No, the name is right, they just used nihon shiki romanization.

[Anonymous No.539106]

>>539102

Then why did they use "Natsume" in game and on their merchandise in literally every other game they did?

[Anonymous No.539135]

>>539106

Maybe they fucked up the romanization, choosing nihon shiki, but its not wrong and it isnt engrish. Natume/Natsume is the same, just different romanization systems.

I'm glad somebody gets it. Actually most Japanese people I know type "si" and "tu" on an English keyboard when it's set to Japanese language setting to type "shi" and "tsu" respectively.

I... I love this game.

I didn't make it and a good portion is engrish.

>Dodongo dislikes smoke.

...What's wrong about this?

[Anonymous No.540951]

>>540938

It's just bad translation. Dodongos don't like bombs, there's no "smoke" in the game.

[Anonymous No.540968]

>>540848
Yeah, Ted Woolsey is like the exact opposite of engrish. He took liberties with the translation, and tried to make it sound natural in English.

"Engrish" is the result of Japanese people with a weak grasp of English, doing a literal, machine-like translation.

Japanese: 仕方がない
Good translation: "So much for Plan A."
Bad translation: "It can't be helped."
Typical translation hack: "It can't be shikata (helped)."

[Anonymous No.540970]

>>540951
A bomb exploding leaves a smoke cloud. If a Dodongo touches a smoke cloud it will freeze. You can attack its head with your sword and it will leave bombs behind. It doesn't have to eat the bombs at all.

The game was giving you a hint that killing them this way is better.

[Anonymous No.540972]

>>540951
Depends on how you look at it.
As cryptic hints go, it's fairly clear without being obvious, making one think that was intended. Don't think anyone went "smoke, what smoke... I only have bombs!".

No it's not.
The Japanese game says the exact same thing.
But of course you wouldn't know that because you don't kno Japanese. And yet you think you can judge the translation.

True enough, I was just trying to make excuses for the picture, I guess. Plus I don't remember the bombs being that way as I haven't played the game since I was about eight! It's odd they chose that as their "Engrish" example when there are a lot stranger messages in the game.

No, they dislike it.

If they hated smoke it'd say ドドンゴハケムリヲダイキラウ

Ghosts 'n Goblins end screen has to be the best, not only because it's hilarious, but because it's a real kick in the balls considering how difficult it was to get there.

"You fight like a cow" is just intentionally silly and absurd humor. Engrish is more for shitty translations in to English, or bad English from people who don't speak it as their first language.

[Anonymous No.541343]

>>541128
I suggest you actually play Monkey Island to get it.

Intentionally silly and absurd humor written by none other than Orson Scott Card.

>Gilbert soon realised that it would be difficult to design the game by himself; he decided to join forces with Tim Schafer and Dave Grossman, both of whom he hired for Lucasfilm.

>The game's insult swordfighting mechanics were influenced by swashbuckling movies starring Errol Flynn, which Gilbert, Schafer and Grossman often watched for inspiration.
>They noticed that pirates in those films often taunted their opponents instead of attacking them, which gave the designers the idea to base the game's duels on insults rather than combat.

>Writer Orson Scott Card helped them write the insults during a visit to Lucasfilms' headquarters at Skywalker Ranch.
