rancher Battle Card for GBC had some pretty bad/inconsistent translations. I played it a good amount when I was a kid, and there were quite a few lines I had to read again because I wasn't sure what the characters were talking about... O_o; There was also a lot of bad grammar mistakes in the text, and with me being somewhat of a grammar Nazi even as a kid, it was annoying to read through.

Mega Man X6 was FULL of these:
"ZELLLLO!"
"DIE XXX! JUSDIE X!"

For those particular translations, Sigma was fucked up and the text was supposed to reflect that. Funny still.

I have located some plastic explosive.

True; though I think the "Zello" one was a translation issue.

Oh and my favorite from him: THE BADDLE HAZ JUSD BEGUN!

Perhaps, but that would mean the Capcom's translation team didn't recognize a main character's name when they saw it, and that level of incompetence scares me.

Well you also gotta remember that game was extremely rushed and there were glitches as well as grammar and spelling errors everywhere. The save screen's "Overwright Save" option was proof enough of that. The game seemed haphazardly made in general so that error really doesn't surprise me. Now if an English voice actor has shouted it; THEN I would be REALLY scared.
