but coleco is pronounced coal co

>>5225740
nice bait but it's pronounced ジャレコ

>>5225745
Ha, never heard that one. 10/10

>>5225740
various sega games are better on its direct competitor, the pc engine, than the megadrive, despite it being a weaker console

>Bonanza Bros
>Gain Ground
>After burner II (not counting 32x)
>Thunder Blade
>Wonder Boy III Monster Lair

Shinobi and Fantasy Zone outclass the master system versions. Outrun is a 50/50 (some prefer one port over the other)

The Sega Master System and PC Engine never actually existed, they were created by Nintendo years later to give the illusion that the NES had competition.

>>5225764
Wrong.
The first one I checked to see if this was true for, Wonder Boy III, clearly looks better on the Genesis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qun7MB5sAJE with much more detailed sprites. I'm assuming you're probably wrong about the others too since I just proved you're a retard, but I'm too lazy to check.

>>5225740
No one is sure what "Nintendo" means for sure. The great grandson of the owner thinks it means "leave luck to heaven", but no one can say with absolute certainty.

>>5225764

Yup. Shinobi on PC Engine is almost just like the arcade, something SEGA bragged about doing, but failed to do there. Truxton on PCE is also better than the SEGA Genesis version in terms of graphics and sound.

Fact: The Turbo Grafx 16/ PC Engine had an 8-bit CPU, but it also had a 16-bit graphics chip, so it was fully 16-bit, even though magazines are the time said it wasn't.

>>5225740
uhh i had this shitty bombing islands game on ps1 and the jaleco logo had a jingle that said it like ja-le-co

>>5225803
wait no it was tetris plus which was awesome. i was thinking of kemko or whatever

point still stands though

>>5225803
I've heard more jingles from earlier that pronounced it as "jail-co", though. Arcade and home. It's quick, but it's definitely not "jah-lee-co." James Rolfe [Mike Matei] is wrong again.

>>5225780
>I'm assuming you're probably wrong about the others too since I just proved you're a retard, but I'm too lazy to check.

if you even did your research, wonder boy 3 has 14 levels on pc engine, along with more accurate sprites and superior audio, while genesis only has 9

nice just to lash out at people to defend your sega system, isn't it?

>>5225740
Atari was the first of the major video game companies (not sure of the more obscure ones) to have true 3D games, pushing polygons on the Atari Lynx years before SEGA and Nintendo did. Steel Talons on the Atari Lynx was around five years before the N64. Oh, and the Lynx destroyed the Genesis version, which can no such ability.

It's more like jal-ick-o, pic related told me so
Definitely not """jail-co"""" that's retarded

>>5225827
>Definitely not """jail-co"""" that's retarded
To be fair, I've heard them pronounce it that way too, so it's both. It depends on how fast their name is said.

Never heard of them until just now.

I always thought it rhymed with calico, like calico cat. Calico, Jaleco.

I clearly hear "jail-co" said really fast; I have to make my ears hear "jeh-la-co" like you guys. And I've played games that clearly say it the way I'm hearing it 100%.

>>5225983
You stupid fuck. They're clearly saying 3 syllables - JAL-E-CO, which stands for JApan LEsuire COmpany, you microbrain.

>>5226069
So what? COLECO stands for something too and it's pronounced in a similar fashion. Idiot. It clearly says "jail-co". You have to use aural imagination to hear it your way.

>>5225983
"/vr/ - helping the mentally retarded to OPEN THEIR FUCKING EARS"

>>5226079
It's "jail-co" on so many older games, though. Looking for an example on my modded Wii, but I can never remember which games they own.

>>5226087
You are experiencing a false memory phenomenon and multiple posters already disproved your statement.

>>5226093
Dude, no, this is not /x/. And I've posted a link where the pronunciation is clearly "jail-co". Heh, and we think we'll last as a society, we can't even agree on empirical facts.

I donn't know japanese , but i know that japanese is closer to portuguese (my language), phonetically, than it is to english, and therefore that JA-LE-CO is three syllables, and not two, sorry OP

>>5226107
Nice try, same guy. Japanese and Portuguese are nothing like and have nothing to do with this. Nice try. 8/10

>>5226103
The official logo videos say otherwise. You are starting to piss me off, asshole.

>>5226073
What? Do you actually claim COLECO is pronounced "COAL-CO"??? Fuck off with that shit. You're a fucking retard.

>>5226114
Go fuck yourself, cunt. :) So some idiot says it wrong on a new video, yet you ignore the older ones. kys

>>5226121
No! It's pronounced "Co-lee-co" (Connecticut Leather Company). Just as I thought, I'm arguing with literal mongoloids who don't even know how to read.

>>5225874
yeah this was the one in tetris plus. it's clearly ja-le-co

>>5226131
Nope. Another fact: Nintendo ripped off Universal Pictures and got away with it.

>>5226129
if that's true, shouldn't it be pronounced co-leh-co?

>>5225748
Tranlated for non-moon speaking retards: Jaleeko

>>5226147
Heh. It's all arbitrary, so they could have said it that way, but didn't. No one says "Co-leh-co". No one. On the other hand, the only person who has ever said "jah-lee-co" is the very wrong and very fraudulent James Rolfe, king of video game errors and half-truths.

>>5226151
Acronyms aren't pronounced that way. Jaleco cannot be "Jaleeko". There can be no long a sound from that.

>>5226112
theyre pretty alike though, faggot. go look it up. why do you think japanese people like bossa nova so much

>>5226126
Case closed, troll kiddie

>>5226140
more info on this please? (im obsessed with intellectual property drama)

>>5226160
you and women are alike because you both like cock so much, but that doesn't make you a woman.

Fucking JA, fucking RE, fucking CO.

Nintendo clearly stole the idea of King King for Donkey Kong. Universal sued Nintendo and lost. Just place Mario under pic related and it's totes not King Kong.

>>5226168
Wikipedia IS. NOT. A. SOURCE. 20% wrong, people. 20% is a lot.

>>5226158
>>5226158
Crap, you're right, It's not using the RI sound.

>>5226171
King Kong* I am not sure how that judge saw it that way...I mean, they didn't even bother with a different name.

>>5226174
You are a troll and not a very good one

>>5226176
Good on you. May you win at a scratch ticket or otherwise have great karma.

>>5226180
No you're incorrect; and Wiki admits that themselves, anon.

>>5226165
The bossa-nova thing, I was researching a Japanese bossa-nova band and came across the tidbit. It turns out that the way Brazilians pronounce their words is very similar to the way the Japanese pronounce theirs, which may account for the unlikely popularity of the genre over there.

You know Isvaffel? The eccentric Finnish Youtube gamer. He once played Castelo Rá-tim-bum, a Brazilian Master System game. Curiously, in the intro, he pronounced the game's title flawlessly, prompting an impressed reply from a Portuguese commenter.

It seems, then, that most languages, even languages with wildly different origins, seem to be pretty rational and intuitive when it comes to pronunciation.

But as an old college teacher of mine said, when it comes to English, a word reads "Jerusalem" but you pronounce it "Constantinople". English pronunciation makes no sense. It's all over the place.

Even Nabokov, one of the greatest English prose stylists of all time, would get the pronunciation of some words wrong, as attested by John Updike, who attended one of Nabokov's readings.

>>5226171
I see, thanks. It's ironic then that Nintendo is so puritanical about people "stealing" their own precious IPs, isn't it.

>>5226204
Oh yeah. I try to remember when I download one of their precious ROMs, that I already paid for, or it's something obscure that they'll never sell for autistic reasons.

>>5226140
what do you mean "nope"? do you have ears?

>>5225740
"Ocarina" is pronounced with an OH, not AH. Fuckbois don't really get that.

>>5226226
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul0x5uzcI6o

You may be right anyway, many youtubers don't know what they're talking about, so I'm torn. I say "Ah-ca-ree-nah" 'cause it's easier and sounds less gay.

>>5226232
It's pronounced "Oh-cah-ree-nah", of course. Are you guys schizophrenic?

>>5226250
Merriam-Webster disagrees with you.

>>5226254
Ok. I was being flippant.

But hey, https://www.dictionary.com/browse/ocarina

>>5226112
The Portuguese had early colonial contract with Japan and Japanese has many Portuguese loan words.

>>5226250
I said it that way for years. It sounds better. Ahkareena sounds like a deaf person talking

>>5226196
I think it's more related to Brazil having the biggest japanese colony outside of Japan, to the point where it has an effect on their rice imports. The true mystery is why japanese love/d tango and salsa music so much

>>5225740
wut

>>5227742
>Japanese has many Portuguese loan words
Same for English and German
English is very prevalent in engineering while German dominates medical fields.

>>5225740
Mega Mario Brothers II was actually based on a Japanese game called Donkey Dicky Picnic

The thing is that japanese and portuguese, although having nothing to do with with other, practically pronounce the syllabes the exact same way (with some exeptions).
So, following the logic, it's pronounced JAH-LEH-COH, although the japanese would say "JAH-RE-KOH".
Funny thing about the Finnish language, is that it's almost completely similar to portuguese (brazilian portuguese, not european portuguese).

Why does this board respond to such stupid fucking lazy ass shit bait threads
