Post some of the poorest Japanese translations (or Engrish) you have heard in a video game (not Zero Wing please...) . One of mine has to be from a lovely PC Engine game by the name of Download. They seem to curse a fair amount when you die. I've only received a few of the death messages, one being "S***, IS NOT THIS A GREAT BEGINNING." Another one involved f***, but I do not remember it at this time. I'll post it at a later time.

Snake: "The truck have started to move!"
Makes me wonder how much Nintendo's "Seal of Quality" is really worth.

As I understood it the "Seal of Quality" referred to the quality of the cartridge and not the content.

My favorite has to be "Body Stiffen" from WonderBoy.
Final Fantasy Tactics, while it was a totally awesome game, was filled with spelling and grammar errors. I don't know what happened with the translation on that game.
Dragon Ball Z Ultimate Battle 22.
They didnt even bother to translate, hence, completely removed Story Mode.

Other than that, Samurai Showdown 4 is one of my favorite games. Ukyo is the shit.
Nah, Haohmaru all the way. But man are those quotes funny. Specially since I remember them.
I can't remember what game it was because it really old but I thought this was funny: All your bases are belong to me.
