Social NintenZone Social 2.0: Remember That Time Candle Jack Visited Swa

Didn't everything Japanese change to Murican in the localizations?

Yep, that's what he meant. Specifically, the games takes place in Los Angeles in the western version (with some Japanese stuff still going on, but they were typically isolated from the city)

Great Ace Attorney is very Japanese, as in, the settings, the characters, etc are strongly geared towards 19th century japanese culture. So it's going to be extremely difficult to get it localized correctly if they want to keep things consistent.

What about apple juice? Is apple juice okay?

Oh boy, you're in for a treat. That's all I am willing to say!

Yeah, berry big circus is my favorite case too.

We got some scans of the New Ace Attorney 6 from Famitsu and it takes place out of Japan.

Your Wii is a classy dame.

Pomegranate juice imported from the oases of eastern Persia will suffice.

Your Wii is very picky and it needs its vitamin D

Nah, it prefers carrot juice. The vitamins in it will make it Sii better

Orange juice contains water.

Electronics are protected in enclosures to protect them against indoor hazards.

The Wii is an electronic protected by its enclosure.

The water is an indoor hazard.

CONCLUSION: the Wii is made to not receive water why you try it?

....I just woke up in the morning

I mean that one being funny, some of these are real. Like can you explain how my pc power supply says "for indoor uses only"?

Like, it wan;t matter if the pc is outside......(except maybe in winter or something).

 

[epicmartin7]

So, I just got up and the old thread was locked. I started to panic and found out there was a new one.

I was going to read all the past pages, but there are 8 of them -_-. So could anyone catch me up on what the heck is going on? This is all confusing me right now. Did we also get some new info on Shovel Knight?

 

[Solfiner]

My favorite warning sign is "may contain peanuts" on peanut butter.

So basically, by Americanizing things, they created a plot hole. Isn't that grand?

Why are Americans so afraid of foreign cultures to the point of censoring them when translating foreign works?

It's a Japanese game with a Japanese setting and Japanese characters, why change things instead of being sensitized to different cultures? I just don't understand this mindset. It's repulsive.

Last I checked, here in Europe, we don't change American movies in order to be European. Likewise for any other foreign works.

As this clearly shows, that's a recommendation, it doesn't actually MEAN anything

To those worried about DGS's situation... I've decided to compile a timeline of announcement and release dates of PLvAA, AA5, DGS and AA6.

Timeline of Ace Attorney announcement/releases.

PLvAA's Reveal: 10/19/10
AA5's Full Reveal: 9/5/12 (Originally confirmed to be in works in 2007, logo revealed in January 2012)
AA5's Localization Announcement: 9/5/12
PLvAA's JP Release: 11/29/12
AA5's JP Release: 7/25/13
PLvAA's Localization Announcement: 8/7/13
AA5's NA Release: 10/24/13
PLvAA's NA Release: 8/29/14 (should be noted, it released many months earlier in EU/AU)

DGS's Reveal: 4/22/14
DGS's JP Release: 7/9/15
AA6's Reveal: 9/1/15
AA6's Localization: 9/1/15

Notice how PLvAA wasn't announced for localization up a few months before AA5 was released in NA. The same may happen with DGS. Let's hope for the best!

 

[Starlight_Lily]

I think Great Ace Attorney is staying in Japan because it's so Japanese. For whatever reason they want to pretend it's still taking place in California. AA6 will probably make its way over though. I think main series games will always make it, but spinoffs are a mixed bag.

But isn't the Great Ace Attorney set in Great Britain? I'm pretty sure that's right since Sherlock and Wattson have never let Britain to take cases. So shouldn't they have an easier time localising it then the other games, since Britain seems to to be the only other country the USA can acknowledge at times, even if what they're acknowledging is not the modern day culture of the UK

I assume they want the the western audience to feel more familiar with the settings I guess?


To be absolutely honest though, the localization of the games themselves are actually pretty fantastic.

That's not unique to American cultures, even Japan has heavily edited shows in the past. For instance, my favorite example would be Beast Wars, which had so many different changes that some of the characters were almost flat out unrecognizable compared to their American counterparts. Some of these examples were made more "Japanese" in a sense like how Tigatron became a ronin parody rather then his original personality in the American version.

Really, the thing to remember about media is that when it crosses over to another country, there is always the possibility that it gets changed around for the country it's trying to cater to, sometimes to a great extent. American examples are the most commonly heard about partially because we're the most aware of them as a western society, but it's not something that only Americans go through. There are going to be examples of media getting heavily edited in other countries that we will never hear about as a result of where we live, and it's not going to be ever exclusive to one country as long as there are political, cultural or other such reasons that drive how certain shows or other media are localized.

So my store finally let me pre-order the X special edition. Now I can rest easy at last.

I guess this is what happens with Lost in Translation thing. One of the 2 biggest examples of this was with Digimon when Saban got it first. There was a lot of thing skewed over in the West and in video game sense PS1 version of Persona 1.

For Captain Falcon mains

 

[Chrono.]

I have a bit of a problem.

I pre-ordered SMM awhile back but, apparently, I'll be going away to a trip all weekend on it's release so I won't be able to pick it up day 1.

My question is, I won't lose my pre-order if I fully pay for the game, right?

That's true but irrelevant, since that was the Vegeta voice actor from the Ocean Group Dub.
The funi dub and all video games, the voice that we basically all think of with Vegeta is Chris Sabat, who doesn't do MLP

Because they know they can't do anything else.
