Forums - Gaming - Weekly Famitsu and General Japanese Translation Thread: Updated with the 03/12 Issue!

Hajimemashite, watashi wa Kylee desu, yoroshiku onegai shimasu.

Hey everyone, in a joint project with Cloudman we're starting a thread to make translations of gaming related topics from Japanese to English, pretty simple.

The main idea for this thread is to translate the contents of gaming's lognest running magazine, Weekly Famitsu but it may be use as a whole to translate all sorts of news from Japan.

So, how will this work? Well everytime a new issue of Famitsu is out either Cloudman or I will post about it giving a brief rundown of the issue, apart from that if anyone needs a translation just ask either of us and we'll see what can be done, keep in mind, translating whole articles is just ouf of the question.

Just follow a little set of rules.

- DO NOT POST SCANS, while this site has no general rule against scans I want to inforce one, the people of Famitsu are obviously unhappy when people just share their paid magazine for the whole world to see so the usually take legal action against anyone who does so let's avoid trouble with that so, DO NOT POST SCANS, DO NOT POST LINKS TO SCANS EITHER, a quick google search will send you to scans pretty fast anyway but let's just keep that to ourselves. The only scans allowed are from issues at least 10 years old, no real problem then.

- If you want something translate but neither me, nor Cloudman has it PM is that, keep in mind, translations won't be private, everything will be posted on this thread, so no translating hentai.

- Don't be a dick.

We'll start with the Famitsu issue of 26/11 (which is coming out on 12/11) originally I wanted to start with the last issue but Cloudman wouldn't make up his mind.

If you do want translations of last weeks issue feel free to ask tho.

Oh, btw, scans of the front cover are allowed, shouldn't have a problem with those.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

I really wish I didn't procrastinate so much, or else I would be fairly good at Japanese. Instead I'm been at a beginner's level forever.

Go to Japan for at least a year. That helped me a lot, haha...

I wish! However, I can't afford university on my own, and so I'm going with Chinese at university (which my parents would much rather I learn than Japanese), so I'm going to have to either wait a while or learn here in Canada.

Excited to see what these magazines say. Isn't this upcoming one with the zelda article. I can't wait to see what it says.
