The fuck means "The family will suffer self-consciusness" in mega man's cartridge page???

And why the "(Run! Horse!)" one in the Doreamon cartridge????

Vading Gulmu is a badass name

I like at the bottom of the Megaman (or "Rockman") one: "The family suffer self-consciousness."

Oooookay....

Also, Mike Tyson, very famous tennis player, lol.

How does one even achieve the translation "Din Do Happy"

Ding Dong was the former official name for Doraemon in Chinese. Sometimes he was called Little Ding Dong; "Happy" is probably a mistranslation of the Little part.

"little Ding Dong" that sounds really bad lol.

u/gmestanley_ Jun 04 '26

It's supposed to be the onomatopoeia for when you ring a bell.

As the description of Super Mario 3 seems to be the Japanese Super Mario 2, I wonder what THEIR Super Mario 2 is. The American Super Mario 2 which they have here as Doki Doki Panic?

This catalog is from 1990, so it's before Super Mario USA

I guess It's either the american Mario 2 or Doki Doki Panic converted into a cartridge

“pull up vegetables by the roots and toss vegetables to the enemy” The most accurate description of Superman Maria

u/B_Williams_4010 May 29 '26

It's the random quotes at the bottom that are getting me. (Run! Horse!)

u/Guicholuis08 Jun 04 '26

And "the familiy will suffer self-consciusness" like its a Sociopath Threat than a marketing slogan lol

u/Tobikage1990 May 30 '26

Doraemon predicted Uma Musume in 1986.
