Shin Megami Tensei

For a western audience, this is really one of the worst names ever chosen. I doubt anyone ever says it precisely correctly.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

I Always pronounced ID games as I.D. Games, like you personal I.D.

Same, I work at Gamestop and they always say ID on the commercial TV. But I refuse to say it, it makes no sense. It's I.D.

I used to be I.D as well, but it is ID for self, sadly :(

...afaik.

Zelda U is called Zelda: Breath of Fire, right..? I dunno, on black out.

Also, my parents used to call every game console a Nintendo, even the PS consoles xD

A friend calls Paper Mario "Mario Paper". It's actually pretty hysterical to hear her say it.

...I honestly like "Mario Paper" a lot more.

I was always annoyed by the way most people pronounce/write Aerith, but that's probably just me.

As a non native speaker I used to pronounce Infamous as In + famous, so inf-ei- mous instead of in-fe-mous. Most of my friends who aren't native speakers still make the same mistake. We also can't prounce the -ous part right and instead we pronounce it as oo, as in "mOOt point".

Once I said that in front of an American friend and he said "wait, there is a game about a moose? Sold!".

Same here... actually for the first couple of years I pronounced it like that untill I saw the e3 presentation for Second Son

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

Until just a few years ago I thought it was Diddy Kong's Quest. I had missed the play on words in the title for years.

Don't feel bad, even after being told of the play on words, it took me 2 times to notice it.

Until Metal Gear 4, I always thought that the first one on PSX was called Metal Gear: Soldier Snake.
