10 Interesting Ways Games Have Been Translated

[@gryphonofmight]

Herlock Sholmes didnt originate in Ace Attorney. Maurice Leblanc created the character for his Lupin series of stories

[@pkthunder416]

Co-signing, this is 100% true. Sir Arthur was a little baby about Sherlock appearing in stories where he could be outsmarted by Lupin and there are rumors he threatened to sue, so LeBlanc made the spoonerism'd name to poke at his weird ego.

@@pkthunder416 Of course we are talking about the famous Sit Arthur Donan Coyle here, he was so happy that his Herlock Sholmes finally got some spotlight and approved the use of him in Ace Attorney :D

[@jaffajack101]

You just knew what one of the things on the list would be if you've watched Scott Pilgrim VS The World haha

[@AlmondXIII]

You know Pac-Man? I know of him.

[@RetroRobyn69]

Yay! Thanks for featuring Vivian 🥰

[@SvenElven]

Kind of mindblowing to learn that rhyming is not a thing in every language!

[@JetLagRecords]

TripleJump, nice content keep up the amazing work

[@SamButler22]

Did you just watch Scott Pilgrim and say "fuck it, that's 2 minutes of a video already written, let's go"?

[@RetroKiwiDad]

my exact thought lol.

[@Martynde]

Jriple Tump is a totally new channel not connected to any other channel.

[@Justforvisit]

Yeah, not to be confused with Jiple Trump

[@erakfishfishfish]

And then there’s the classic rotation of names of M Bison, Balrog, and Vega, since Blarog (né M Bison) was modelled on Mike Tyson without his permission.

[@eddiehimself]

The thing about Japanese is that words have different meanings depending on whether the syllables are geminated (pronounced for longer.) For example, the word biru (with a short i) means "Building" but the word biiru (with a long i) means beer lol.

[@CinemaStormz]

Awesome, keep up the good work 👍

[@Martynde]

I like to imagine that in the Ace Attorney universe, Herlock Sholmes is the real life person that the fictional Sherlock Holmes books are based upon.

[@RoughThief]

So Squall used to be be less of a dismissive prick? I only have one thing to say to that: Whatever.

[@bobkerolls13]

Worried they would make Puck Man more colourful...so...Puce Man?

[@Justforvisit]

Nah, of course they meant Pluck Man

[@bobkerolls13]

@@Justforvisit but I thought they were worried about it being more colourful? I suppose Puce Man is better than Mauve Man but that would take some serious vandalism

[@Schwartzzz]

What the fuck does this title / video concept even mean ?

[@CapnLubeHandles]

Uhhh it's pretty clear dude

[@Wickedous]

Vivian isnt trans, vivian was basically a geisha. Not trans.

[@wtfchuck9552]

This kinda reminds me of the bad unfunny english dub translation for DragonBall S1

[@Kekskuchen666]

Always glad when people highlight the huge efforts made by translators, especially in gaming where I feel people are quick to judge without understanding how and why translations work the way they do. Only wish y'all had included a few more concrete examples to illustrate the explanations given.

[@Wickedous]

No, they change shit for the sake of pushing agendas. They can translate the game how it is originally. They just don't because everyone's a god damned activist these days.

and body shaming never once came up again in any other game ever.
