Yup, German and French (Sakura Taisen 4, lol) seem to be very popular amongst the Japanese games. Most certainly a way to give them an exotic and undecipherable touch... Anxious

I'm just happy thart they haven't made a game with Dutch [from the Netherlands, a.k.a. Holland, my native tongue] spoken language yet ... If there's something I HATE, it's a game in dutch.

It's bad enough that we only got a Dutch version of Lufia 2 [SNES/SFC] here which was [and I'm not overreacting here] just a crappy translation... I had to go through the pain of getting a ROM and EMU to play the game in English. [I bought the game in dutch, so basically it's not totally illegal to do so Wink

]

Anyway, just to be curious ... what is the full name of this game anyway?
Akumajyou Dracula X - Chi no Rondo ?

And what would this translate into?
Demon Castle Dracula X - Rondo of Blood?

You got it right Smile

French translations are usually not a must either. You would have thought that FF7 (as a huge hit in the making) had benefited from a decent job... Well, the translation was absolutely laughable, nearly hilarious, right from the title credits - just imagine a pathetic Babelfish translation full of grammar and spelling errors shamelessly advertised as a professional one.

You should see the botched spanish versions of some Neo Geo Games... they are the "All your base" of the non-english gamers in the American Continent.
