Nintendo started in 1889 and originally made a name for itself by selling trading cards and was eventually licensed by Disney. The company, in their aggressive pursuit of wealth also invented toys and invested in questionable sources of income such as "love hotels" long before Mario was conceived

The European Sonic CD manual has an amazingly bad translation that explains what a "fuck zone" is. And no, this wasn't a case of European Spanish being different from Brazilian Spanish (*Portuguese) or anything similar either. Putos means the same thing everywhere afaik.

This name was used for those dash panels in the special stages, and I like to think that maybe the translator played the game and found them really annoying lol

O manual europeu do Sonic CD tem uma tradução extremamente ruim que explica o que é uma "zona de foda". E não, não se tratava de um caso do espanhol europeu ser diferente do espanhol brasileiro ou algo parecido. Putos significa a mesma coisa em todos os lugares, pelo que sei.

Esse nome era usado para aquelas placas nos projetos especiais, e eu gosto de pensar que talvez o tradutor jogou o jogo e os achou muito achado rsrs

I'm from Brazil but we don't speak Spanish, we speak Portuguese, our colonizers were the Portuguese

Yup, brain fart on my end. Fixed. Though the point still stands that there's absolutely no way the word could've been mixed up with something else, as, in both Spanish and Portuguese, "putos" definitely can't be referring to dash pads

 

[Lod 10]

Sim, um lapso de memória da minha parte. Corrigido. Embora a questão ainda seja que não há absolutamente nenhuma possibilidade de a palavra ter sido confundida com outra coisa, já que, tanto em espanhol quanto em português, "putos" definitivamente não pode se referir a painéis de instrumentos.

I understand, sorry, I just wanted to lean in and defend that I hate people thinking that Brazil speaks Spanish or we are close to Mexico.

Why, I was born and raised in a zona de putos.

 

[Lod 10]

Ora, eu nasci e fui criado numa zona de putos.

iHere in Brazilian Portuguese this name is a very serious insult.
