my entry: Appoooh. I guess it's supposed to Japanese onomatopoeia, but it sounds very wrong for some reason

 

[MattKeil]

kah-tah-mah-ree dah-mah-shi
or maybe just 'see' at the end. I dunno.
I'm one of those guys who can't pronounce karaoke "kerry-oak-ee" anymore.

It's "shi," yes. I don't know why they Romanized it as "Damacy," but whatever. How can people be mispronouncing the title when it's sung over and over in the game itself?

what the hell is a "Faxanadu" sounds like a snapple drink. :lol I better look that shit up.

This one actually has an explanation. Xanadu was an old Japanese RPG series, and when it came out for the Famicom (NES), they added the "fa". Still don't know why they didn't change it for US release though.

On another note, Faxanadu fuckin rocked.

I could think of alot....


Primal Rage
Soul Calibur(why didn't Namco stick with Soul Edge I don't know)
Dark Edge
SlashOut
SpikeOut
Alien Front
Chaos Theory, Splinter Cell
Quest of D
Mushi King
Gauntlet Seven Sorrows(crappy name for a crappy game; go figure)
Gauntlet Dark Legacy(they should've stuck with "Legends")

I could think of more, but I'll you this; SEGA really have thing for giving thier games strange names.

 

[casmaksen]

'Bastard' both the best and the worst name ever for a game. I had it on my super famicom.

I believe it was an in-joke at Namco why it was cy, hence my saying "it could probably go either way"
Most people hear it but can't pronounce it. Kinda like my girlfriend's name. (She's Chinese.) She'll say it over and over and over, and whenever I ay it she'll laugh and say I'm saying it wrong. Haha.

[Cheesemeister]

Not only some of the worst titles, but also some of the worst games ever made.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

Twilight Princess is unintentionally hilarious for the system.

Advance Wars: DS.....so dumb, given the history of the series. Game is fantastic, though!

[Ranger X]

You are totally insulting MC Kids. This game have been ridiculed because of the McDo liscence but it's actually one of the best platformer on the NES.

 

[Anyanka]

Violence Fight. Corny, generic and redundent.

 

[Nikashi]

"Revengers of Vengeance"

I swear to god in the ad for this game, it said 'BASED ON A TRUE STORY'. Anyone care to elaborate?

 

[AniHawk]

I love the game, but "Ocarina of Time" is a pretty bad name.
