The Story Of: 5 Mistranslated Arcade Games

[@RobbieStrike]

Did not know Donkey meant stupid but it always has been a cool sounding game!

I had no idea at all that "circus" actually meant something in racing in both Japan and France. But Taito America (the US arm of Taito of Japan) didn't get this, believing that "circus" in US parlance meant a fun-filled festival at a big top full of clowns and animals, changed it to Continental Circuits for the US release in 1988.

I remember reading about the Contintental Circus thing back in the day and knew the Donkey Kong and Pacman stories too. But Tutankham and Dead Angle are definitely new to me!

I heard Miyamoto was looking for a synonym for “stubborn “ and found Donkey.

Love your video, only wish it was about an hr longer...

I don't really understand the Tutankhamen one, surely they could have just used a different font or something?
