This was awesome! Fun little story behind those crazy games.

I dont think that realy was a "video game review". Sure you were talking about a video game, but you talk more about the diolog and charecters than the gameplay itself.
But with all that aside, it was very entertaining. Nice job.

Hilarious.
The publishing of these games must be a Gordian Knot.

I never thought that I would see a game that has worse translation then Shenmue. If you plan on making more of these video game documentaries, be sure that you have one more fan to add to your list.
Good video!

Great to see another video from you.
Those have to be some of the worst translations I've ever seen. But as far as top-down shooters go, it looks pretty cool.

08.03.2009 - 20:27 | OtamamonThis one is my new favourite video of yours. The acting was much better (Probably because you didn't need to force yourself to sound angry) and the information you presented was top-notch as usual. The change of scene also worked in your favour here. Being closer to the camera let's us see your face and expression clearer while not making us wonder why your hands aren't being used to emote. You also set up the in game footage very well, the voice levels matched almost perfectly.
Terrific. Keep up the good work. ^_^

I personally don't mind if a game has no real story as long as the gameplay is compelling.Geometry Wars 2 is a great example of this.
The voice actors reading word for word off the script reminds me of Ron Burgandy.

That's really interesting. Those are the worst North American release descisions I've seen since Super Mario Bros 2. Though they do seem pretty similar to the Touhou games. Anyways, great work Marz, I can't wait till the next live stream.

I actually want to get Castle of Shikigami 3 now ... Been passing it up for a while.
-
08.03.2009 - 20:40 | zorg440nicely done! I've heard of all of these games but never knew until now how everything tied together. now I kinda know what's going on, but its still a little confusing. oh well. maybe someday, I'll get these games and play them for myself. :D

Who needs story-lines to their top down shooters anyway? Raiden was awsome with just blowin' shit up. ;)

Ahh, horrible translations. I've had that problem ALOT, expecailly with manga. Like Tokyo Mew Mew. Ugh, so many engrish mistakes...
But anways, loveley as always Miss Marz!

Alfa System? They published Tales of the World, which is decent in my oppinion. I've NEVER heard of 'XS' games before, though. I'd like to get Shikigami III, if it was released here in the UK, that is. The comedy seems amazing XD I feel so sorry for the Ninja and Butler's VA's. However, making fun of yaoi = a-okay!

come on you're acting doesn't suck(belive me i've seen much worse)
but you need to get some more videos out!
btw, great review...
a question, why do you refuse to mod your ps2?
-
08.03.2009 - 21:04 | CondorelUngood translations are sugar wonderful!
-All your base are belong to us- WOOT!
Seriously though, top notch show you've put together here. This is the most natural you've sounded in one of your videos yet. Either you're getting better at your script writing or getting more comfortable in front of the camera, I can't decide which, but either way it's great to see that your presentation is finally catching up to your content.
Keep it up; every video you've posted so far has been better than the last, and I've got a feeling the best is yet to come.

"This voice acting is nearly ... if not worst than my acting! Wait ... no nothing is worst than my acting -_-'" awww lol XD
I saw a youtube video for one those games, the difficulty is insane the amount of shit being fired at you. Interesting how the games got messed up by poor company really.

Good video!
The irony though is that you're better at reviewing video games than you are anything else...
ah...bring on the flame.

08.03.2009 - 21:57 | DaniusKangThe game play of Castle Shikigami 2 had a disturbing similarity to Ikaruga. I actually thought that was what it was at first.

Wow, what were they doing when they were told to translate? Smoking crack up their butts?
You think they actually studied or read the actual game in itself before they made it? Sure some games have similar gameplay but they're not all related, it's not like you say Ty the Tasmanian Tiger is actually Rayman 4 because they have a similar way in games (throwing stuff like fists or boomerangs at things).
And I'm sure you're acting's not that bad, I challenge you to a bad act-off with my friend Tony. NOW HE'S THE WORST ACTOR IN THE UNIVERSE.

08.03.2009 - 22:21 | Nicker44O.O you should review more games :P

08.03.2009 - 22:28 | DesertEagle
Great stuff Marzgurl! Will you be doing more stuff like this in the future?
-
08.03.2009 - 22:34 | Tinker
Wow that was some terrible translation! I wish there was more mocking of bad translations, they always amuse me.
Also I agree that bringing the camera closer to yourself was a good move. And I didn't see anything wrong with your acting in this! (in reference to the "nothing sucks as much as my acting" bit) You seemed much more natural. Maybe you're finding your own style :)

The acting joke had me bursting at the seams.
Great stuff keep it up.

Makes me wonder if the charlie's angels look-alikes were from some other game they very poorly localized.

08.03.2009 - 23:06 | FunkyM
Marzgurl is Chronologically Confused?
Fun :)

08.03.2009 - 23:34 | redred4040I actually have CS2 as well as MLF2 and i have to agree with you about the dialog on this one.
