“All your base are belong to us.”
This is a phrase well known among the gaming community. If I may quote CATS, the idiotically designed cyborg villain from the zig-moving rail shooter of yesteryear, Zero Wing, one more time:
“How are you gentlemen!! All your base are belong to us! You are on the way to destruction! You have no chance to survive make your time!”
No, that is not me writing like that on purpose. If I may recite the opening of this translation abomination:
-In A.D. 2101, war was beginning-
Captain: What happen?! (Yes, not “What happened?”)
Mechanic: Somebody set up us the bomb! (Who set who up? What now?)
Operator: We get signal!
Captain: What!!
Operator: Main screen turn on!!
Captain: It’s you!!
CATS: How are you gentlemen!! All your base are belong to us! (Yes…”All your base are belong to us.”) You are on the way to destruction!
Captain: What you say!! (Yes, “What you say!!”)
CATS: You have no chance to survive make your time! (…Um…okayyyy?) Ha ha ha ha...
Captain: Take off every zig!! You know what you doing!! (This is getting incredibly redundant…) Move zig!! For great justice!! (…No comment)
See? Is it not redunkulus? (Something I saw in a Zaxby’s restaurant; don’t ask)
But I’m just wasting my time. Most gamers are fairly familiar with “All Your Base,” and the phenomenon died years before I discovered it.
Heck, I’ve never even played Zero Wing, but after hearing about this “All Your Base” crap, I was forced by an unfightable impulse in me to go to YouTube and look this crap up. The first video I found was a music video with a montage of various signs saying “All Your Base Are Belong To Us,” rather than the usual things they say. It was rather ‘ehh,’ and besides that, all I wanted to see was the intro.
That was when I found one with voice actors rather than flash voices, that was ultimately funnier than the last one (partly because the way CATS said “All your base are belong to us” was funnier) and included the full intro. Later on, I even found a version of Queen’s famous song, Bohemian Rhapsody, with the intro’s dialogue! Definitely worth checking out! (Falls over laughing)
Even stranger is the fact that on a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles forum, there was a thread dedicated to fan-made blooper reels, and one was a short reinterpretation of “All Your Base” with The Shredder and Raphael. Obviously, it’s destiny that we met.
So, is it safe to say that Zero Wing is the most poorly translated game ever released? Probably……
