You know how a heap of japanese games are always horrible translated into english [`All your base are belong to us!!`].
Well in japan, everyone uses the english word fight to say `try your hardest` or `give it a shot` kind of thing. like, for example ill be complaining i have test tomorrow and my friend will just say `fight!`. so basically its one of those words thats been intergrated completely into jap language to mean something completely different for bashing a guy in the face.

well this got me thinking, on all those old fighting games like mortal kombat and such where the commentator guy yelss out, `Round One, FIGHT!`
maybe what they really meant to say was `Round One, DO YOUR BEST!!
Now im really curoius to find out which its meant to be. o well.
anyway, list some cool mis translations from jap games that you know:

Some more good ones i can think of at the moment are:
`Its getting too tight in here! Everyone Spread out!`
`Unidentified? Who Are They?!` - Both Front Mission3

...mind block.... ill post more when i can think of some...

Mortal kombat is an American game, not Japanese.


Perfect Dark had to changed for Japan because the translation meant something way off.

Harvest Moon is known for its bad tranlastions. Especially Friends of Mineral Town. "Apple. This can be cooked or ate." There is also text in German. Wierd.

I think it's from Zero Wing. In Eretzvaju, they make a ton of errors too. The characters mouths keep moving after the voices stop. It's pretty comical.
