Star Fox 64 (JP version): All Medals in Normal mode

[@shanuthejackal4817]

26:04 The line from Something About SF64

[@HardDiskDog]

The English dub is good because it's cheesy and light-hearted in a charming way. Here they actually sound like they're in a life or death situation in the middle of an intense intergalactic war! You can even hear the fear and desperation in the voices of the bosses before they die! It's awesome but kind of scary.

[@diafragmacerotres5226]

EXACTLYYYYYY THE SAMEEEE THING !!! I AGREE WITH YOU

[@tetsuyahayami7519]

Very true! Which is extremely rare for video game characters to sound so realistic like that!

[@myusernameisajoke1423]

Why didn’t we get this in America?

[@AlbiTheShroom]

Maybe because the American localization didn't want the characters to be screaming all the time, since it seems to be more of a Japanese thing. You don't really hear characters yell in English a lot in video games.

[@robertanderson9447]

Also, fitting both the Japanese and English scripts on the cartridge would probably be impossible, unless the audio quality was compromised even further.

@@jasonjellie9342 No. 「逃がしはせん！お前は私と共に滅びるのだ！」That's what Andorofu says in the original language of the Game スターフォックス64 逃がしはせん！is "nigashi wa sen!", in English is something like: You're not going to get away! You're not going to get away with this! You're not getting away! You're not going to escape! お前は私と共に滅びるのだ！is Omae wa watashi to tomoni horobiru noda!", in English is something like You will perish with me! For you shall perish with me! Therefore this in English is what is said, close enough: You're not going to escape! For you shall perish with me!

[@Mrpastry909]

Reading the Japanese while knowing basic Chinese is fascinating. Most of the writing is hiragana/katagana, which for me is completely unintelligible, but a lot of the kanji, although pronounced completely differently, is the same as Chinese. 作戰完了in both languages means mission accomplished, and 全機報告 also translates to "all ships report!"

[@triplesixmafia]

That’s pretty interesting. There actually is a Chinese version of SF64 you may wanna check out. it was released onto a Chinese N64-style console called the iQue Player (it’s official Nintendo endorsed it). try looking up “star fox 64 iQue”. ALL of the text and voice acting (everything) is in Chinese

[@navihey]

45:53 下等動物 😂

[@thisisawsome34253212]

Then you've already gotten down part of the most challenging aspect of reading Japanese. Hiragana and Katakana are the first things taught and aren't that bad in comparison. Native children have until the end of high school to learn the 2,136 Kanji characters. If you were to study them, then you could probably do a good job keeping up with hearing what's being pronounced, even if you can't understand it.

[@Mrpastry909]

@@thisisawsome34253212 I'm not sure, Japanese and Chinese don't sound anything alike spoken because they are not descended from the same language.

[@thisisawsome34253212]

​@@Mrpastry909 I'm aware that the characters are pronounced differently, but the meanings are still the same as you said, and the surrounding hiragana can help determine which version of the word is spoken. It's still very hard. I've only started learning the language, and I can only memorize a select few, some of which are uncommon, like 剣 just because I'm a BOTW fan and analyzing the Japanese captions for that game. It's a long journey.

OK, so, storytime: in my early teens the store where I rented this game, for some unexplained reason, only had the Japanese copy of this game (they had no other Japanese games, only this one) and for a good year or so I kept playing this game in full Japanese, not knowing the story, or what I was supposed to do in certain parts, and someway, somehow, I still beat the game. It's so good watching a full gameplay of the Japanese version and relieving the voice acting

[@uglybad4]

assuming you were living in the US or UK, you didn't have any issues with region locking? granted the only thing keeping you from running JP games on NTSC consoles and vice versa were some plastic notches, but I didn't think that was common knowledge at the time

[@Ukiby3000]

@@uglybad4 Actually, I live in Brazil and most Nintendo stuff here at the time was imported from the US, so while there was a region lock that wouldn't allow me to play the cartridge on my system, the rental shop had this "adapter" that they would rent out along with the Star Fox cartridge that allowed the game to be played on US systems. I was very young at the time (about 10-11) so I really can't tell you what that accessory was because I can't remember, but it was kinda like a "game genie" in the way it worked aka you would stick it on the console and then put the cartridge on top.

You weren't region locked? I guess you were pretty lucky with that. Unrelated note to Star Fox: If you had a Famicom or Super Famicom, did you ever find any games in the Wagyan series?

[@Ukiby3000]

@@CheddarVG Actually the store also rented out a converter that enabled you to play Japanese games on US consoles with the game so I was bale to play it with that.

[@MisterJang0]

It probably sounds more compressed because the Japanese actors were speaking way louder.

[@Smiggy_126]

​@yuushwo I think that the fact that they speak quickly greatly contrasts the desperation of the characters, they know that they are in DANGER, both the Lylat system and themselves.

[@davidtosh7200]

You can only 6 medals in 7 missions by going Corneria, Meteo, Fortuna, Sector X, Titania, Bolse, and Venom 1. Forget the medal in Venom 1 because there are not enough enemies in Venom 1 to score 200 or more points in Venom 1. The only medal you get in Venom is Venom 2, via Area 6. In Venom 2, each Star Wolf Team scores 51 points by destroying one each plus 23 points for destroying Andross in the second form. 204 plus 23 equals 227 points. Star Wolf Team have improved ships which make this a chaotic battle and save all 3 of your Star Fox Team, especially Slippy before encounter with Andross in the All-range battle. Venom 2 is entirely All-Range Mode.

[@CappnRob]

Dude he literally was 1 point short of Venom's medal on Venom 1, and only flubbed it because his charge shot didn't take out the very last energy coupling in the Andross tunnel lol. He would've had it otherwise - hell, if Robot Andross gave points he DEFINITELY would've had it.

[@Hellwolf36]

"Japanese is better than English." Please, shut up. You expect way too much from a translation of a language that's rather difficult to translate. Not to mention cultural differences. Star Fox 64's dub isn't even that bad like at all. Quit being a weeb. This wasn't a simple language translation. They had to change things to be more western kid friendly. If this game was rated T or M, it probably would be more in line with this. Remember, it's a kid's game at the end of the day. Alot of these lines are dark, you wouldn't want this as a child.
