"Engrish" is a term used to describe English which becomes broken as the result of having been first translated from something in another language, typically Japanese or Chinese. Nothing in the history of man better explified this than NES games. Nintendo and the third-party companies which produced games for them in the 80's and early 90's were notorious for having text that would cause most English teachers to commit suicide.

Without further introduction, NESville presents "Lost in Transration," a collection of the finest Engrish the NES has to offer.
